Hello to all Viper drivers and members of this site,
After long a long time thinking to do or not i finely bought a Viper, this was something i really wanted already a long time but what made me hesitate was that in Holland a Viper is really a exotic car and when you drive or park it you get a lot of attention! Than i thought why shout i bother i see to many of this gray hybrid cars on the road… perhaps a real car will give a little extra shine here and there!! On April the 2th i have picktup mine Viper GTS from 1997 with 40.000 km! And today i have made my first big trip with the Viper (from Rotterdam to Meppel and back) about 500km for America not so far for Holland it is across the country! I must say it was quiet a experience! The Viper is totally different car than I have had before (Audi TT, Audi RS4 and a BMW M3) the first thing is that you feel and hear every ting and a lot of vibrations! In the beginning I have driven real carefully be course I was worn for the torque that would available at low speeds! But the car was not driving nice than, so later when I felt more a costumed and sure I did higher speeds in lower gears and than the car is really driving nice! And really powerful …. but in Holland we have a speed limit of 120km (80 miles) this is really a problem but next to us, our neighbors is Germany and there are still roads where you can drive as fast as you can/want..... So soon i will visit our german friends to do a little speeding with the Viper!!
Problems with the Viper till now:
Window wipers work not good (one is to slow so they get stuck in the middle of the screen)
Right door window is not working
Airco is not really cold
And there is a big oil leak be course I have to refill oil and there is a big place with oil under the car after night parking!
And I feel vibrations when I am driving away in the first gear !
So all together a good car…….but the garage where I bought is already ordering the needed parts and they promised to fix all this things!! So I hope they will!! Otherwise I have to spend a lot of time and money to do it myself!
But I still am positive and I like to drive this car!!
Greetings Walter
PS als er nog meer NL Viper eigenaren op deze site actief zijn? Is het misschien leuk om eens een ontmoeting in NL te organiseren??
