Adding to the garage.... again.

And lastly does it have a market where people will pay the money for it? Yes, the viper does.
What I did get wrong though was how wide that valley was going to be, so I literally watched the prices spiked and that was the end of that. Same sorta thing happened when I bought my place.
Anyway, enjoy it man, great pick up!

It's got unique looks, a unique engine, successful racing heritage and performance to be competitive with even current supercars.
Couldn't pass up having one.

Thanks man, I always thought the Gen2 GTS's were the ones to have. With the exceptions of the new Gen5's prices reflect that. IMO none of the Viper's are as iconic as the Gen2 GTS's. Something about the way they look... they just got it right.

Most people when they think of viper they think gen 2 gts, and forget that there was a gen 1 roadster.

Ironically, I just sold my Gen 2 viper and am buying a Gen V. I had my gen 2 GTS for 12 years and man did they go up in price since I bought mine.. incredible. Mine was silver.
These are absolutely an iconic look.

So 700 miles home from Virginia Beach was a good "introduction" to the Viper. Me and the wife sweated our butts off, but you couldn't take the smile off my face.
Car is not perfect, but I wanted to put my own self into it anyway. I will get the pleasure of fixing it the way I want it. Car drove perfect and gave us zero trouble on the way home. Best description of this thing I can say is it's 100% American. Sounds like a truck, shakes ridiculously at idle, and has over the top styling. It really surprised me how small the occupants area was, as it's the narrowest part of the car. I would say the S2000 is just a tad tighter, but it is laid out better than the Viper.
Looks like it's got a Corsa Cat back exhaust, because I can tell it's not stock. Doesn't bother me one bit, as I think they are close to $2K. Other than that, car seems completely stock.
There were very very few times I could really "get on it" with the wife in the car, as she really hates it. I know better to piss her off after just getting the dream car too, but you can feel the power there. Speed seems even more effortlessly than the Vette, and it never seems like you are going as fast as you are. 80mph feels like 45mph.
I'm still in disbelief it's sitting in the garage.
Already fixed the blue center caps, as I couldn't stand them. I will post more pics when I've had a chance to clean it up and get it looking pretty inside and out.
