1000 to Burn

[SlowPoke McGee]

You have a stock Gen 1/2 Dodge Viper. Aunt Gertrude passed away and left you $1000 in her will but insisted it goes towards your passion. What do you buy for the Viper? Or do you put it towards something else?????

[dave6666]

$1K for car hobby parts? LMAO that's punk money. So yeah it goes toward beer.

[SlowPoke McGee]

Wish list:
Front and rear bushings
HF cats
Borla cat back
New Oxygen sensors (debatable but car is over 60,000 miles and pre 96)
Car mats
12 pack of Coors Light

[M5toViper]

Loads of oil and filters

Sounds like you intend to put some actual miles on your car. That’s blasphemy in many garage queen circles.

You still have to change the oil. Or buy something for the garage

You drive a Viper......but your beer of choice is more along what the Vette crowd would consume. Coors light ? My dog voids her blatter with a higher quality fluid.

Otherwise your list is ok

3.73 rear gears, ask me how I know.....................

I take the high road and put the $1000 in Aunt Gertude's coffin so she can buy some internet time up in the sleepy zone and learn about the Viper tax.

I just paid $1150 for BC coilovers, money well spent.

I bought 3.73 last year but still haven’t put them in. I really need to make this a higher priority



MartyB, good to know regarding BC coil overs. Those weren’t on my radar

[My98RT10]

A couple of door hinges before they become unavailable

[uvbnbit]

buy 2 windshields.. (if you can find them)

[Bill W]

It's October and you're in Canada. The answer is obvious: snow tires!

[MD355]

That's good money for gasoline !!! Drive down your favorite road or even better take a road trip !!!

Not a ton of good beer for that either...

Gas Card?

Hell yes! I LOVE mine!

Tires or Track time at your local road course.

[My98RT10]

Or ONE gen2 cam sensor...

[City]

Perhaps you could take the first $115 and join the VOA? Sheesh.

^^^^^^ +1

[Bill W]

^^^^^^ +2
And maybe some silicone hoses and clamps for the cooling system...heater hoses too.

[dave6666]

Or ONE gen2 cam sensor...

You can get 10 of them for that.

[SlowPoke McGee]

Some interesting responses thus far. A $115 VOA membership seems to be leading consensus. BC coil overs showing some enthusiastic support. Gas and beer also running neck and neck. Decisions decisions...
To be honest imho the best bang for buck response would be the 3.73 gears. I think that’s gotta be at least worth a top 3 contender status in best upgrade for $1000 or under
