Viper sold at BJ

[Thawk97]

96' GTS, while they will do okay, they will not be the big collector everyone thinks. Just way too many built that are identical. 97' some are same sans follow through stripes and other small ends. Only 96' GTS to be worth collector money will be first 100 of production which got GTS-R racing blocks from factory.

I didn't know that. I believe my '96 was #30 or so off the line. What's the difference between the GTS-R racing block and the standard factory block used thereafter (and is there a way to confirm by looking at the car)?

Don't know but I think Jon B can answer that one, or Maurice or ????. I heard this from Jim Johnson but was an under his breathe kind of comment. I can't verify it but just passed along what I heard. Can one of you long timers confirm, expand or squash the rumor on this?

I believe DRM is the engine builder that built the engine to 1000HP.

I never heard of a DRM, only DLM as in Doug Levin Motorsports.
