Nice to grab a hold of your dream car.
I'll bet it will feel like this.

and

As you wait, I am sure you are doing a bit of this

Good Luck and drive her nice, I hear those vipers can bite.

Hawkeye · 12-11-2009, 11:58 AM

Defintiely post some pics when you get it! Those are some beautiful cars... just not as much of a complete racing package from what I have read. Personally I love em though!

anthony @ eas · 12-11-2009, 01:27 PM

Nice! Post tons of pics!

ZStig · 12-11-2009, 04:25 PM

will do will do. I'm parting out my mods. I have the M steering wheel for $290 shipped, and a 16lb odyssey battery for $100 shipped. Oem battery is about 55lbs if not more.

yeah, I know I know. I'm planning to take things slowly until I learn the car. Also planning an upgraded diff in the future, and maybe even racelogic traction control

nothing like driving a viper through a blizzard 1200 miles

WhoU4 · 12-21-2009, 04:50 PM

Wow... Little White Knuckled driving I bet,

looks like you got her home in one piece.

Sweet Looking Ride, Congrats!

ZStig · 12-22-2009, 01:19 AM

I bet you still had a smile on your face the whole way. It was the victory run in your dream car. The car even looks good dirty.

Congrats. She made it home!!

Hawkeye · 12-22-2009, 12:53 PM

Man, 1200 miles in a Viper would be hard enough, let alone in bad conditions!

It does look pretty sexy even when completely dirty though. I'm jealous.

anthony @ eas · 12-22-2009, 01:20 PM

Looks awesome. I thought I had it bad driving a 944 Turbo in a snow storm...

genesis · 12-22-2009, 05:45 PM

Congrats! Those cars a blast to drive....I've owned 2 of them, one a GTS and the other a Daytona edition...You're going to find yourself needing to run a lot more errands...

I don't know how to post pics but these were mine....
