Buddy/Customer of mine has a 96 GTS, Blue w/White stripes, 6000 miles, it's a decent looking car. Has that look the comes to mind when you think of a Viper, sort of timeless, ya' know? He runs it a little on the ¼ mile up here at 2200 FT. altitude, usually more like 3500-4500 corrected, bone stock including tires except for a Hurst short throw shifter, it can/has run 12.6's, hard to be able to compete with that. To be fair though our cars are not ¼ mile terror's, from 660 FT. on...well that's a different story, as you all on here know. I like the fact the exhaust comes out the back on his 96 as opposed to the newer one's that have side exit exhaust. Funny how the new ones have a conventional opening hood too, never understood that dumb rear lift ½ open style
. Actually another Customer of mine has a newer one, 2002/2003...something like that, I can never seem to remember
. Yellow w/Black stripes, Bumble Bee
. These two Viper guys are always surprised at the creature comforts in my Zee's, even my 90! The fellow with the newer Viper doesn't even have power seats & the lumbar control is a black egg you have to pump up manually with your hand...nice
. Again it's a cool car in it's own right, but a little raw.
