Freiherr
Viper Owner
Hello from Vienna, Austria!
And no, it´s not Australia, sorry for that.
Austria is a very small country located next to Germany, absolutely no kangaroos and definitely just a handful of Vipers to be found here.....
The first time I drove a Viper was in 2003, when I went to Miami Beach for a vacation and suddenly got the chance to rent a SRT-10.....after a few days I was sure: nice car, lots of fun, but my 2002 Corvette Convertible at home is the better choice.....so forget it!
Last year I got the chance to rent a SRT-10 in Munich, Germany.....after a few days I was quite sure, that my Corvette......and my girlfriend agreed with me: it´s too noisy, it´s too rude, forget it!
End of the story: having made a list of several Vipers in Southern Florida I took a flight to Orlando a few weeks ago and drove down to St. Petersburg to take a look at the first Viper on my list.
Most of the few Vipers in Europe are red or black, so for me it had to be a silver one, although I had never seen one before in real life.
I stepped into the garage and.....I stood there stunned! The search was over, no negotiations about the price( Hi, David
).....as Ryan Adams would say: love is hell!

Transport to Germany was perfect, no scratches, no dents, in Wuppertal, Germany it got its registration documents for the EU and I went there to take it to Vienna.
It was a little bit chilly, sometimes there was some rain, sometimes a few snowshowers, so I had to be very cautious and never went faster than 130mls/hour..... I love the german motorways without any silly speedlimit!
Having arrived after that 600mls-trip I knew for certain: my SRT-10 is the far better choice than my Corvette, and as for my girlfriend - she is addicted to our silver snake now. What else?
P.S. One of the best cars in the world deserves one of the best forums in the world - and that´s just what you are here, folks.
P.P.S. Anybody here looking for a nice 2002 C5 Convertible?
Sorry for my bad English and Greetings from Vienna,
Andreas
