Hey guys, I own 2-02 vipers from birth, love them , but I am looking at buying a srx to play with,(run wot on the lake)what was the best year made, without crank problems etc. I don't really want to modify it , but am looking for the most reliable ,highest stock h.p., out of all the years made, all comments welcome !
thanks,

2000 to 2002 are the best years to get.The 00 and 01 are about the same with minor jetting diffences.The 02 has dcs which some people want,some dont.98-99 were down a bit on power compared to the newer ones,they also had crank problems.
01. Buy it and drive it. Stock jetting is spot on and no DCS headaches.

I just bought an 01' after much much reading......get the 01 for sure. I decided against the 02 b/c of DCS stories I read about.

Ive had all three(00,01,02).You cant go wrong with any of these three.I never had trouble with my dcs.It does what its suppose to do.On real long wot runs,cold days it will flash and retard the timing if it needs to.If you get the 00 just jet it to the 01 specs.

'00 to '02....i like the '01's and '02's with the silver on blue, if '02 just jet it
to '01 spec and love the DCS to cover your a$$,always always premium

Its been awhile but i think you have to change both pilots/mains.

i guess its a much better set up for stock i guess

Dave, just swap out the mains, you already have 42.5 pilots stock(richer), the mains were just a tad lean on the 2000 and they had some engine failures from it when it was cold out. They went back to the 2000 jetting in the 2002 but had the protection of the DCS..

so going richer on my mains is better than my stock 2000 that are leaner ,i guess its better set up or just safer
