Finally I got the car of my dreams.. a 1998 Viper GTS. It's Viper red and is such a beauty!
My friend, who just bought a red Corvette Z06 from 2001, followed me on my quest to drive my car from NC to Saskatchewan in Canada. The ride was such a thrill! I was a bit afraid of the car in the beginning, but after 2,000 miles of driving I got the hang of it.
I know what you guys may be thinking.. and yes. I raced my friend a couple of times on the way and boy, did he get his ass kicked
Of course he was a great opponent, but the Viper has the power and will to win. It was just such a cool drive. The biggest problem was to awoid driving too fast, but when it happened the Valentine was a good support. I think it saved our asses 4-5 times! I just love that machine!!
I don't know how to post pictures on this forum, so I cannot show any.. sorry!
Oh yeah.. One really bad thing happened on the roadtrip! Some person scratched the passenger side of the car with a key. Can you believe that?!? I left it on a well-lit parking lot, where I could keep a good eye on it.. but it happened anyway. Man, that just ticks me off!!! Why would anyone do such a thing to such a nice car? I just can't believe it. But besides that, everything went fine and I now own my own Viper.. Now I finally know what you guys in here are talking about.
Unfortunately everybody who is interested in sports cars in Moose Jaw (the city I live in) just love the Corvette. There is even a Corvette club where they meet all the time and show off their cars. They have a big exhibition next saturday where my friend is invited.. maybe I should bring my Viper and see which car gets the most attention
On our road trip up here I got all the attention and my friend just faded among all the other cars on the road.. gotta love that Viper! It's a car like no other. And the acceleration.. Yeehaa!
Just wanted to share my first experiences with my new car to all of you in here. I know how much you like this car.. I will propably make a lot of posts to learn a lot more about it.
Have fun out there!
