I am new to this forum and vipers I have always driven corvettes and decided to now go with a viper. Can you please help with these questions? I don't now much about vipers other than I love them!

1) 04 SRT silver / black 1660 miles one owner is $46,800 a fair price?

2) Is there any know problems to watch out for in an 04?

3)I have heard stock exhaust holds heat what is the best cat back exhaust and is it easy to change yourself ? I always use borla stingers on the vettes.

4) How is the wind noise on the highway with the roof up and down?

5) Any pointers or ideas on mods does and donts ?

Thank You very much!

All of your questions have been answered on here many many.... many times over. Use the search features and you'll find your answers.
If you want cooler inside temps then taking out the cats or using high flow ones with an exhuast system/headers for power is the way to do it.

Thanks for the info Like I said new to vipers and don't no shit about them.
The good news is I bought it today just have to work out the details with the bank I am in MA the car is in NY. I got it for $52k under 1700 miles I guess I did ok.

When I first spoke to the guy he said $56,800. Told him I would get back to him check kbb was 47,500 wholesale, 51,700 private and 56,200 retail. I offered him $50000 we agreed $52000 was fair.

I think I did alright for one owner 1660 miles.

I do a have a question is the boot that covers the roof when its down an option or did they all come with it?

He said he never got floor mats either? Best place to buy? Ebay?

Lots of wind noise with the cov.and something about the motor not being forged like the 03s.

03 motor wasn't forged. Last year of the forged motors was 99.
