Viper Owner
I could not resist getting to the point!
I am the proud owner of new Viper #2 (an 01'RT). I have performed the "normal" upgrades on both Vipers, (smooth tubes, K&N's, cat-back Mopar Street exhaust, Mopar "race Controller"), and am considering more goodies. The 01' is still in break-in period.
I am concerned about the consequences of more serious mods. I have "chased the dragon" in high-end hi-fi, and have lost a fortune on resale. Some mods are great, others cost a fortune for limited results. I still believe that Tiger Woods would kick 99% of our butts with a 40 year old set of golf clubs. We crave horsepower and volume, but we are not necessarily better drivers. How many of you other owners have done mods and regretted them? What are the mods you regret, why?
I can do extreme mods, but even new headers concern me because there is always a consequence; maybe paint discoloration, high temperature in the cockpit, failure of other parts, etc. I would appreciate the feedback. Headers seem like the next logical upgrade. What do I have to lose besides the expense?
Sincerely,
Jim
