    Plugs and wires

    Hi there! I have a 97 GTS and having done my homeworks, I came to the fact that the OEM wires have an 18 years lifetime. Do the maths... I purchased a complete set of Quality Wires for my GTS and couldn't be more happy with them. These are numbered for easy fitting. You can have them in red or...

    High flow cats vs other exhaust input

    Hi there! As suggested here already, if you can pass emissions in your state, just get rid of the cats. If not, then just slap high flow cats on. You'll get a way better sound (less restrictive than stock) and will still be able to pass emissions. For the temperature.. Hmm.. High flow cats will...

    96 GTS Handling Issues

    Hi there, I have a 97 GTS in pristine condition (12k miles) and my 2 cents is the "rubber bushings" might be the culprits there. Their lifespan is about 18y. Had mine replaced (just like that, because they were passed their lifespan and just showing very light cracks) by Polyurethan bushings...

    2017 Dodge Viper GTS f/s

    Real nice ride in a special color combo! How's it possible you put (only) 3.700 miles on it in 5 years?! Is your price "open to reasonable discussion?"

    Radar Detectors & Laser Jammers

    You won't believe it... But the best solution to your problem is to drive carefully. If you wanna push it, then know the road, time and conditions to be met for your "push". Police finding you with a Jammer or Laser might go from heavy fines to jail time... Not sure it is worth it. I...

    Mecum strong numbers on Vipers

    Correcto Mundo! Market is undergoing a little correction. It is a little correction, due to inflation and the energy "crisis". Liquidity is finding some other ways right now. Though in the mid-long run (5-10 years) our (normal) Vipers will move some serious figures, maybe even stronger than any...

    Gen 2 Exhaust Options

    Very good remark. The GTS is in its own league, however the sound is.. Hmm.. Inexistant. Borla ? Corsa? Sure they're good, depending on what you want. First step would be to get rid of the muffler. That's 80% of the way to a nice sound for the least amount of time and bucks possible. Wanna get a...

    Installing a Hellcat Engine into a Dodge Viper

    I also can't say that I fully agree with the idea... But let's say that at least there are 2 things I dig right there: 1. We stay in the "family" (DODGE) 2. At least it is not an EV conversion (this would really hurt..)

    1st Time Gen II buyer advice with some questions

    Hi SGViper, First of all, chasing for a GTS Viper, you can't really go wrong is you follow a few "hunting principles". Among them: - clear CARFAX history (service) and NO accidents! - confirmed mileage (CARFAX or service) - 2 to 3 owners max (it is just me recommending) - no modifications (****...

    Need help with cigarette lighter issue

    Try changing the fuse, even if "not needed".. It might be blown in a way that isn't obvious. I've had the same issue on my 97' GTS

    Please tell me about the engine head cover of Gen1.

    Wau! If it wasn't for your question, I would never have known that some manifolds were produced with 4 lines!! Amazing piece of information

    Viper gen V prices

    Congratulations on your Gen2 gts! I'm sure you will enjoy it. It's a great machine. As for the value. You might be surprised that your gts Gen2 might actually have more "potential" than a genV. What I mean by that is that Gen5 might stabilize in value already, as the gen1 and 2 might...

    Fresh owner.. Fresh rubber

    Hello to all Viper owners out there! It's been less than a year now with my 97' GTS and I'm as happy as can be. Just my baby would appreciate new rubber (front AND rear). Dimensions : 275/40R17 335/35R17 Anybody can help with this? I'm over in Europe and I'd love to know what you guys can...

    Paint Scheme Opinions?

    Hi, Quite an "interesting" thing you got there! In my opinion, it is so deep into "personalisation territory" that you might find someone already tomorrow or just wait for the next 715 years to find a new owner... If you really like the car (mileage, handling, possible mods apart from airbrush...

    Gasoline pressure control valve

    Hello guys, I went with the delay timer (ELK 960) solution. It "kinda" works, which means it start from scratch, but provided you get a good 5 to 6 seconds fuel primering time. Why I have chosen this option? Simply to avoid disassembling half of the car... I would recommend the technical...

    Wheel Alignment Pricing

    I couldn't agree more with you on your remark concerning the "Viper Tax". As if Viper owners were billionaires :eek:

    Wheel Alignment Pricing

    Hello all, That's something I will do over here in Europe (Slovakia to be precise) in a few days, and my good guess is I'll be good for about 50 Euros (about 60 Dollars) and maybe 2 hours at most. I'll keep you posted. But in any case, the 3 figures I read from you guys (in America) for the job...

    RSI spark plug wires

    Hello there, I honestly don't know the RSI brand you mentioned, but have replaced the original wires (24 years old) on my GTS with the Quality Wires and am very satisfied with all aspects / functionalities they present. I would definitely recommend them to you as a an excellent pick. Regards...

    Viper values going up

    Totally agree with you on this one MoparMap.. Though I'll keep gushing over Gen2s in general and on GTS in particular ;) I'm a "biased owner" that's right :usa2:
