how different is the 08 from the gen2?_-what do you miss about the 01--I am a little torn at the moment between an 01-02 gts and an 08

Awesome color, and the wheels are nice. Enjoy it and be careful with it. Make sure its pointed straight when you step on the pedal.

Thanks guys. I really like the site so far:2tu: I know what you mean about pointing it straight before you kick it! This car is a beast:drive: I just wish that it did not wheel hop so bad. I mean a wheel hop at 70 mph is crazy!! :dunno:

Sorry, didn't see your post until now. The 08 and Gen2s are very different. The Gen4 Vipers are better in just about every way; power, brakes, comfort, handling, options... but I grew up wanting a Gen1/Gen2 Viper. In my opinion I think the Gen2s look a little better. I miss it because of that, but also because it was my first Viper and I had wanted one since I was a kid.
