There's lot's of other car's parts on the Viper. Check the forum past history. If DCX had to come up with all original pieces the car would have cost twice as much. Or half as much profit...

That is funny but not shocking. Seen that so much. Even on $275K Diablo 6.0's they have Nissan Lights.

Gerald, that hurt......
No, actually it the wheel studs. found them for 98¢ each at advanced auto, or you can buy the factory parts for around $9 each at dodge. They are the same wheel studs used on mustangs..... |
