You guys remember your first Viper ride?

[BACKNBLACK]

I rememebr mine.Why you ask? Well the nut job that gave me the ride scared the crap out of me.It was 1999 and I was not a big fan of the Viper at all.I guess I was not paying mind because I also was into the Italian cars.Until that one day came up and I spoke to my friend Dave.Dave is a car dealer.Actually some of you in the NY area might know him.He loves his Vipers.Buys and sells them.Enjoys them for a few months and dumps them.I say Dave how come you always buy a Viper and never wanna buy a Ferrari or Lambo to have.He says I'll be back later make sure you wear your pampers.I wa slike yeah ok whatever..Well it was around 9 pm and he calls.I hear the car screaming down the street.I come out and jump in.He looks at me and says we are going in a dead area don't be scared of the speed.I rarely get scared of any car. Oh man..This guy takes me for the ride of my life.Till today when I think about it I get that kid smile.Like a kid in the candy store. I was HOOKED.I have been in Ferraris and Lambos but can't feel that rush. Ahhh the sweet memory of that day.To top it all off he hits the NITROUS.The prck really wanted me to sht in my pants.So thats how I fell in love with this car.I keep saying I might, should I?Sell it?Then I fall back in reality and look around me.Theres nothing that can give me the rush ..that adrenaline of being in a Viper.....

Man you love this site don't you? Well keeping this on track, I do remember the drive. Why? Because I did not know how to drive stick perfectly yet and the dealer took me out in the car. SICK ride!!!! It was a 2002 RT/10 in Red at McDonough Jeep. It was the owners car and he was giving a DEEP discount on the car that was still BRAND new. $10K off!!!!

I convinvced the Stamford, CT Dodge dealer to let me take a test drive. The wife and I took a drive in a GTS bumble bee. After that drive, I spent the rest of that summer (2001) working out the rest of the details. It was SO uniquely BRUTAL that it was hard to resist. That and I could insure it for less than 3G's a year! LOL

The first time I took a ride was when I bought it . Cause I had never seen one in person before . So you can Imagine the excitement when it was delivered . The first time I was able to see one , ride in one or drive one was my own !!!!!!!!!

At the time there was NOTHING on the road that even compared. when i was driving the car people in front of me were pulling off the road to see what was coming up behind them.

 

[BACKNBLACK]

Theres still nothing on the road that compares!! Beautiful ride.Something mean looking about early GEN1'S..You guys still have it? BIG MONEY THAT CAR

 

[SylvanSRT]

i never did own it, see the "MANUFACTURER" plate it was owned by Dodge (a company ) car. From what i was told at the time it was the 20th Viper ever built.

I love those wheels. Everybody seems to dislike the early Gen 1 wheels but I think they look great. That car is just beautiful with the sidepipes etc. Set the Vette boys on their *** and they never recovered.
