Buying a Viper
Discussion
Always loved them since playing some computer game I can't remember!
I've read up all the FAQs on the VOA site and watched lots of you tube vids.
Where did everyone buy their's? Is there a forum that sells them? Don't really want to buy from a dealer. I've seen the yellow RT10, but no replies and wonder why it's been up for so long! I don't want to have a problem selling if I need to, I dislike selling cars at the best of times. What's desirable or not?
In this day and age are they a bit underpowered?
My other short lists are an Ultima and charged Exige. I think if I bought one of those id sell the Westfield, but I'm not sure a Viper will replace it quite so well as I still want to do track days.

Eh?
Unless you haven't noticed, 400hp is easily attainable these days and they aren't carrying any weight advantage. Whilst they are no doubt fast, how do they compare to other stuff on the road. Maybe you can talk about the power delivery, torque and dynamics or compare it to other modern cars of similar power.
My Porsche is 700hp and my westy is 270, though I'm expecting 300 once iremap on new timing.
Can't say I've ever had time for computer games so I'll ignore that idle remark, hopefully there are better owners about.

It's a great car, nice mods, decent power well kept, perfect ride height, personally i love yellow. I've watched all his vids and read the article. Bit disappointed the progress thread was removed though? If i had that, first thing i'd do is get a low level spoiler and a black stripe. Only gripe would be the lack of forged internals, shouldn't be an issue NA i'd of thought thought, just future proofing really as i tend to get carried away with upgraditus.I hope to see you out and about in it
