I was looking around, and saw that you can get a Viper with under 20k mi for about 25K
This sounds like a great deal, especially since you can get 600, 800, or even 1000 hp out of them, with turbo kits
Vipers are cool enough as they are, but driving a 800hp beast sounds wonderful

what year viper is best for turbocharging? I heard that some year's motors are better for this than others.
anyone have info on this?

I'd like to get a used Viper, and drive it around. Then, if I feel that I need something as fast as my bike, I would like to have the option of FI.

I love my S2000, and plan to keep it forever, but it just lacks the torque. Driving it after riding a bike is less than fun. Ideally, I want to have a car that pulls comparably to a bike (yeah, impossible... i know)

so what year Viper?

Thanks!

what version, MY are you finding for $20k?

Viper prices have crashed as of late. I was looking at some of the auction prices and I was tempted to pick one up as a weekend toy.

I wouldn't want to mess with a turbo on one though. I drove a lightly modded one on 3xx drag radials and it was pretty sketchy. I can't imagine what would all go into getting a turbo one to hook up. I think that motor can take a 200shot of nitrous.. Why not save some $$$ and go that route?

think it was 1999 with forged internal

Check on the Viper boards. Somewhere between '96 and '99 or something have better internals for forced induction.

So wait, is the OP right? I am not even going to pretend to know about Viper prices, but $25k for any V10 with under 20k miles is crazy talk to me. You can't even get an 03 Cobra, or barely a stock Evo 8 for that with those miles.

EDIT:
No Shit!

That's what you think!

This seems like a bad idea. A 1000HP Viper would be almost impossible to drive (safely) on the streets. If you want that kind of performance go out and get yourself a 1000cc sportbike.

I was under the impression the 98-01 viper GTS had forged internals or somewhere around those years.

Did you even drive a stock Viper yet?
You think it's fun driving around town in a 1000HP Viper, eh?
Not to be disrespectful, but that much power + RWD + no traction control = recipe for disaster.

In my humble opinion, those 1000 HP vipers are just a dyno queen.
For me, 500 HP is enough to get me killed.
