New Owner

[Cali Viper]

I just recently purchased a 98 GTS in Northern Cal. 12k miles, Red, Borla exhaust. This is the car I've wanted for quite some time. I thought my 99 Firehawk was fast, but this is something else. You just don't see Vipers too often, which probably explains all the stares I get. As someone mentioned on this site, people who don't know much about Vipers think it's a new exotic.

I think my first major investment is going to be in a driving school. This car is a little tricky for me to get used to around turns. After I master the car in its stock configuration, I'll begin to think about headers and a Roe SC.

welcome to the club. shortly after I got my '01 I got into an SCCA autocross school for a day. We did figure 8's, lateral g skidpad stuff, etc...a great way to try and learn when the backend comes around. Unfortunately, there is little lead time between when it does and driver reaction.

anyway, enjoy your new snake!!
