:headbang::headbang::headbang: 2014 Race Yellow/Black Stripes/black GTS with 4 Packages( Laguna,Exterior,Interior CF,& Advanced Aero) will be arriving at my Park City home this coming Wednesday. This will be my sixth Viper and 3rd BB. The bad thing is I dont know if I will get a chance to drive it before the snow falls as we usually get a snowfall that sticks before halloween:crazy2: I usually do take my sports car off the road by Oct 31... Its going to be nice to have a true manual again. I want to thank the people on this forum for their feedback on the gen.5. Will miss the scud but I also have a 95 Like new(4K) mile ZR1 coming to my ST. George home to spend the Winter. Anyway I will post some pics when she gets here but you all know what they look like,lol I could not get any pics from the site to enlarge:(

Did you buy the car in Ringgold GA? Mt View dodge. If so I know you got a hell of a deal. Car windowed for like $144 K or so and they priced me $84 K with my $15 K voucher.

We have almost identical cars--you will love it--both to drive it and to just admire its lines! The Y/B and CF really set off the lines of the car.

I tried for a long time and I was tired of dealing with wannabees. I got close to what I wanted plus i saved over 10K in registration fees on the trade.
I know a bunch of people will think Iam dumb trading the Ferrari for a Viper and an old Vette (95 ZR1) but its only money,lol....I know Iam going to have fun with these 2 plus I picked up a 2013 HD V-Rod Night Rod Special so I have a variety of cool rides.

Nice toys, and yes your nuts getting rid of the Scud. But like you said " it's only money" , just wish I had a little more...lol

So is that the car you got the one from Ringgold, GA?

I notice it is now missing on their site and auto trader ads.

I think you're going to love the Gen V. Refined but still a Viper at heart. I think the Viper has more personality, but I'm definitely biased toward it!

Things Iam not going to miss are 1.5K oil changes,wondering if and when the F1 trans will die or some other expensive part with NO warranty on it. The only Ferrari dealer in Utah.

Dont get me wrong the scud will always be a great vehicle to own but I switch out cars so much and you CANT do that with Ferraris unless your a high -roller or a drug dealer,lol

I will miss the 60MS shifts and its glorious sound.. I can always say I owned 2 Ferraris 599GTB and the 430 Scuderia.:) so Iam a lucky guy as I see it which is all that matters!


NOW CMON all you Viper lovers get out there and buy a NEW Viper: keep the BEAST ALIVE

Well, not new, but I did take delivery of a gently used 2013 Track Pack car yesterday. Traded my 03. Wow.

Congrats to you, by the way. Friend of mine has a Scud, and it's an amazing car, no doubt.

I understand completely. I've had four Viper including two brand new Gen IV ACR's and then bought a Gallardo Superleggera. Totally different, E-Gear etc. There is nothing like that V10 wailing at 8K RPM behind your head.
As great a car as that is (and it really is) after a while you just want to move on.
I'm about at that point now.

The ONLY other option I wanted that is not on the car Iam getting is the GTS-R hood. I know I will not change mine because the cost must be enormous. Does the hood provide much better cooling?
