    Any dodge viper owners here???

    Debating on a First Gen (best looking vipers imo) and was wondering if anyone else on here had any good (or bad) word to share

    oh and of course, feel free to share your personal pics

      had a red 98 gts I bought new that year.. powerful is an understatement.. watch out for the back sliding out if you gas it too hard.. great ride.. not too many on the road, but get a 2nd car or keep what you have if you get one.. you wont want to drive it everyday.. well, you might want to but...

        Sorry never owned a Viper, but the old Viper GTS is the sexiest car on this planet hands down. Voluptuous!

        Did you know the body was made from old canoo's (lol jk, that's what Top Gear said, but it does look like it)?

                    Never owned one but I remember the impact it made on the market when it first appeared. Damn beautiful car!

                      I am not sure of the exact years but I think the 99-01's came with forged internals. I know a few people that have had them but they're bad ass cars.

                            Indeed the Gts first gen are one of thee sexiest cars still to this day, almost 20 years later, crazy....

                            My problem is whether I should get the convertible or the gts model, such a tough call.

                            Thanks for all the info.

                              Let me just say this first off, I am a mopar girl and love mopar power, we have a Dodge Challenger SRT8 and a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8...however, I would never own a viper. the ride is crap, the interior is spartan to say the least, handling is total shit on them, they are pretty much only good in a straight line, and even then, you are lucky if you can keep it going straight. I would much rather see the SRT10 engine in the Challenger, or in the new upcoming Cuda edition. Most likely, you'd be just as happy with something with the new 6.4L Hemi that's coming in new mopars.

                              Just my 2cents.

                                  I was in one on the track a while back, handled like shit but had brute power.

                                    Understand the "ride of the vehicle" may be crap and only good for a straight line, although I doubt your "Dodge Challenger SRT8 and a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8" could keep up on any curve or straight line lol and please tell me a muscle car of those years that had a "good ride"

                                    Good thing the one I am interested in, the suspension has already been dealt with, with aftermarket suspension..

                                    A car like itself doesnt need fancy interior, especially when your speeding pass an old lady, in her new glamourized Dodge Challenger srt8 (joke)

                                      We had a great turnout of Vipers at our last " Cars & Cafe " and of course I got a few pics of them.

                                      You guys can decide which one is the best

                                      Here's just a few including one with a $20,000 paint job.

                                        The clownshoe gen was such a unique and badass looking car...

                                        Personally I always loved how the Viper has stuck true to it's "no pussies allowed" policy, with no power steering, breaking, or stability features

                                            Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                            think about that

                                                        I will say that the Zagato roof is an exceptionally cool touch.

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

I owned 2 of them and they were problematic to say the least. I know they made improvements with the later generations. But those first gens was a waste of money

                                                                                      It is reliable, loads of power, but hella bad on gas. Either way, it is a lot of fun to drive and never any problems with it.

                                                                                          Here's pics of my personal Viper:

                                                                                          I'd sell you mine, if you're interested -- I want to get a black one instead.

                                                                                            Don't go near first gen vipers. They have bondo'd hoods from the factory Also, if you need parts, they are astronomically expensive. They also have inconsistent gaps between panels and are just generally the shitty 1980's daewoo of the viper.

                                                                                            The new vipers aren't really vipers. At least not in spirit. As the first few gens looked like a viper. The new ones don't conjure images of a snake at all. They just look like a sleek (albeit really heavy) sports car.

                                                                                            Don't expect much soundwise from their v10's. A v10 can sound absolutely incredible, just not the truck engines that powered the vipers. Basically, they sound terrible and don't make you think of a sports car when you hear one. They do make lots of torque, though. They will also rape your wallet if you enjoy them the way they were built to be enjoyed, because they will eat rear tires all day long. And their rear tires are HUGE.

                                                                                            Ignore the new ones, try to find one from like 1999 or 2000. New ones are for people who don't understand what the viper was all about. They got rid of the rawness of the sports car experience and replaced it with something your wife can drive. Interestingly enough, I've only ever seen women driving the new ones.

I would much rather see the SRT10 engine in the Challenger, or in the new upcoming Cuda edition. Most likely, you'd be just as happy with something with the new 6.4L Hemi that's coming in new mopars.

                                                                                                I will never forget pulling into that alley and seeing two of them sitting outside his garage. Each car was worth as much as any two of the duplexes around there.
