I just moved here in October. The Carolinas chapter is headquartered here and appears to be fairly active. Vir is about 80 minutes north. Viper Days runs an event there yrly. The club had an autocross in Sanford (hour south) and participates in a local car show at the fairgrounds in Nov, also they have a karting day at VIR and are having a dyno day shortly. No major car shows like Amelia or Greenwich. Climate is great, lots of open roads, great schools, a growing area. 2 hrs to the beach and about the same to the mountains. Very good local Viper technician at Leith Dodge. All autos must pass inspection and emissions test (with sniffer) Road Atlanta and Roebling Road both about 5 1/2 hrs south. You may want to talk to the local Prez Randy Cade (RCviper) or Janni who have been here longer than I. State income tax 6.5 to 8% depending on your income. Property tax very reasonable. Hope this helps.
The vehicle tax is on a DMV valuation of the vehicles, and is less than the Viper would sell for. Bonus though, no front license plates!
