New owner here.

[lh4x4]

Just got a 06 vert last night. I went to a Chevy/Chrysler dealer to check out a deal on deep discounted new 09 Z06 that I wanted.

When I went into the showroom there set a pristine Viper with only 4K on the clock.

I forgot all about the Vette and took the Viper home.

Drove it 200 miles today. Stopped at park over looking the Mississippi River and had a picnic lunch with my wife.

Very pleased with it. I can describe my drive today. It was a brute!

Welcome to the club! While driving a Corvette may make people feel pretty cool, driving a Viper will make you feel like a "Rock Star"

I'm not trying to put down Corvettes, because I actually like the Z06, but there is just nothing that compares to driving a Viper. Enjoy your new toy - it looks great!!!

Good pick. You have the best and fastest color out there So the question is what are the first mods going to be? I take it is stock? Exhaust upgrade will give it the sound it should of came with.

Way to go Man!

I came from a Z06 to my Viper and I can tell you that you will be happy with the choice.

The IT factor of the Viper far outshines the Vette. Your gonna love the car congrats man!

In my excitement I forgot to say that it was an 06. I will get the VIN in. In the Quad City area where I live there is only one other Viper that I have seen in the past seven years since I moved here when I retired. It was sold new at a dealer in Iowa. The couple that had it keep it immaculate. The salesman that sold it to them and took in on trade for a Lincoln Navigator had all the documents for it including a copy of the original title and shipping papers in a binder. I like having that stuff.

The first mod that I am considering is changing the rear axle ratio. And a very minor change to eliminate the skip shift. That's all I need. Maybe the exhaust. That would be all I need. And maybe--------

Great to see another Viper in the Quad City area, I'm east of the QC a few miles(Geneseo). I found that the skip shift is no big deal, just don't try to shift if the light is on. Hope to see ya out and about some day. If you see a black/silver gen 4 that's me.
