I could probably make more on this setup with a better fuel pump. I am maxing out the stocker.

Sweet Ride...yes, the B/W GTS is the epitome of Vipers, I've always said that~! Definitely...and yeah, the white w/blue VOI edition is stunning as well. Since you are interested in the blue/white GTS, have you checked out ViperJon's 2 Vipers???? You will be pleasantly surprised!!! ENJOY~~~juli

Welcome to another AZ Viper owner, one that actually drives it so I might see you around town. I bought mine in San Antonio a year ago and drove it home. I had half the drive you did (half the fun) and I'm glad I drove it instead of transporting. Hope to see you around sometime, maybe the Pavilions on a Saturday night, I never see a Viper there besides mine. Congrats!!!

Thanks for the welcome. I was actually thinking about hitting up the Pavilions show in a week or two. I can't make it this Saturday but possibly on the 15th. PM me. Maybe we can meet up, and/or get some of the other local guys to come out.

Half the fun indeed! I think the drive back was 2200 miles of the best motoring experience I have ever had. It was waaaay better than getting it shipped. I still smile when I drive it around. What a great car!

Love your color combo. I'm a sucker for white/blue and blue/white. We'll see you around...

Sounds cool. I'm gonna be out of town on vacation on the 15th. I don't hit the Pavilions that often but about once a month I like to go there and check out the cars there. Sometimes on the bike, sometimes the car. It's a fun way to spend the afternoon, I'll just be happy to see another Viper there. I'm sure you've noticed that you rarely see a Viper around town here, I think there only a couple guys that actually drive 'em and two of them are on this board. Check out the AZ section and you'll see what I mean. See ya soon.

[quote=Sweet Ride;2503751]A couple things I forgot to mention:

Click on the facebook link for pictures. You don't have to have a facebook account to check them out.

Don't tell Al Gore, but I burned through 113.312 gallons of dinosaur juice with an average of about 19.42 miles per gallon. It's alot better mileage that I had counted on.

I forgot to thank the guy in the silver Z06 outside of Housotn. He reminded me how much of a posuer (most) Corvette owners are. If you must ask, I won !

I would venture to say 75% of us on here owned a Vette at one time or another (and some still do). I don't think we become different people just because we decided to try owning a Viper. Wwelcome to Viper ownership. Personally, I'm still getting used to all the Vette bashing. I'm sure I'll get used to it.

I know, I know... I just had to take a jab at Vette owners. Coming from the Mustang camp where it was a constant battle with the Camaro guys, I thought it would be fun to stir the pot.

Don't tell anyone, but I still like Vettes. I have a friend that owns a few and they are all pretty nice cars... Don't tell anyone I said that...
