I usually feel like the top dog on the street in my \'04 Z06...until

Around my area, there aren't too many cars I worry about on the streets. At least nothing that I think looks as good as my Z06. As far as I know, I had the only Viper in my area. That all came to a screeching hault today on the way home from the gym. I just got back to Northumberland and was waiting at a stop sign when I see two Gen 3 Vipers, a nasty looking 96 GTS with a big wing with a PA plate "96 GTS" and I think a red Gen 1 (could've been a Gen 2 but I was too focused on the red and silver Gen 3's to take notice). I've always been a huge fan of the GTS's but today was the first time I've seen a Gen 3 on the road. Holy crap that is one mean, nasty looking car! I had to laugh because suddenly I felt like I was driving a feaken Geo Metro. I then waited at a green light just to watch them go by. I always read that people think the Gen 3's are more timid looking than the Gen 1's and 2's, but I have to disagree. The front end just looks like the car is mad at the world and I wants to eat anything in it's path! I was dead set on buying a new Z06 in 2006 but I think I'm going to have to visit my local Dodge dealer when the time comes. It's funny how inadequate 405 horsepower can feel when you're in the company of several 500 horsepower Vipers!

Yes, it sounds like it's time for you to step up, and it's a big step.

You will not regret the switch. I replaced a 96 RT/10 with an 02 Z06, but still having my GTS track car made the Z06 feel emasculated. I replaced the Z with an 04 SRT10 and have never been happier.

Nice to see you back Nat. I thought you were anti-viper after reading your posts on the Z06 forums.

When you are ready. The car is waiting. Gen III. See you there.

Hi Nat, I am in Shamokin, small world!!! Got a 2004 white mamba, just do not find the time to take her for a drive. Who is your viper tech, or where do you take your viper for service. Thanks, Paul :eek:
