Well, it looks like I am going to take a break from Vipers for now.

I am not leaving the Viper world, but I am going to play with another car that is about the cost of a new Viper. I got the car from Ringgold Dodge. They got the car from a Viper owner. It was within my price range my wife allowed me. I wanted to get a modded force induction SRT-10, but my wife was really against it since it had a lot of power...(after the crash of my viper she is nervous about any high HP car)I told her I wouldn't mod the new car much... ;) (hmm yeah right)I think this summer I will be looking for a high mileage GTS to rework the engine. I will most likely be sending it off to DLM to have him do it...I could do it, but DLM is more equipt and knowledgeable in that area than I am.

Mike at Ringgold has been patient with me during this transaction...but just a warning, he may never do business with another Asian! LOL! Just kidding!! I am taking delivery on Monday afternoon. So I don't know if I have gone to the dark side, but oh well...I will still be lurking...ooh! just as an FYI if anyone is looking for a 1991 Ferrari Testarossa with 7,900 miles with all major service done, there is a guy here that has it for $60K in Louisville in my search for a new car. I am sure he will sell it for less.

So keep me in mind if you find a 98-99 GTS that has high mileage on it. I hope I am not hated too much! LOL! :D


here's some pics of the new car. I am taking out the brown carpet and replacing it with black, new quicksilver exhaust, new wheels...and so on.

AB, I have been following your posts for quite a while. I have always loved the look of your car. So sad to see it go.....but your Diablo is AWESOME.

One heck of a band-aid till you get the next viper!

I for one would love to see more detailed pics of the Diablo.

Can't fault you on moving to that sweet ride... I'd do it myself if I could justify the maintainance costs.

Hope to see you back in a snake soon! :2tu:

Great looking ride!

:shocked: Don't do it! That was suppose to be my car! :evilmad: :D Just kidding. Although, that is my all time favorite/dream car. I will have one soon, just don't tell my wife. Best thing about it, the original owner is a member here also. I bought my Viper from Mike at Ringgold also. Flew in and drove it home. Congrats Adam. Check your pm's as I sent you some funds to help mod the Lambo. :nana:

Thanks everyone, I will be back in a Viper soon..just need to find a high mileage GTS to rebuild.

I didn't realize how low these cars sit compared to a Viper or a Vette. I stole this pic from Adam.

LOL! Chuck...I should have known you would have said that! But then you need to walk a mile in my shoe or try walking with a chopstick up your butt...those Asian girls can be mean as hell!

Here's a look she had when we were building our house..can't remember what I did, but it pissed her off. Don't ask me what's up with her shop glasses..she calls it fashion so she says! Looks like shop glasses to me.

I would never criticise somebody for not buying a Viper to replace a Viper. There are a lot of awesome rides like that Diablo you found and all have pros and cons. As long as you are a ******** sportscar guy, we will have something in common. Try not to obsess over the black paint on that beautiful Diablo too much. :D Enjoy. :2tu:

If your ever interested in a clean 8,100 miles,Black with silver stripes,connolly interior 99 GTS drop me an email. Very rare color combo for 99. Under 20 built. Has T&D roller rockers with the chrome molly push rods,Mopar computer and exhaust,SVS billet throttle bodies with the big air box and K&Ns. Very nice clean example of a GTS. Last year for forged pistons as well.
