Ok. I spend 3 days in Orlando this past weekend. Seen about 300 corvettes, a few Porsche's and what not. Not one single viper anywhere !!! What's the deal !!! I am moving there if a few months and want to meet up with some other viper owners.

Apart from car shows, you won't see many Vipers on the street in Orlando. I see 2 or 3 a year at most. There are plenty of car shows, though, and you'll see/meet Viper owners at those. Here are some pics from the ones that occur regularly... Orlando Car Show Photos

I'll be living in Port Orange in 2 weeks. You'll be about 1 hour away. We'll get together at some point and do some cruising. MTGTS lives in Orlando as well.

Yeah, I can't remember last time I saw a Viper around here that wasn't at a show or event. They are around, just not driven to much.

Yeah, whenever I take mine out it gets tons of attention. That could have something to do with the yellow-walled tires though ;)

There are some excellent shows in the area with the Celebration show being the best I think. There's also Festivals of Speed, Cars for the Cure, and the Winter Park Concourse D'Elegance.

Plenty of Vipers out and about in Florida. You just haven't been to the right place. Drive about an hour south of Orlando.

Sebring April 2012.

Ask for John Canal or Jim & Cathy Smiley for the VCA North Central Florida area.

They also do some events with the VCA South Florida Region so be sure to ask. We hope you will join the VCA -many Vipers there!
