Mystery misfire
I noticed the same thing, standard vehicle cylinder order stamped on them. I thought they would connect straight up, but they did need a little massage from the dremel to clip in properly. Figured that was just a demon coil thing to fit the connector, but guess not. They do work good though, new...- BoondocSaint

Mystery misfire
Similar situation on the Delphi coils I installed. Little trim with the dremel made short work of any fitment issues for the connector. Glad some clean plugs sorted her out.- BoondocSaint

Off idle stumble and misfire 08 Coupe
I dropped one of my sparkplugs while doing a recent tune up. I looked it over real good and ultimately decided it was better to be safe than sorry. Chucking it in the trash sounds like it was the right move.- BoondocSaint

Mystery misfire
After your explanation, I'm leaning towards faulty coil. At 140k, (outstanding miles by the way), probably wouldn't hurt to swap those out. They aren't particularly expensive and would round out your spark diagnosis.- BoondocSaint

Buying Gen 3 with 8 prior owners?
I'd trust the PPI if it's done by a reputable mechanic. I wouldn't get overly worked up by the owner history. These cars change hands regularly by people looking to dip their toes in the water only to find they don't like the temperature. As far as resale goes, overall condition, miles, and...- BoondocSaint

Comprehensive Exhaust Video
https://youtu.be/Bo-dBHCuKzA?si=3zEo1sebdxc95BBu This was a great watch in V10 explanation and tuning custom exhaust for a more desired sound. Figured others might find some valuable information in this video.- BoondocSaint

Power steering reservoir cap ?
You can make your own out of pretty common materials. I had some old steel braded hose that I hose clamped to the top and routed down and away from the burn my car down bits. Just noticed you were asking about the cap. Puting an overflow hose on your cap will lock you new one in place when you...- BoondocSaint

What did you do to your viper today?
Technically yesterday, new plugs, wires, and coils. Decided to pop off the valve covers, because I never had a reason to, but doesn't hurt to take a look from time to time. Found a great car guy easter egg...set of T&D rollers hiding under there.- BoondocSaint

Gen 2 ACR water pump?
If you're asking this community whether you should sell the Viper and buy a sports sedan...I think you can probably guess the answer lol. Vipers aren't for everyone, they lean more heavily towards street legal racecar than sports car in many respects.- BoondocSaint

Gen 2 ACR water pump?
Wish I could say Vipers are different than any other Dodge in this regard, but your diagnosis will be the same as Al Bundy's. Since you already replaced the thermostat, (assumption that it failed in the semi closed/closed position) and had a temporary positive effect...I agree that an air pocket...- BoondocSaint

If I won the lottery...
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1999-chrysler-viper/ When these GT cars go for sale, it reminds me that I should be doing more in life. Any of these GT cars are the pinnacle of what I could ever want in a dream car, and the hope is alive given these do trade hands occasionally. I'm buying a...- BoondocSaint

CCW Race classic wheels
That's wild, I want to say those are the wheels that used to be on my car from it's previous life. I chose a different set of CCWs when I bought the car, never knew where the other ones went. I guess a scammer found them lol.- BoondocSaint

New owner, SE PA
Congrats on the new purchase and welcome to the community. If you are curious how a 2nd gen GTS stacks up against modern cars, I dropped a link to a great youtube channel. They boasted some of the best performance numbers new, and they are surprisingly capable cars by todays standards...- BoondocSaint

Hagerty: 5 Cars Taking Losses to Start 2026
This phenomenon isn't unique to the Viper. Just to name a few, the Lamborghini Countach, Ferrari Testarossa, Ferrari 355, Ferrari 308 and Porsche 993 all went through this. You look back when these cars were trading for pennies on the dollar, (the budget collector sports cars), they are all now...- BoondocSaint

Hagerty: 5 Cars Taking Losses to Start 2026
I find the parts aspect to be give and take. Some sports cars of this vintage and notoriety will bankrupt you at any level of restoration. The drivetrain and suspension cost in these cars is pretty on par with most run of the mill vehicles. On the other hand... a set of headlights can cost as...- BoondocSaint

97 GTS
Carfax definitely can have title discrepancies depending on the lengths someone is willing to go through to wash a title, or how accurate the reporting was in the first place. See if you can pull up an accident report to verify. Something that happened that long ago may be archived depending on...- BoondocSaint

Hagerty: 5 Cars Taking Losses to Start 2026
Yep, unfortunately, Dodge or Chrysler don't carry the same weight as Ferrari or Lamborghini in the sports car collector/enthusiast market. I'm sure we'll see some future bumps if a Ford vs Ferrari type movie about the Viper program ever comes to fruition, or when Dodge resurrects the Viper at...- BoondocSaint

Oil Pan Mystery
What was the trap door that came in these pans? I've seen aftermarket ones that are supposed to help with g-loading oil starvation, always planned to pick some up and install them. Are these ones a similar design to the aftermarket? My 99 ACR was built in May, really has me wondering if I have a...- BoondocSaint

Similar shaped headlight buckets?
Ironically, the headlights were originally designed for the BMW Z1. BMW obviously went a different direction with the design, so GE pretty much gave them away. The Viper made better use of them if you ask me. For your FrankenViper build, I would think you could 3d scan the lenses you have and...- BoondocSaint
