How well do Vipers handle mileage?

[V8 ETE]

I was just wondering as my Viper arrives Thursday 21000 miles on a 97, is this low average or high, also on a 97 what is the highest mileage 97 in the club and what problems if any have been encountered?


thx

Nothing thats nothing one guy bought his car with I think 100,000 on the clock it had had a clutch and I think a gearbox rebuild as it was a bit noisey.

he travels to Prauge quite a lot and his car has never missed a beat.

Its nice to hear from you Nad,hope you and the beast is well !,This part of N.Z badly needs a 1/4 drag strip ,would like to build one and this maybe a future project ....Its my Mission for the New Zealand people....I knew my destany had brought me here for a reason.Just heard the ships delayed and Venom won,t be with us for a few more days.
