Has anyone here owns/had or knows anything about the Viper. I'm interested in a 1997 GTS Gen 2 model. Any info regarding issues, problems etc. just interested. Thanks in advance. |

As RPL said, the VOA can provide loads of info. I have a 2001 RT/10. I've had no issues after 20k miles. Thing to look for.... Cracked center console (near elbow) - common problem Thats about it other than this recall, check to see if it has been done DaimlerChrysler Has Recalled the 1996-1999 Dodge Viper Cheers! |

...depends on what you are looking for...my son in law had a 97 GTS many years ago, he took home the top eliminator trophy at the MOPAR Nats, he sent "Sir Hiss" home on a trailer |

OMG Dave .... overlooking the single biggest question now since you mentioned the convincing of the wifey aspect .... What color combo is it, and how many shoes/purses/jackets can you buy for your gal that match or compliment it??! Drove a guy heres 96 blue/white 96 GTS coupe ... as all have said .... wicked fast - NOTHING like Prowler. Down right MORE dangerous than a Vette. Also was very fortunate to drive one of TUIB's 'special' Vipers a long while back ... I was VERY grateful it began to drizzle as we headed straight back to the warehouse without the "opportunity" to get into trouble on the street!! |

Well, I'm stepping in the right direction. The wife saw a pair of boots today, so naturally I bought them. Small steps....small steps! |

Hi Dave, sorry for the late reply I have only just seen the thread. My best mate has a Gen 2 GTS, I have spent many hours in it around tracks in the UK, Germany and France with the UK Viper Club. Great cars as mechanically simple but can be a handful if not respected. Alternator pulleys come off so there is a mod for an ally one, most change shifter to a short throw to improve gear change, if tracking you should put baffles in the sump but if you just want one for road use they are robust. I can arrange for you meet up with my mate if you are interested or I also know some of the Viper owners nearer to you in London if you want. All the best. Nick. |
