I made a post maybe about a year ago to see the mile counts of their vipers. I'm thinking I am going to track the following to get some stats (we all might find it interesting). I will need to know:
1. How many miles
2. What year
3. How long you have had the car
4. How many miles were on the car when you purchased it
5. What region you live in (factoring in seasons or periods where one can't drive it).

If there are other factors that would be interesting to implement suggest it in this thread. I will provide the stats to this in a few weeks when we get a good enough sample:) I will start.

1. 28,088 miles
2. 2000 ACR
3. Purchased in 2009
4. Car had 14,8xxx when purchased in 2009
5. I live in Michigan and drive it from April-November

Averaging about 2,977 a year since I purchased the vehicle.

Viper standards would have this as a mid mileage car. Interestingly, when most people ask how many miles are on my nearly 15 year old car..they call it a "baby."

There was an article on this in one of the recent Viper magazines.

Yes I do have that magazine and was going to see how it compares. This is a bit different. It's also interesting to reference old posts from other viper sites from 2003 with many active members here posting their miles and usage. It appears many members used to drive the cars much more than the people who are buying them now. I notice even with the gen III/IV that the miles tend to be higher and wonder if there is a correlation between buyers who purchase new and drive more due to less concern about "value" and "return on investment" due to increased probability of higher income on average.

As you can all see...the Polar Vortex is really getting me bored:)

'01 RT 114K miles. I pretty much stopped driving it about a year and a half ago. Seriously considering selling. If I knew it was going to a good home I would be more motivated.
