Highest mileage on a Viper?

[TomSlick]

This is the most miles I think I've ever seen on A Viper.

Anybody else seen or heard of more miles?

Yep! A good friend of mine and fellow club member who lives in Louisiana has two Vipers (her only vehicles). One is a 2000 GTS with over 80,000 miles and the other is a 2004 SRT-10 with close to 30,000 miles. Both look practically brand new. She's known to many on this message board.

I bet "Two Viper Chuck" has got over 100,000 on his RT now, but Joe117's car has 105K+ miles. Maybe they both will chime in, but it goes to show how reliable our cars really are.

Wow, 72K+ miles and currently the 4th owner looking to sell. (???) With CCW track rims.
Oh, well, here is an opportunity for someone to get into a low (initial) priced GTS.


As for mielage, I have a whopping 9K miles on my RT.

 

[Martin D]

I am close... I have 67k on mine right now. But I am the first owner, and just about everything on the car has been replaced at one time or another.

 

[joe117]

I've got 107k on my 94.

I thought I was the high miles king but I found out that there is at least one with more than mine.
Can't remember who, was it a guy from Alaska?

 

[slaughterj]

Got it beat.

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

Got it beat, easily.

How about over 65k with the original clutch? Been on the drag strip and road course and autocrossed. Raced many times, uhhhhh on those local closed circuits too. Not bad, eh?? John

Are the Vipers not made to last very long? Could you explain?

I have replaced everything because this car is made to race. It makes 650RWHP on just motor and has the NX 300 shot. The motor is a stroker with everything replaced and it continues all through the drivetrain. It is NOT that these cars are not made to last. It is just that I have lightened where I could, and strenghtened everywhere possible.

Oh, I did not read your sig. My apologies.

21000 miles and a 7 year old car here, runs as strong and looks as good as new.

 

[Dave T (BADVENM)]

[Newport Viper]

56,000

HEY MODS!!!

This is a subject that comes up quite often. It would be cool to have a post section of the 75,000 mile club.

The ZR-1 site has a 100,000 club.

Just a thought!!

[Tom F&L GoR]

Maybe the Mods can also resurrect the old surveys - there was one that showed model year vs. odometer. I recall it ended up essentially 85% of Vipers had less than 15,000 miles.

 

[LIVIPER]

Who is the Mod that would do that kind of thing anyway?

 

[tim721]

i just broke 70K this past weekend

 

[ColoradoSnake]

I have a friend with 75000 on his GTS (2000). I thought that was pretty high.

 

[Randy]

69,000 miles on my '95 RT/10, 20,000 miles on my '00 RT/10.

 

[RickV2K]

man o man......and i thought i had some miles on my 2000 RT with 60,000

 

[96-RT10 Supercharged]

I'm new here and had not seen this post, so I had started a new one ... I may have the highest mileage out there at the moment.

I bought mine new, and use it every day. It's a 1996 RT/10 (White, Blue stripes). I currently have 170,000 miles on it and expecting 200k by the end of the year. 99% street driving, with a few Viper days, etc.

I just recently had DC Performance install Supercharger, and a full going over / replacing misc parts. I'm expecting another 100k plus at this point. Thanks Dan ... haha

 

[Josh M]

200k on a viper wow

Congrats on keeping that thing running strong!

I just have one question, who makes the wing on your car?

 

[96-RT10 Supercharged]

I think it was an old Autoform. I know they made my original hardtop. My new hardtop comes in 3 pieces / w hood scoop and fits in the trunk (I think the vendor is Trunktop ... can find them in Viper Magazine)

The Wing is adjustable and I've had it for well over 100k miles.

 

[gstg_96_rt10]

<-- just past 217,000 miles and going strong
