Today I bought a 1997 Viper GTS. How dumb was I?pic rel
No you didn't lol. Need proof.
>>28118044Cool if true. 96 GTS here.Have the typical problems/recalls been taken care of?
>>28118044bread in the trunk
>>28118061I have no clue kek. The snek is an absolute rarity here in Germany. It wasn't registered since 2016 and it was originally sold here as a Chrysler Viper, so I don't think official recalls ever got to the buyers.According to the car's legal papers, it's top speed is 320 km/h, 200 mph, which sounds a bit too high for me. Have you ever tried reaching top speed? I have to wait to march or april 2025 as we've already got snow before I can do a little Autobahn run.>>28118073wat
>>28118096>Viper in Germany Based. There are gonna be a lot of asshurt cucks when you roll by.
>>28118096he's saying prove it goober
>>28118098A lot of commies are going to shit their pants and beg for more vaccines
>>28118096Nah, I've never pushed it anywhere near top speed. I can tell you that the 6th gear is still completely useless at 120km/h highway speeds though lol.Most of the comon problems are related to the power steering pump; the plastic pulley will disintegrate because of engine heat, so buy an aluminum one. Also the potmetal bracket is known to crack and fail, though that's way more rare. And the power steering reservoir cap vents right next to the exhaust manifold and cars have caught fire because of that, so you want to put some kind of metal tube or piece of rubber hose there to route any PS fluid leaking out under the car.
>>28118122Thank you, I will take of that. I also thought about adding a transmission oil cooler because I want to do 150 mph cruising just with my other cars regularly, and I could imagine that the stock transmission will overheat with that. Can you recommend Viper parts stores in the US from which I could import such stuff?
>>28118044>>28118096nice
>>28118044Hell yeah
>>28118159Not sure about the transmission cooler, but I've bought stuff from Viper Store, Viper Parts Depot and RSI Racing Solutions. I also bought a nice vented cowl from Autoform, but their delivery was slow as hell, took like 18 months.Oh, also there's a coolant reservoir hidden inside the front fascia, remember to check that it's full.
>>28118159Not that anon but Prefix is a highly regarded Viper tuning company. Anything they have is probably good to go.
based if true
>>28118044>double brain tumor carnot my cup of tea
>>28118044hell yeahchecked
>>28118044Living my 1997 dream
I'm a stuck up Brit and think most American cars are mongoloid tier, but I have loved these since I was about 8.Come to think of it, all the best American cars have stripes on.
>>28118096>wattake a piece of bread (or the entire loaf)open the trunkput it into the trunktake a photo of it to prove that anon's bread is legit
>>28118044Nice Miata

>>28118044>pic relSeems like you are fine. You had 4 others already
>>28118809lol I wish. The guy I bought it from just has four other Vipers.>>28118688Based doubles. I'll post in about 2-3 weeks. I will have the car transported to me then. Couldn't drive it home right away because I didn't want to drive this car on summer tires through snow for 500 km.>>28118397I had never seen a GTS before in my life. He opened the garage and once I saw it the deal was already sealed lel. It's just a demonstration of power on four wheels. I mean an 8 litres manual V10 in that blue with these goddman white stripes, the massive bonnet, the swing on the rear sides, that spoiler edge at the back, the chrome wheels, FUCK you can only love it.I really hope you will be able to live your 1997 dream too one day.>>28118185>>28118212Thanks, I will look at all of them.
>>28118044Absolutely based, you're okay for a germ
>>28118096You should definitely take a road trip to Norway and let me have a ride in your viper krautbro :DDDDD i will prepare fishing boat and license as compensation
You keep yapping about the snow but there's barely any. Where the fuck do you live, the alps?

>>28119246I'd be curious to know what did you pay for this car. I bought mine in 2018 and prices have been going up since then, especially during Covid.
>>28119265>>28119274>>28119411Lol thanks>>28119568I paid 70000 Euro. It has got slightly below 30000 miles and it's in pretty mint condition overall.
