I friend is looking into this car. I noticed that it has the water, oil fuel etc. reading in metric. Looks like an export viper.. is the power the same on these?

The speedometer is not correct. It should read in KM/H. (as the odometer) The power is the same.

Look at the pic with the close up on the temp and oil presure gages...

I used my super detective skills and found this:

It seems to have that ultra-rare automatic transmission as well.

I would change the speedo if it read KM/H. All the speed limit signs I have ever seen are in MPH. Plus it's not like it is a "low miles" car.

Also, what is wrong with it being a Florida car?

Florida is known as being one of the worst states when it comes to "washed titles", the body lines all look fine on this car but with it being a dealer selling the car for 44K you know he got it for 40K at the most.. so why so cheap? The reason I think this car is one to avoid is because it came from Canada where our used Viper market is really stong when compared to equal cars in the states. Gen 1 RT/10's are selling for 47-55K here which is high 30's to high 40's US given today's exchange rates, that's about 7-10K over the US market and gen 2's are getting mid 60's to high 70's, at least 10K over US market! This seller of this GTS is a dealer, there is a good chance this car was purchased with light to moderate damage cheap at a dealer auction and fixed.


Yes it is high miles but what kind of idiot can't read a speedo in KM/H especially when there are MPH increments on the speedo. It's really not that hard to do the conversion when 100km/h = 60mph. If the speedo had been left alone it would remove a lot of doubt.

Yeah, I agree with you to a point here. I can do the conversion, but if it were my car I would swap the speedo anyway. I don't think anyone else should have swapped it though. You are right, if the original speedo was there, then it would certainly be one less flag.
