    What did you do to your viper today?

    Changed some AC line O rings. Tomorrow I'll check the system. If all looks good, then I'll recharge my AC.

    1997 Dodge Viper GTS 10k Miles For Sale Venice Florida

    I think the point Viper Specialty is making is that few Vipers have appreciated over the years. Most are at or well below MSRP for a hand built, iconic, low production sports car. These cars are only worth what someone is willing to pay, and our community genuinely does their best to keep these...

    New to the Viper forums, looking to knock on this guys door and give him a offer for this 8 year yard ridden gen 2

    Thanks for the update. Hopefully the guy follows through and gets it into the shop. Hurts my soul to watch cars needlessly fall into disrepair. If I had a dollar for every car I have seen falling apart with the "I'm going to fix/restore that car" excuse...well I would have taken those dollars a...

    Tapping noise

    You have a Calvo car, problem solved. Good problem to have =) Have you been able to get a friend to help you out? Easier to isolate tricky noises when you replicate the situation with another persons ears and eyes from a different vantage point.

    The Quest for 275 MPH

    Thx for the update, and another great looking Viper. One of these days I'll get out to a runway to see what kind of time I can throw down, and to have an absolute blast. Are you planning any testing/shake down events before the October run?

    New to the Viper forums, looking to knock on this guys door and give him a offer for this 8 year yard ridden gen 2

    These cars are definitely for the love of ownership more than the financial sense in most instances. The Viper is a contender for restoration assuming you get it at the right price, and can do the work yourself. Many parts are still very available and affordable, but other parts will test your...

    Looking for this car!

    https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1997-dodge-viper-11/ Forgot these were that rare. Here is a second one that sold on B.A.T. a while back. That's at least 2 out of your 7 so far.

    Looking for this car!

    Tough one with no VIN, but the gold wasn't that common. Couldn't hurt to flip through VIN Wiki with a Viper search. If you're lucky it has a documented history, if not...these cars move around a lot. If you have access to old docs like registration, insurance, or purchase/sale paperwork that'd...

    99 RT/10 power steering reservoir cap

    As others have mentioned, I highly recommend DIY'n or purchasing a vent hose for the cap. You can route the hose in a way that locks the cap in place. I had some steel braided fuel line laying around that worked great. Always thought it was strange that Vipers had that many storries of losing...

    Tapping noise

    Have you been able to listen further back towards the clutch? Maybe the throwout bearing is on it's way out, or any number of worn or damaged clutch components.

    speedometer calibration box instructions

    It does look very similar to the paperwork that I have for mine...well, the one I haven't gotten around to installing anyway. I'm sure they have had different generations and paperwork over the years.

    Loose harmonic balancer AND crank pulley

    Good looking out, think I might want to take a peek at mine after hearing that.

    Jack points on a gen2 ??

    Not my car, just a pick off of BAT. Jack points have little ovals on them. Sometimes using the frame from the back of the car can give a little better clearance for the jack on lower cars. Plenty of frame locations to ballance the car on jack stands all around.

    Question about coolant change on my 1997 GTS with 16k miles

    IMHO, I'm a fan of changing out fluids, knocking out a tune up and starting fresh for piece of mind. I get lazy about dif and transmission fluid, but I don't find those to be as critical as an oil change, coolant flush, plugs, and wires. Check the overall condition of hoses, belt, and pulleys...

    Ground Clearance 2" Air Lift Kit - trying to find the preCovid $750 kit I posted about ...somewhere

    Not gonna lie GTS Dean, with everything you have put that car through, I am impressed with how good that suspension looks.

    If you go through with it, definitely do a good write up.

    Gen 2 Rear Brake Caliper Adapters for CTSV Camaro SS Rear Calipers

    I have a set of these calipers laying around. I'd grab up some of those brackets if they still make them.

    gen 1 front calipers

    I had to jump through BAT pics, because I didn't realize the RT cars went through more than one caliper change. I was tracking the Viper change to RT caliper in the 92 - 93 cars, guess it went from RT back to Viper in 95.

    gen 1 front calipers

    I believe that change occurred in 93.

    1997 RT/10 Viper for sale in central florida

    With the miles your car has I doubt it would fetch top dollar, but to the right buyer you might be able to do better than $50 for a 97 RT/10. Tough to say with where the market is right now. That strong money people were getting during Covid has mellowed out for the most part.
