    When do you plan on selling your Viper? Or are you keeping it forever.

    I thought for sure I would never sell my 95. Nice car, never wrecked, was all there and had a few nice mods. Nice driver for sure. THEN I met the love of my life and moved in to her place due to kids. Went from a newer house with a paved driveway, 3 car garage....to an older house out in the...

    Overall Ride Quality -- Gen I vs Gen II

    Have also had a gen1 and a GTS. From a commoners perspective, they both ride the same. Maybe racers can tell the difference but I cant. There is a bit of seating position difference tho. Maybe its just a feels-like thing but my gen 1 just seems bigger inside. Not much but enough to notice...

    ^ Cool. Got a photo taken a little further back to give a better perspective of where it is?

    Gen 2 Edelbrock headers

    For anyone that cares..I recently put these on my 95. Not much fun to install but they do look nice. Good time to change motor mounts as you are not getting them in without unbolting them. Need to install the heat shields yet. I finished it with Borla sportsman cans. Sounds better than I...

    is an aluminum flywheel worth it?

    I dont claim to know anything about anything. Im not a racer and probably never will be. However...a cr molly flywheel did in fact increase throttle response significantly and made the car more fun to drive. Wait till your clutch goes out to do one.

    Nice work. Would it kill you to wash the wheels?

    Need new tires - anyone use BF Goodrich T/A?

    Have ran kdw's for a couple thousand miles now. Bought them new. They seem like a decent tire and I like the pattern. Price is reasonable. Have nothing negative to say about them When I bought my gen 2 wheels they were on pilots that didnt look that bad. Front grabbed every crack in the road...

    95 RT/10 Radio

    Have 95 RT/10 that someone put in an aftermarket radio (doesnt work)... and want to put something else in. Believe all remaining electrics and wireing is as it should be and would like to keep it that way. Would like to buy a new head unit that plugs to the factory plugs without butchering...

    Somebody explain this "unrefined" bad rap that the Viper has

    I think it depends on what you are comparing the viper to. My other car is a 01 jeep wrangler (the fast one with an inline 4.0) creeping up on 90,000 miles. The viper is a treat in comparison to drive but not having cruise control it gets a bit cramped after a couple hundred miles. Its tough to...

    How do you answer?

    Its one of the things I dont like about this car. Ive let a handfull of people drive it on their own but not many. My girlfriend and a couple close friends. Others I offer to let them drive it with me as a passenger sometime. Its a very real liability, and for what. You dont owe your car to...

    Salvaged Viper... yikes....

    Outfit selling is a great seller. Almost sold me a nice set of rugs for the back of my GTS (high bidder on e-bay for $99) and then a week later called me to tell me he lost them. He refunds my money and then I get an e-mail from e-bay saying they put a claim against me for not paying for the...

    rear suspension not level

    Does anybody have one lowering cap to sell? Id like to try it.

    rear suspension not level

    Ive also got the same problem. Ive been tossing around the idea of installing a lowering cap on the passenger rear. Would this have any ill effects for the casual street driver?

    GTS vs. RT/10 ?????

    I recently had the opportunity to drive each of them for awhile on the same day. 95 RT and an 02GTS. Both lower mileage and never wrecked. Drove the gts for about a 100 miles and the rt for about 40. It was enough. Gts is nice when it rains. Gts is nice when its cold out. Gts has airbags. Gts...

    Anyone have a link on how to rebuild '02 OEM front brake calipers?

    Super easy job. Not much to them. Pistons, o-rings and dust covers. An air compressor helps to get the pistons out. After that its pretty well self explanatory. Good time then to send them out for powdercoating. Dig deep for parts regardless of who or where you get them from.

    would you buy a salvage viper?

    Depends on how much money you have to spend. I wanted a B/W and nothing else. Unfortunatly I didnt have 35 to whatever thousand to buy one. Not today and probably not ever. Found a salvage car for half that money needing some work and I am now driving it daily. In my case, this was my only way I...

    Changed 335's to 275's

    ^ Had some rubbing on full lock in reverse.Ie, backing up out of a tight spot in a parking lot the tire would hit the front torsion bar but it wasnt anything I couldnt live with. For some reason it wouldnt do it going fowards. Driving down the road it drove just like any other car. The deal...

    Changed 335's to 275's

    97 gts. Had 13" wide wheels with 335's all around and switched the fronts to normal sized wheels that would allow me to use 275's. The car drove just fine before and now its really squirely (sp?) with the narrow wheels and tires. Anyways, thinking an allignment will fix this? Do track cars...

    '97 GTS Question

    And its the frigg'n coolest car on the planet. My only advice is to get it on a rack and take a good look at it. Doesnt take a rocket scientist to find crash damage. Not saying its a bad thing but it definetly lowers the value.

    lightweight flywheel

    I am about as fluent with these cars as I am the space shuttle. About 30 seconds behind the wheel made up my mind. 97 gts. I went with a cr molly unit. Probably not as radical of a move as an aluminum unit but still made a noticeble improvement in how quick the motor revs. Have read some...

    B/W w black wheels

    Have a 97 b/w. Scored some later gen 2 18's and thinking of having them coated satin black. Ive searched relentlessly and have yet to find an example of someone else thats done it. Would like to see what it would look like. Anybody have any photos to share?
