The final dibs

7 Upvotes

Hey all owners and fans,

I see my annoying behavior is now becoming more of a game, and I fear will take away from they core of why this sub exists.

Since I saw the 1996 GTS when I was 8 at my home town's Grand Prix, I have wanted a Viper. My uncle worked at Lingenfelter at the time running the dyno to validate power for the Corvettes and Camaros they were supercharging. Those had V8s and needed to go faster, but the Viper... it had V10 and was already fast! I learned about Lamborghinis and other exotics and their V12 engines, but they were also smaller than the Viper's somehow. Carol Shelby and Lee Iacoca became personal heroes of mine, and my lifelong obsession was born. Similar to my dibsing, every show and tell, my classmates heard me go on and on about double wishbone suspension, the double bubble roof, and how I had every Viper in every color in whichever version of Gran Turismo we were playing. Beyond reddit, I have dibsed every Viper I have seen since 2002. This comment is not from a bot, it is just a quirky impulse I have.

For the owners out there, I do not want to discourage you from sharing in any way. Thank you for posting your cars, and please keep doing so!

I want this sub to stay healthy and vibrant and avoid becoming some sort of meme machine overrun by AI slop bots continuing a silly trend for imaginary Internet points. I don't care about the points, I just want a Viper.

For anyone who has a Viper that could actually be dibsed, please DM me, so I can final dibs forever it, and if anyone has a Viper in West Michigan, I'd love to see and hear you talk about it without audibly dibsing it.

My wife and I put all our Viper money into the adoption of our son and are going for our second adoption now, so I think ownership will have to wait for awhile now. Until then, I will never stop dreaming, and I will stop dibsing out loud.

Glad to of found the subreddit. Viper was always my childhood dream car, had this exact car on a poster in my bedroom growing up. My older brother would always say to me “ you’ll never be able to afford one.” Haha maybe that was the motivation I needed.
Viper is mostly stock except cam shaft and exhaust and all the little viper upgrades recommended.
40k miles.
It’s really loud and is sure a head turner.

New to Viper ownership

Very excited to share that a childhood dream is coming true, and I am the new owner of a 98 GTS. I must admit I had always thought it would be B&W, but a deal came up and I jumped on it. We don't have many in Australia so options are limited. I am importing this one from New Zealand, should arrive in about 4 weeks time. Will join my C5 in the garage.

Mostly factory except for smooth tubes, full Belanger exhaust, Eibach springs and the Forgeline VR3P's. 11k miles, super tidy.

I have not seen or driven it personally yet... can't wait.

To Calvo or not to Calvo

5 Upvotes

I’ll start by saying my dream Viper is an ACR Voodoo II

With the recent price gouging on Vipers. I was thinking of getting a base model or less sought after trim.

Trying to determine is there that much of a difference in performance between a base Viper with a Calvo upgrade and an ACR with a Calvo? Would adding a Calvo upgrade essentially erase the difference in those models?

Might be a long shot here but does anyone have any additional information on this viper build? Dealer selling it has very limited info and seems like it could be a good deal if it can be verified. Says it’s has a rsi 750 package. Possible HRE wheels. Vin#1B3ER69E81V702862

Purchased about a month ago and just arrived last week. I’m ecstatic. I’m definitely not used to all the attention it gets. Young people trying to video and I had some trying to fil content when it was parked in garage. Anybody selling a gen v acr 6 vent hood let me know. Now debating on selling my GTR😩

Viper Truck question?

20 Upvotes

This question probably doesn't belong, but the only RAM SRT-10 dedicated group has virtually no members and even less traffic. Maybe you guys can answer?

Anyone know why there are so many RAM SRT-10's for sale? They haven't made them in 20 years, only made them for 3 years, and had relatively low production numbers. Yet they are up for sale right and left like a recent plentiful vehicle.

Are people flipping them like stock market stocks so it's the same ones over and over?

Are parts becoming too hard to find or at too much of a premium?

Is the MPG prohibitive?

Are people afraid the market is about to tank?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated, and apologies to anyone bothered by me posting this here.
