zoomboy Report post Posted June 25, 2007 so today i saw a yellow viper with a black stripe going across it in a busy weekend parking lot. it looked pretty nice and low. but as a car people seem to not really care about it at all. so does the viper get any attention on the road? there seems to be not much shock factor on that car in maryland , because there are quite a few around here. is the viper still a supercar? just seems like people dont care about it much anymore. when i see one on the road , i do see a few young boys looking at it. but as for chicks and adults, they dont even turn thier head at all. how about in your area? is that car still worth getting as a weekend supercar?

Ray G Report post Posted June 25, 2007 Absolutely worth it. I plan on getting another one. Torque is your friend and the Viper has plenty of it. Supercar performance and service is as close as your nearest Dodge dealer. Personally I prefer the Gen 1 and 2 over the current model but they all have excellent performance. My 96 GTS was supercharged and never gave me any problems. I sold it with 84,000 miles on it. I miss that car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Report post Posted June 25, 2007 IMO Vipers are one of the biggest bang for the bucks out there in terms of performance, exotic/sleek looks, the "fun-to-drive" factor, and just all out sex-appeal. They are pure badasss, with awesome performance and one hell of a mean stance. However, they are NOT supercars. (And although there performance speaks for itself, they are also not on the same level as a Lambo). If you are looking for something to cause traffic jams, a Viper is probably not the ticket. Speaking for myself however, a Viper rolling through my town would be news for a week. (Although, I live in a small primarily middle-class town in Northwest NJ). Obviously for MANY of the other guys on this board, that will NOT be the case. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC333 Report post Posted June 25, 2007 GTSs are beautiful, RT/10s are so so the new ones look like Honda S2000s, I wouldnt even glance up to look at a new one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RQ Report post Posted June 25, 2007 I recently picked up a VOI9 coupe - translation: white coupe with stripes, limited edition. Turns out this is one of the funnest cars I've had. I call it the "Hooters car". Not very refined. It is what it is, and its great fun. Does not replace other cars, but its the kind of car you always want to have around. My G may be a sleek jet fighter but easy to drive, the Viper a brute beast that demands the utmost attention to drive at any speed.

Smash Boy Report post Posted June 25, 2007 The low end pull of a Viper gives it a seat of the pants feel greater than most exotics, and maybe even the mighty Ford GT as well in the lower speeds... The '08 models will bump up to 8.4 liters, 600 hp, 600 lb-ft of authority. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantera Report post Posted June 27, 2007 Well I drove a SRT-10 coupe, blue with white strips from denver back to the springs. The car got a ton of attention for a sunday drive. So far its the fastest car I have ever drivin before in my life and at only 80k what more can you ask for?. Iv'e been considering looking into a used GTS since those things can be tuned easly for a ton of HP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDoctor Report post Posted June 27, 2007 I absolutely love the viper. The newer body design is eh. The older body style is extremely sexy. Hmm, I just got a new PT job that pays well...trade up the Lexus for a Viper ? NAH . A Viper with straight pipes shakes the ground .

281cammer Report post Posted June 27, 2007 I have a 01 Yellow GTS, and I love it. I live in a decent size city of about 125,000. It is a neck breaker around here though. Everywhere I go people stop and talk to me. Like everyone says bang for the buck is surely there when your talking supercars.

SV-N-IT Report post Posted June 27, 2007 for the money they are nice cars. I had a 2001 GTS and a 05' SRT10 Mamba edition with a S/C. but once you have stepped up to a Murci/Gallardo/997turbo there is simply no comparison.

pockmark Report post Posted June 27, 2007 In Miami, I dont give them a second look unless I see an Intercooler behind the front bumper. They are like Camrys here. I personally like them, but when you see 16 year olds that have them all the time in South Beach, it gets old. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
