Hi all ,Having just tried out the black gen one on pistonheads i bought it there and then .It needs two tyres on the back though if anyone can help ?smilesmile After being after one since I discovered what my john Thomas was really for this gen one was the most awesome car I have ever seen or been in in my life .About as practical as a button on a sock but unlike nowt else ! Thanks to doctor bob for the recommendation and look forward to seeing the viper clan at a meet soon .No disrespect to all viper owners here but ,like me ,to buy one of these cars you simply cannot be a full shilling !smile

Thanks for the help you guys .I will be browsing the shown links this week to get myself some rubber on the back .It has new sport pilot ones on the front I think and yes ,the car felt bouncy over 60 mph on the back tyres that are barely legal .As if the wheels were well out of balance but im hoping that is just down to the tyres and nowt else .The car needs some early discipline though as it seems to say to me - welcome to viper ownership squire , but make one wrong twitch on my gas and I will bite you so hard you will get a great view of the nearest ditch !!

The above tips are I believe important for viper owners .i reckon a lot of these cars were perhaps bought by excited owners who thought - RIGHT , lets see what she can do etc and ended up with disastrous results .On test driving the car yesterday i could sense imminent disaster was pending should i get carried away with this unfeasible monster i had decided to buy .According to a member of the viper scene some vipers were actually written off by the service mechanics who decided to "TEST DRIVE" THE CAR and ended up wrecking it ! What an experience that would have been for all concerned ! I WILL be taking it easy !! wink
