I don't think there's much on them to rust. But I have heard you have to let them warm up for at least 20 minutes before driving them otherwise you run the risk of blowing head gaskets. And the shifter can give you fits going into gear. But I don't care I still want one. I'd be wrenching on it just like my Z when something breaks. Wouldn't bother me one bit.

A friends Diablo has just been in to have it's doors sorted and resprayed. Cost thousands and will need doing again in the future. The steel and ally react and blister the paint apparently.

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

Had GM gone along with Lotus we may have seen LT5 developed to the next stage. |
