    Oil Filter Recommendations

    The 05037836AB is the only filter I have ever used on my 01 GTS. I'm not going to try to out think the engineers. My Viper is worth a 25 dollar filter.

    2001 Viper GTS ~3000 miles

    I own a twin to yours and love the car. These are very difficult to price as they don't pop up very often. They are worth what someone is willing to pay for it. A couple have sold on BAT. With that mileage the range is $60,000 to $110,000.

    My viper conundrum

    I drive my Viper all the time, year round. If you love the car, drive it. I don't leave it anywhere parked unless I can see it. It just makes good sense to have a regular car or truck to take for errands. Life is too short not to enjoy it. Don't save it for the next guy.

    2002 GTS (Yellow) Sells for $100k at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2025

    Nice car. Strong money. BJ is fun to watch but not necessarily an indicator of the real world market. Lots of deep pockets in that crowd and matching egos. Sometimes you get 2 determined bidders going at it and bringing the price well above market value.

    Gen 2 vs. Gen 5 GTS

    Love my Gen 2 GTS, 01 Sapphire. As Dave said, before they built the Gen 5, they asked for input from Viper afficionados. What resonated was a desire to get back to the appearance of the Gen 2 GTS. They came up with a great car. The Gen 5 has more modern features but the Gen 2 is far from a...

    Advice needed - fix or sell as is?

    Fix it, then sell it. Not many who want to buy a non running Viper and have to guess what it will take to fix it. You would be giving it away in a non running condition.

    What’s my car worth

    Probably 60ish give or take a few grand. I do follow the market, BAT and other venues. The prices vary significantly based on year, condition and mileage. $45,000 to $70,000 seems to be the range for non ACR Gen 2 GTS.

    Pennzoil Ultra Euro 5- 40

    When I first bought my 01 GTS about 10 years ago I picked the brain of the late John Hinckley. John was the plant manager during the Gen 2 period and was a highly respected expert in Corvette circles. The factory recommended oil for my Gen 2 was Mobil 1 10W30. John said there was no reason...

    Pretty sad, but predictable.

    Anybody still over on that "other" site? Curious about the activity level since the changes were made?

    What did you do to your Viper today?

    Those cursed sanders take all the fun away Steve. All you can do now is pray for rain to wash it away and then dry before it freezes. We are expecting a slushy mess tonight so I am going to get some driving in today.

    What did you do to your Viper today?

    I drove my 01 Sapphire GTS over 100 miles yesterday here on Cape Cod. The roads are clear and dry, so why let the calendar spoil things.

    Maybe selling car

    If you really like the car, nothing wrong with driving alone. I would either keep it and drive it by myself or put a price on it and sell it.
