Proud Owner of a New 2002 Graphite RT-10

[Vipersrule]

I've been reading the boards for a few days.  I just got my new 2002 Graphite RT-10 in late November.  I picked it up with 20 miles on the odometer

.
 
Man do I LOVE Vipers!!!!!
 
I have always wanted a corvette.  I thought they were real cool - and, of course, all American.  But then I started working on the impossible.  What if I could actually get a Viper????
 
It's not a dream, you just have to want it bad enough.....
 
I surprised my girlfriend in L.A. last July for her birthday.  She was in L.A. training for her new job - she had no idea I was showing up.  I rented a yellow RT-10 for a day.
 
I was hooked!!!  The pure power, the looks from "everyone" - it's was magical.  I figured a Viper in L.A. was no big deal - everyone saw cars like that in L.A.  Not the case, not at all.  It drew lots of attention - even in L.A.
 
My dream of a Corvette was an old puppy, love relationship.  Who'd get a vette, when a Viper was possible?
 
So now I got her.  And she's gorgeous!!!
 
Here's to my first new sports car, and to all the Viper's in the world.....  What an amazing, just plain, flat out, fantastic sports car!!!!!!

This is TEXAS, you can't throw a stick without hitting a truck around here!

 

[Vipersrule]

Monnieh's correct. It's Texas. What good is living in Texas without a truck? The Viper's a special car, but it doesn't pull a boat very well..... I'm sure it'd have no problem with power, but clearence sure becomes an issue

...

I'll work on getting a few pics with some exclusivity on the Viper. I already planned to up-date my User picture sometime soon.

But just like the Viper, a truck has it's uses.......

Also own a graphite 2002. Look forward to driving it every day. Every day. There is no other car. Enjoy.

I got my 2002 Graphite RT/10 in early December, and absolutely love it. Does yours have the black or cognac interior? When looking for mine, I recall a Graphite/cognac with around 20 miles being located somewhere in South Carolina. Is that yours?Congrats! Eric

Looking forward to meeting you sometime soon.

A BIG Congrats and Enjoy your new toy!!! I know that Corvette feeling...I sold my 85 Vette and still currently have a 2000 Vette Conv. 6 spd. in the garage next to my new 02 Viper F.E. #338. Man there is NO comparison between the 2 cars. The Viper has KILLER looks and AWESOME TORQUE. You made the right choice. Oh, did I mention that the 00 Vette will be going in the next 2 weeks. The vette can't hold a candle next to the Viper. Good Luck!

Best, Dave

Congrats and welcome aboard. This car is something very special. I was parked at a local restaurant last week next to a beautiful red Modena...I swear people just flocked to the Snake all the time I was in the restaurant, pretty much ignoring the Ferrari...you're about to have fun. Good luck.
