I hate to direct you there but the morgue has a lot of info on this. viperclub.org

Nice car you got there, post some pics. I am working on a 71 Challenger RT with a 440 4bbl and a 70 Challenger street car which is getting a 528 Indy heads hemi implant and complete suspension and brake upgrade and a 6 speed.

My unbiased opinion:

99 is the best! Duh!

Mark

[LETHAL GTS]

2000 Black GTS is the best!

[Kryp2nitE]

are there pro's and cons to each year or.....?

[Silver Snake]

Seriously, a lot of people like the 99. I chose the 99 because it has all the interior updates of the new Vipers plus it has the forged pistons of the old Vipers. The only thing it doesn't have is the ABS. That was not important to me. Also, the 00 would be my last choice. No ABS no forged pistons. Some colors are only available on certain years.

So, what do you want? Color, ABS, forged pistons....?

definatly looking for blue with white stripes

would like the forged pistons, dont care about interior or ABS

a 96 GTS would be amazing but i think i like something other than a coupe for a change

if im reading this right a 98 RT/10 could be had in this color combo?

any big cons powertrain wise with going RT/10 instead of GTS?

[SupremeSCViper]

Only Blue and White ANYTHING you're gonna get is 96/97. And...if you manage to find a NICE 97 Blue and White RT/10, dig deep! Only 53 of them made. NO B/W RT/10s in 96.

[Kryp2nitE]

i guess im confused on how to read the chart then...

whats the difference in drivetrain between 97 RT/10 and GTS?

[Silver Snake]

According to the chart there IS B/W RT/10 available in 1998. Not 100% sure though. The drivetrain is the same in both RT/10 and GTS within any given year.

looks like ive got quite the search ahead of me

what the main difference between RT/10 and GTS and ACR? suspension/int/ext?

[vipergts2000]

This Viper is getting wrecked.........Another one down I can see it already.

[Kryp2nitE]

havent wrecked a car yet and not lookin to start anytime soon......

i'd rather ask with the intention of learning new stuff instead of guessing and geting flamed for providing wrong info
