Viper Owner
Long time lurker here, and new to post, so I am introducing myself to you all. Basically I am 25 years old and own a pizza place in taylor michigan. Currently am an owner of a nissan 350z and 2003 Mustang Cobra. I have a 2004 Honda Civic for everyday driving and deliveries. I am by no means rich but work very hard with little handouts. I am very passionate about the viper and would love to get to know some of you viper guys and gals here. My fiance and I would love to get to know some michigan owners as well so we can plan how we can afford this car that is a little out of our price range! Anyways that is a little about me and now to my opinion on the new coupe.
I think the new coupe looked great in pics. I think it looks WAY better in person. I saw MANY people surrounding the coupe at the show and they all thought it looked AMAZING. Not once did I hear "its slower than the z06 blah blah." I stood around that coupe for a good 15 minutes. It is gorgeous. Congratulations to the future srt coupe owners, its amazing.
Why are so many people hating on it? I think its just simple cognitive dissonance. Quite honestly I think a lot of people may regret previous purchases or just want to believe they have the "best" and by putting down the new coupe it re-affirms their strongheld belief that their car is superior. I mean I would not come into an SRT board to talk down about the car if I really enjoyed my "gen 1, cobra, nissan" etc. I would be in those boards!
Well sorry for the long post but am glad to be here and hopefully will join viper community soon to come. I have had good times in the cars I have. The 350z to my girlfriend has the best lines around. Its pretty slow but a great car for 35k. The cobra is very fast and easy to mod. Id rather just have ONE very nice car (viper) than those two cars though. Interested in knowing if any of you SRT owners or other Viper owners are in our income bracket which is around the lower 6 figure range. I know many of you are very well established and have worked for many years to get where you are. Just curious if any people get these things with the lower 6k income. OK..now im done posting!
