Wow... so today I was driving with a red Viper GTS in downtown Chicago. Neither of us had our front plates on.
A cop was walking around (looked really grumpy) and saw us. We were stuck at a red light.
He looked at the red one, saw no front plate, checked the back if it was Illinois, and...
I got a ticket when I was parked once. I have a rubber removable bracket so now I just stick it on whenever I park.
Never had any trouble while driving and if I did get pulled over I would probably say that I was coming back from a car show and forgot to put it back on...
Well... we are already driving the best car ever built in America, but who has taken it to the next level?
Let's see some pictures of Vipers with Stars & Stripes or other patriotic themes!
(I searched and found a few threads from 2001 but all images were missing)
Inspired by 96GTS' post in...
visiting from Chicago, this was a pleasant surprise yesterday. waited a bit, you didn't come out, but it made for a nice photo op
say hi if you're on here!
Nope :) my viper is my only car right now (I have a more practical car but gave it to my little sister to borrow). When the snow comes it'll be a different story but in Florida you're probably good
We had another cruise down to Bill S's shop in Flossmoor and picked up "my viper" on the way back. Two very short clips but they give you the idea of how loud his Borla / straight pipes setup is! You can't even hear the Corsa

I bought mine from California Car Cover because there were some good recommendations on here
I bought the most extreme outdoor weather version - but the rear always blows off! I have to tie it down with about 5 different ropes in order to get it to stay. Seems pretty useless to have a storm...
Thanks! It's a Viper Club of Illinois thing. You can only wear the plate for two months. There is a new design every other year to coincide with VOI. Numbered 01-99 I picked 87 for my birth year
Hey fill-up, I've seen you on Ferrarichat. I'm surprised you sold the 360 Spider, too bad I never got to see it, but glad you are back inside a Viper! :)
Will do :) Ivan might be joining us in Flossmoor tomorrow
We did a little exhaust comparison video too, audio isn't as good as I'd hoped but here they are:

Some pictures from a tiny cruise yesterday with my friend Ivan
We swapped cars and drove up and down Lake Shore Drive and downtown
Mine is the '05 silver, 99% stock, his is the '05 red with Corsa exhaust
Haha, yes, I remember you. White Mercedes SUV right? I do drive it a lot downtown
Thanks! I don't have the exhaust ordered yet but will probably take it there when I do. I do need an oil change though, maybe we can drive down together. I'll send you a PM
