RE: Viper is Home....
Hey Joe - just last night in a toy store I saw a 1/18 scale diecast model of a Viper that looks *exactly* like yours, except for the wing and stripes - it even had chrome 5 spoke wheels, and the color was identical. It was on sale for about $20 - 'you interested?

The guy I purchased the car from has reciepts in and around 185K$ including the origional price of the car. I paid less than half of that for it.
[/div]
Congratulations, Joe! Best of luck with it! Are you going to paint it Ivory Pearl?
I was at the dealer having the oil changed in the van last Thursday, and they had a new Viper - Viper red/black, in the showroom for $85k including the $3k gas guzzler tax. The sticker said 20mpg highway. Awesome car!

RE: Viper is Home....
Drove the car today. It is exactly what I was looking for. Eli came down and we went through a tank of gas in less than 100miles and a couple dyno pulls. The car broke traction at 75-85mph in 4th a couple of times. It will break the tires loose at will anytime in 2nd, and 3000rpm+ in 3rd. Here is a dyno sheet.

RE: Viper is Home....
Congrats on your new ride...
I'm probably one of the few people here who have zero interest in driving that car... but I'd be plenty happy to be chauffeured around in it.
Just let me have a quick snoffer before we head out.

I heard the rain covered up the fact that you couldn't stop drooling.
[/div]
Yeah, good thing it was raining, 'cause I forgot my bib.
Joe fired it up and the garage literally shook! He was whining how it idled, mumbled something about the cams... then later spotted a plug wire had popped off! LOL!
I feel sorry for the guy, the poor pearl car forced outside, all his Mark VIII parts boxed up for sale... and now a car he can't drive in the rain. Poor guy.
