The Five Greatest Sports Cars Ever Built
These are some excellent choices. And a few of you guys have me googling cars (which was also what I was hoping for) that are classic sports cars that many of us are unaware of. I've never heard of a BMW 507, but I googled it and it is a seriously badass and sexy car. As far as requiring cars to...- black mamba1

The Five Greatest Sports Cars Ever Built
In your opinion what are the top 5 greatest sports cars ever to be built? Now, I suggest we have a few guidelines in the selection. The car has to have been out at least a year so it can be road tested. So that excludes our Gen 5, the upcoming 662 hp Stang, the F12 Ferrari, etc. The list...- black mamba1

What about the cops?
Owning a Viper says a few things like: 1. I am really patriotic. Most law enforcement guys are patriotic. 2. I am probably more mature and better off financially than most American sports car owners. So, if you pull me over it better be for a legitimate reason or I will tear your ass up in...- black mamba1

I'm disappointed in the Gen 5 forum
One thing about Viiper owners...we are passionate. We either are your best friend, or your worst enemy. We love Aerosmith and The Eagles, and we hate Eminem and the Foo Fighters. We love big, fast, menacing, in your face cars with outrageous horsepower that will kill most people, and we hate...- black mamba1

Actually....
The more I think about it and the more information coming about about the Gen 5, the more I think this Viper will have the potential to be a HUGE success. As Viper owners we sometimes have on blinders when it comes to objective views of the Viper from the outside world and we cannot understand...- black mamba1

Death of the Viper
Swexlin, I in no way meant to belittle owners of those fabulous cars you just mentioned. I love all those cars and all the guys I've met from those car groups at car shows and cruises are great. I just think that $137k for a Viper is beyond the reach of most current Viper owners...and it makes...- black mamba1

2013 Viper Poll
I actually need to reserve further judgment until I see the car in person. I remember how much better the Gen 3 looked in person vs the pics, and I expect this car to also look better in person. Right now, the more I look at it the more it looks too Gen 2ish for me. I can understand moving in a...- black mamba1

Death of the Viper
I dont think its ridiculous at all to be worked up over price. One of the first things car manufacturers routinely do when upgrading models is leak info on price, especially for limited edition models like Vipers or Ford GT's. I think its ridiculous to withold one of the most critical pieces...- black mamba1

2013 Viper Poll
On a scale of 1-10, ten being best Exterior Looks: 8.5, very Vipery, but looks less aggressive than the Gen 4 in the pictures Interior Looks: 10 Power Increase: 5, I would like an explanation for the less than stellar power increase Weight Reduction: 9, not to bad for a bigass v-10 truck...- black mamba1

Death of the Viper
Do you thnk if the C7 Vette made some decent improvements and had a 40 hp power increase for its base model but came it at $72,000 do you think the Vette brand would survive as we know it? I dont think so and I know Im comparing apples to oranges. I love this Viper but I would have to see some...- black mamba1

Death of the Viper
TrackAire, I really hope you are right. However, what I've noticed is that the really rich guys that buy Vipers are a rather fickle crowd for the most part. They get a Viper, tire of it, then twin turbo charge the car...realize how insane that kind of power really is...then they sell the car...- black mamba1

Death of the Viper
Personally I love the Ford GT and when we conducted a poll in this forum a few years back and asked what other sports car would most other Viper owners own the Ford GT won. I personallly cannot afford a Ford GT, but in my discussions with a few others at car shows, there are people who mentioned...- black mamba1

Death of the Viper
First and foremost let me say that I love the Gen 5, both the exterior and the interior. You have to understand that no matter what SRT came up with, at least half to a third of we Viper owners were gonna be pissed. You cant have 640-700 hp cars without traction and stability control and expect...- black mamba1

The "gang bang" wont last long. It will only be a matter of months before tuners figure out how to mod the Gen 5 then we will be banging right back! And the Viper platform handles speed and power much better than the turbo charged Nissan Maxima they call a GT-R and the 4000 lb Mustang with a K...- black mamba1

C Hermsen, only once! After seeing a few supercharged Vipers with 700 rwhp spin out and lose it onto the grass, and after feeling like I just played 4 quarters of NFL football after fighting all those g forces in the turns for an hour...that was enough for me. I was ONE AND DONE. LOL..after...- black mamba1

And there you have it. Owning a new Viper is really still a combination of nostalgia and sports car dominance, with nostalgia owning a larger and larger percentage of why people are buying Vipers. I dare say less than ten percent of Viper owners are qualified to actually drive the Viper for...- black mamba1

01Viper4me that was a very well said response. For drivers to reconnect with the spirit of American racing and American power is what in my view the Viper offers. It looks seriously badass, is unique, and dare I say turns more heads if not just as many heads as Lambo's turn. Having said that...- black mamba1

Hey guys, its been a while since I've posted. Been away from Viper world every since a local dealer totaled my Viper in 2010. The arrival of the Gen 5 is very exciting. However, when one steps back away from something they value deeply for a significant period of time, in my case Vipers, it...- black mamba1

Plum that sounds good. Be nice to meet up with ya. Yeah, I am not sure I can find a white Gen 2, but I will try. Did they even make Gen 2's in white with stripes?
