Can I just say - America, f*ck yeah!

I think I'm in love.

[Cobrafan427]

You keepin the rims or lookin for somethin else?

[pimento]

That is quite hott. I think the demise of the Viper is a damn shame.. as ridiculous as it is, I <3 it so. The current ACR is so much fun to drive (in Forza 3).. Hopefully Fiat will see fit to revive it properly at some point. Gotta do it right though, or not at all.

[Spastik_Roach]

Love the mags, still think the best colour combo is the Metallic blue with the white (silver?) stripes tho! needless to say I'd still kill for your car...

[early93viper]

Probably going to keep them. There pretty light good for track days. Why do you ask?

[whiteballz]

I like the wheels, They suit it nicely.

[f6fhellcat13]

I don't like the Viper because I encounter them on the roads fairly regularly and I have yet to see a Viper driver who has grasped the concept that there are other drivers around them. They have some of the worst road manners, probably second only to ricer's Civics and just worse than most Lambo owners. Fortunately, you seem to be the exception to that rule.

However, I do like (nay, love) the idea of the car, and if it wasn't sold in the States I would probably love it.

EDIT: So, congrats!

[Roentgen]

Congrats mate :O That's a nice ride!!

There's a nice green one and a black one in the background too o_O

[ruim20]

Oh my... that's THE Viper! Congrats, do post more videos! :)

[CdocZ]

Gorgeous find man! Maybe we will get to hear her some time? Heheh

b/c at first glance they don't seem like they fit the car but the more i look at it the more i like it. Damn nice car

[wwgkd]

So did you get rid of your old Viper? Or are you now involved in a Viper menage a trois?

[whiteballz]

Yeah wwgkd, he sold the '93.

The video explains it all.

[wwgkd]

Ahh, I wondered. My computer isn't liking the video (piece of dinosaur crap) so I wasn't able to watch it.

Did you drive through Colorado on your way to Kansas? I saw one of these on the highway two days ago.

Yes but that wasn't me. I picked up the car over 3 weeks ago.

[Sledgehammer]

too bad, also hows the cooling of the car? Any upgrades to the radiator, or front end to help aid cooling?

[early93viper]

Actually yes upgraded radiator. How did you know?

[Sledgehammer]

I know someone who tracks their GTS, did alot of engine work to it so its around 660 hp, upgraded brakes, brake force bias... and he always was harping on how he could not keep the engine cool.

Eventually he got a new front with larger openings, and a much larger radiator. No problems since.

[Rasmus]

Nice! I like them things. If my tall ass would have fit in one, I would have picked up a second gen when I blew the motor in the Mustang.

[ScionDriver]

Love the Viper, simplistic and best modern muscle car IMO. Love the engine too, real mean sounding. You're lucky. How many Vipers have you owned now? I am sure that the Viper will be back from its current hiatus, most likely when the economy picks back up and they get the fuel economy thing sorted out (like when muscle cars died in the '70s and then were revived in the '90s and '00s)

[Kitdy]

I wouldn't call the Viper a muscle car - even a modern one. It's a sports car - just more brutish than the Europeans.

A modern muscle car (or pony car, whatever you want to call it) would be something like the Challenger or Camaro.

Fair enough, I see your point. Muscle cars are more big engine in sort of ordinary car bodies (at least originally) whereas the Viper is more purpose-built. The new ones perform better on the track from what I understand which is also more sports car-like than the muscle cars who do better at the drag strip.

[Sledgehammer]

I would say the viper can do well at the drag as well.
