Hello Everyone, This is my first posting, have been lurking on this website for over a year and this forum made me fall in love with the car realizing this car was attainable and there is a great group of guys that own this car and have no problem helping each other out. Today coming home from my mechanic i was on the phone with a friend and said i wanted to maintain my car so i can buy a viper, lo and behold a blue viper srt-10 coupe passed me going the opposite way,its 30 degrees and cloudy last time i saw a viper was in October in the street. My friends eardrums got busted from my screaming over the phone LOL. To me that's a great sign this car is definitely for me.

The Fangs have sunk in, the venom is now rapidly flowing through your veins, working its way into every cell. Dont fight it, its all good. Soon your eyes will glaze over with a reptilian gaze. You will feel hot, then feel a strange need to lower the temp in the house, while dark, sinister plans to obliterate the competition pre-occupy your thoughts. There's no antidote! You know what you want now! Only a Viper satisfys this need. SsssssS!!!

All it took for me was the test drive. Wait till you get to drive one.

The waiting is the hardest part! But prices are low and if you can swing it...

I've been lurking the last couple weeks too. For me, the fangs sunk in back in '92 when I was 10, I've dreamed of owning a Viper since then. I used to work at a Chrysler dealer about 9 years ago as the only porter, so I was responsible for washing/moving all the Vipers that came in for service.
On a separate occasion, I got a ride in one Viper for a few miles, but only up to 40mph (if that). The other time I got a ride was basically at idle, since it was during a Cruise Night in Crystal Lake, IL with LOTS of people around. Haven't been fortunate enough to actually drive one yet though |

Yeah, me too. I'm only 27 right now, currently unemployed, and actually my wife and I are now looking at houses. The sad thing is, we could get a house in the $140k range and save money per month compared to the rent we pay now. That'll help pay off the bills so I can get my credit back up to get a Viper.

don't give up on the dream, just stay focused and it WILL happen.
I can't imagine ever being without my Viper, I honestly think I would give up my house first if I had to pick haha.

Its sad to see Saturn die. The VUE is probably the best car I've ever owned. Protected my butt really good in a fairly bad crash |

Glad the Vue was able to protect you. I have always heard that they sold well and were good vehicles. I've had an Ion Redline for almost 4 years now and absolutely love it.

You guys are great! I have a big box full of Viper...stuff, signs, posters, models, newspapers, magazines, etc. I had all that on top of a shelf before I ever met my wife, so she knows how much I want one. Maybe she'd be more willing if we were financially stable, but for now she just shrugs it off whenever I mention "when I get a Viper".
Before I bought the VUE, I was comparing it to the Volvo S40 and the Santa Fe which I almost bought instead, but my dad talked me into looking at the VUE. The S40 was nice, I love those cars, but they don't have a whole lot of rear seat leg room, and at the time my fiance (now wife) was pregnant, needless to say I bought the SUV. Ever since then... When I first bought it, I was actually contemplating taking Saturn's 30day deal and trading in for an Ion Redline, until I found out what the insurance difference was. |

The insurance did hurt for the first year, but I was also 22 & single at the time. It's been falling ever since and now that I'm married & over 25 it's pretty reasonable. Mine is currently putting 260hp at the front wheels
Love that car.

My VUE was rated 250hp (assuming crank) stock, but it has a larger throttle body and a K&N intake now too, also FWD. At the time I was under 25 and single, but am now married and over 25

OK, let's get you into a VIPER.....
This is how you get yours: 1) Don't waste money on crap you don't need. 2) Keep the dream alive and it will come true. Simple!! |
