    Dodge 8.0 Differences?

    I've seen those videos in my suggested YouTube videos, but never got around to them. Seeing a tear down of the two variants definitely has me curious.

    How could a clean Gen3 viper sell for $38K?

    At a glance it is a car that has "higher miles", and a history with some level of front end damage. Gen 3 cars aren't usually the most sought after, the auction appears to be no reserve, and the market is settling down for most Vipers after some record highs. When you add it all up, it looks...

    Anybody wanna talk about my Viper?

    That is outstanding Well worth a night on the couch if you ask me. Then again, I must have spent most of that first night just staring at the car in the garage instead of sleeping anyway. I'm sure she'll warm up to the idea with the attention you guys are sure to see at car shows.

    Cool cars that s u c k to own...........

    My thoughts on the Viper... 1.) It's one of the most affordable hand built low production (just over 31,000 TOTAL) iconic sports cars you can own. 2.) Maintenance won't bankrupt you the way other low production sports cars can. 3.) The driving experience is visceral which makes me feel alive...

    2001 GEN2 GTS Trailing Rear Suspension Link

    That's one of those strange parts that don't share a lot or any parts interchangeability with other Dodge's. Have you tried X2 builders, LeeC parts or any other salvage business that strips down wrecked Vipers?

    FS: 1996 Viper GTS Hennessey 600

    Outstanding car, I definitely remember all of the coverage Motor Trend did on the Hennessy Vipers. You're right down the road from me, small world. Good luck on the sale, definitely a gem in the gts world.

    Suspension bushings

    It depends on how far their procedure says to tear it down. Some shops have to stick with what the computer tells them to charge hours wise. 40 hrs. does sound a little much, especially if the arms are staying attached to the knuckle. I did mine in my garage, but I did have to take the arms...

    Need some Help: 2001 GTS drivers door will not open.

    Luckily I've never had to deal with this, but have read a surprising number of people on various Viper forums that have. Sounds like it's common to have wire breakage at the harness where it enters the door. I've also read that the broken wire may not be obvious, because the breakage could be...

    Rear shock fork removal help needed

    If you look up the throtl Hellcat Viper swap video number 4 on youtube...I know it's a little sacrilegious...but 5:30 into the video he tackles the part of the suspension you are messing with. He basically had to weld a pipe to the shock body. Normally you can lock the forks in a vice and take a...

    Need advice on '02 GTS for sale

    Having the dealership look at it is not a bad idea. If the car can't make it to them, you might be able to have something worked out allowing their tech to go to the car. PPI (pre purchase inspection) can be done, but I'm not sure who in that area is reputable or their pricing. Could always take...

    Throttle body manufacturer?

    Thought I'd throw a little bump on this. Anyone else have an idea of who made these throttle bodies?

    Need advice on '02 GTS for sale

    Looks to be a nice low mile GTS. As far as pricing...things are a little all over the map right now. We hit some all time highs, but the market has settled a little in the last few months. I would recommend looking at comparable Viper GTS's to gauge reasonable price negotiation. Things to look...

    Looking for Koni 2812 1999 front coilovers and ACR rear wheels. Anyone?

    Performance Shock rebuilt my Koni 2812's, 1(800) 965-5664. They had to replace one of the shock tubes with the updated 2812 tubes, so I figure they might have a good idea of the current state of those shocks.

    Throttle body manufacturer?

    Those Accufab are the closest I have seen, but not the same. Maybe an older version? The blades also don't have any markings, so maybe custom or Chinese?

    Throttle body manufacturer?

    These are aftermarket throttle bodies that were installed by a previous owner. The car is a 1999 GTS ACR. I can't find anything that looks like these. I'm not surprised given the age of the car and rarity of Vipers in general. My best guess is they were discontinued years ago...but by who? No...
