    Which Viper is right for me?

    Matt - If you're a member of USAA - check financing arrangements with them. They often offer great rates and service. Last I checked with them on pre-owned Viper loans - they were willing to approve loan amounts HIGHER than many asking prices?!?! Warning about a daily driver - the more you...

    Average Age

    Here's a new slant - I've worked my **** off consistently as an average U.S. earner for nearly 30 years. Have bought many family cars, with the family's budgeted savings. Bought MYSELF a Prowler on my 45th with the family's money (or so griped the then wife). Bolted on ~100rwhp and lotsa...

    Almost killed myself today

    My first PUSH on the car blew past 120 quickly - REAL quickly. It absolutely stunned me how responsive it was! I deliberately downshifted to slow (but neglected to brake and match RPM). Don't even ?think? I missed a gear but expected the V-10 to rev-up and slow me appropriately. :eek: NOPE...

    I test drove one of my dream cars today! A Ferrari Testarossa!

    Hey ab - Please try and explain what the ride's like as compared to your GTS. Did you get on it? I've always wanted to drive one - the sound alone is alluring.

    Most Annoying Things About Owning a Viper

    Love ALL these annoying nuances :headbang: The car is more than I ever expected. Only ONE thing sincerely bothers me...and ALOT. The cockpit instrument lighting reflects off the windshield during night driving, even when rheostat is very low. IMHO...I find this WAY TOO distracting and...

    4/9-4/10 Track Days -Savannah, GA(Roebling road)

    I'm track ****** also and am seriously thinking of making this one. Would like to get ANY feedback from VCA members who know about the facilities/training there for a first timer. Would be great to have a few vipers show! ...JoeD

    Wow! Great deal on a 98 GTS!
