    Thinking of another Viper

    Thank you - I agree. Will do another Post - Wondering if anyone has experience touching that paint up, or doing something like repainting the front Fascia, and matching the paint ? John

    Thinking of another Viper

    Thank you so much. I simply want to drive to enjoy, I'm not going to do that much to it outside maybe exhaust etc. Also, wondering about color match if I have to paint the Copperhead, but thank you. The Copperhead is a beautiful car, IMHO! The price differential is substantial in what I am...

    Thinking of another Viper

    Good Morning Viper folks! I am thinking about getting another Viper, and remember when the 2008's came out, and Bill at Woodhouse wrote a great piece about the improvements over the previous years. I have the opportunity to get a Copperhead at a very good price (Not sure of the paint chips on...

    Just returned from the Woodward Dream cruise where we met him - had upwards of 180 Prowlers and he showed up in his Black Tie edition..... very important thing he said was Chrysler would not reduce Capital Spending. Many Chrysler Engineers were there including many SRT folks and almost all of...

    1998 Viper GTS priced to sell

    Post it on a national site - you pick, but I had my 05 Copperhead on here and not one call. Priced right too.... only 800 miles. I put it on www.cars.com and Hemmings and sold it in a month for exactly what I was asking. Had numerous calls. No need to give it away. There is a buyer out...

    How long does a Viper take to sell?

    For reference, I sold my 2001 RT/10, Sapphire and Black Interior, both tops in good shape last Octover for 45K. It had the normal side sill damage from rocks and the front facia had a few fairly good scrapes (hit a big dip in Ohio construction area - I was sick). Steering wheel had a rip in it...

    Fatal Crash on NJ TPK

    Just terribly sad.... How could you not be wearing your seat belt ? Just unreal..... I sold my 05 but as I remember if you do not put your seat belt on, doesn't the darn thing beep at you ? John

    ABS -vs- non ABS Vipers

    To me the best reply (from Cody) for everyday driving and non track is the fact that we really do not know what may come up in routine driving - a kid on a bike, a turn that was more than we thought etc. So not being en expert driver and never having tracked a Viper, that is something I need to...

    ABS -vs- non ABS Vipers

    Great info - thanks. I had read that under hard braking the pre-ABS cars could lock up the right front wheel. But truth be known, I have never done any what I would consider "real hard" driving on the street and I have never tracked the car although I am going to the SRT driving school and will...

    ABS -vs- non ABS Vipers

    Thanks - I have had a 2001 and a 2005. The SRT was fantastic. I am now considering another GENII (cost) and was just wondering if the 1999-2000 cars are that much different (besides pistons after 1999, Adjustable Pedals etc.) I am seeing the 1998, 1999 cars for decent prices and was just...

    ABS -vs- non ABS Vipers

    I am looking to pick up another Viper in the next 12-18 months (hopefully sooner). My question is, How big a difference is there in driveability between the 2001 and 2002 ABS cars and the 1999 and 2000 non ABS ? Appreciate the input.. Regards, John

    July 7th Hot Cars Cool Treats -- Ohio Regions

    Well, I guess since there were no reply's nobody went ? I went to Culvers on Rt42 and met Mike and Arron (spelling?). Aarron has a beautiful Viper Powered SRT-10 truck and Mike a gorgeous SRT-8 Charger. No Vipers..... Drove the Prowler and was hoping to see 8-12 Vipers. Then off to Dickeys...

    Gen II are a automotive masterpiece

    OK, Prowler is 253 HP in a 2600 Lb. car. I have Borla, MTD Intake and now Gears. No, it will never run with a Viper... but if you can't drive a Viper (and many can't), it will certainly surprise the hell out of you off the line. Trust me. Plus, I assure you I can sell my 2001 Prowler...

    Possible Causes for an Underpowered SRT-10

    My 05 SRT-10 did not feel as fast as my 01 RT/10. I was told that the SRT-10 would get faster as the car broke in. The 01 had about 8500 miles on it. The SRT was new - I didn't really get into it until it had about 700 miles on it. Also, First gear in a new SRT-10 did not feel as strong...

    Is anybody buying Vipers?

    OK, And the question was, are Vipers Selling right ? Stand in front of a mirror and say 10 times " I own a Vette". Turn around and say 10 times "I own a Viper". Or you can say you Drive, race, polish.... whatever. See which one brings the biggest smile to you face and buy that one...

    Viper vs. Ford GT

    I did a search on re-calls and build quality - I stand corrected. Only recall I could find was 2005 potentially dangerous breakage problems with front suspension which Ford repaired under warrenty. All reports on build quality were 5 out of 5 or 10 out of 10. Regards, John

    Viper vs. Ford GT

    If you'll check I believe that in the first year of production there were quite a number of recalls on the GT...... I too have heard of quality issues on the GT. John

    Is anybody buying Vipers?

    The only time I saw a Z06 race at the track, it was a brand new 06 in Columbus OH, and off the line the rear axle bled everywhere - they had to push the car off the track and shut it down to clean it up. Never even launched. Broke warming the tires up. I think people are not chiming in...

    Is anybody buying Vipers?

    I love Vipers. I'd take a viper any day over a Z06. I admire the Corvette and wany Chevy to do well, but there is nothing like a viper to me and I have and would pay a premium for the right car. I'd buy this one before I would pick a Z06. You could probably pick this one up at a decent price...

    RT/10 vs. SRT

    One additional thing - I have a high curb to my home and I live in Ohio..... not always the best of roads. I had a fairly scratched up front facia on the 2001 just from normal, careful driving. And I really had to be careful on the driveway. The SRT sat higher and I did not have one scratch...

    Sick To My Stomach - Need Advice

    I would ask the dealer because if they re-painted it there should be a record of it - someone had to get paid to perform the work. There are body shops that can make it virtually impossible to tell you have re-painted it at all - even the quarter. I had an Aqua Blur 05 SSR that the dealer...
