Hello From England :England:
This website is a good place to start http://www.theviperregistry.com/build.php
It will give you production numbers, how to read a VIN Number (and what it means), there is also MDH (Month , Day. Hour) sticker found on the drivers door, also specifications , year by year.
Not sure just how green you are to Vipers but the Term RT/10 Refers to the removal roof car and GTS (Grand Touring Sport) refers to the fast back coupe.
The GTS Was introduced in 1996 and comes with a rear exit exhaust. The Alternator was moved to the right hand side of the engine on Gen II Vipers and instead of twin throttle cables (Gen 1 Cars) they introduced a single throttle cable with a connecting bar between the throttle bodys.
Early Gen II Vipers came with 17″ Wheels then in 1999 the 18″ wheel was introduced.
Various interior changes too, early Gen II Vipers came with a smooth black plastic dash then later they introduced a textured pattern on the dash.
1996 to 1999 came with Forged internals in the Engines, 2000 – 2002 Cam and Pistons changed.
ABS Braking introduced in 2001
Red cars tend to be faster than others 😀 😀
Let the research begin 🙂 If you do find a car, Check for recalls, get a Carfax and Im sure if you ask some local viper members to help you check out the car they will help.
