    Gen V wheels on a Gen II RT / GTS: anyone photoshop this?

    The Gen V front wheels are 18 x 10.5 as opposed to 18 x 10. The width of the tire jumps from 275 to 295. What are the odds the Gen V wheels simply bolt up to the GTS? Many people put 19 x 13 with 345 width tires on the GTS. The new car is 19 x 13 with a 355. Fairly good chance that will fit...

    Stripes??

    I'd go for an exposed carbon fiber stripe on a red or yellow car but I'd probably stay monotone if that doesn't end up being an option. The new car does look a little more Euro so striping isn't as essential as with the earlier cars. My GTS doesn't have a stripe either but mine is Saphire Blue...

    Wheel pics from the Gala

    18 x 10.5 up front and 19 x 13 rear. It's on the drivesrt web site under specs. 295 and 355 widths. I have HREs 19 x 10 and 19 x 13. Conceivably I could use them on the new car although what are the odds the offsets still work?

    Gen V Debut Compared to the Gen III Debut ?

    Disclaimer: I am a GTS or Gen II owner and I was definitely classified as a hater on the Gen III when it was revealed. I'm going to buy a Gen V. In a lot of ways the return to the GTS styling at least in my opinion validates what I was saying in January of 2001 when they debuted the Gen III...

    7 min Hi Res video of 2013 Viper GTS running on the street. Ignition sounds at 4:00

    Re: 7 min Hi Res video of 2013 Viper GTS running on the street. Ignition sounds at 4: well the target buyer wants his cell phone over the factory blue tooth to be quiet. I'm making fun of myself a little bit here. It's not perfect. I don't have a retort for those who say the front looks like...

    Recommendations on new tires anyone?...

    I just had Super Sports put on my GTS on Thursday. It's like I got a new car. 345/30/19 in the rear and 275/30/19 in the front. The treadwear is 300. My old tires passed the quarter test but I guess they had been heat cycled too many times. They were PS2's. Absolutely no comparison. I buy...

    selling my '99 gts for $29k

    I'm not looking to sell but a thought occurred to me. I have a 2001 Saphire Blue(no stripes) GTS with 67,000 miles. It was in an accident back in 2005. It did take 2 years to get every last thing resolved(Custom Car Crafters in Austin who sucks tried to fix it and failed. Berli who is the...

    hre 546s wheels

    I have a set of 546's on my Saphire GTS. My rims are the regular aluminum color. Pictures for whatever reason do not do justice to how bad ass those rims are on the cars. They are also lighter even in 19's and it's noticeable driving. If you are having any thoughts and like black, I would do it.

    harmonic balancer / crank problem

    Chris from ART diagnosed a squeaking belt as a crank separating from the harmonic balancer. The bolt was barely holding the pulley to the crank and after tightening there is still significant fore and aft movement of the pulley. He thinks I need a new crank which means major surgery. Before...

    Are stoptechs worth it for the street

    I was just guessing $1000. I'm looking at the price of stoptech minus the price of factory replacement rotors and pads. Whatever that is. If people say there is no benefit on the street(I do routinely go over 100 MPH. I live in Texas. They let us get away with that) I won't bother. I have...

    Are stoptechs worth it for the street

    I drive on average 8000 miles on the street. I have 50,000 miles on my 01 GTS. It will need rotors and pads at it's next oil change in 3000 miles. Given that's $1000 in parts and I can get a couple hundred for my factory calipers is it worth upgrading to the Stoptech 4 wheel brake kit for 99%...

    Why wasn't black color option available in 2001 & 2002?

    Suggestions for a SubWoofer for my stereo system

    I have a footwell sub with a 10" JL Audio sub in my GTS. It sounds great it and it really doesn't take much legroom, probably 6 inches and the metal grille provides a nice foot brace. Only adds 20lbs. The sonic advantage is that bass while omni-directional still sounds best coming from in...
