Woohoo I bought a Viper!!!! Pics & Video inside...

[Stretch]

Well, it's finally official. After years of dreaming I bought a yellow 95 on Friday. This couldn't have happened without my parents because they are awesome. And I wanted to say thanks to Kevan for going with me to the inspection, Ryan94rt10 for teaching me all about the gen 1's, and 2001 V10 Power Nut for answering all kinds of stupid questions I had the last few weeks. You guys rock.

Anywho, I am excited to have my very own Viper and join the VCA.
Stats:
95 RT/10
18k miles
high flow cats w/ borla exhaust
AP Engineering 3 piece top

Unfortunately I didn't get to clean her this weekend so she's dirty in the pics, but I will fix that this week.
On to the pics...





















And video of starting it up.

I always liked the tan interior, but do something about that red hing

Might want to get with some of the local Viper guys and adjust the right headlight a bit up and forward. Enjoy it and drive safe always!

Are the hinges always red like that? I wasn't sure if that was oem or changed by one of the previous owners.

Good call on the headlight, I'll see if I can do that.

It got changed, should be black. Semi-gloss I think.

Too bad your first one had to be yellow but one has to start somewhere. Congrats, be careful and have a ball. Beautiful car.

Not everyone feels comfortable starting out with V10s. He prob got yellow since they come with V8's

Congrats Jason! If I could afford a 2nd Viper, it'd be a yellow Gen 1 as well (I love sidepipes!) Enjoy it in good health

Looks like the bolt that holds the LH side of the airbox is loose and the RH one is gone. I could be wrong, just looks that way from the pic. As Dave6666 will attest, those bolts can come out and chew up your serp belt! I'd go on and buy a p/s vent tube ($20) and upgrade to Big Brake Dave's billet aluminum power steering pulley and bracket if you still have the OEM pieces on there.

Congrats again and go throw some miles on that bad boy!!

Congratulations on your Viper!
Drive carefully and join the VCA on October 1st to get this year and all of the next as a newbie!
What good choice in color.

Congrats Stretch!!!
(You have a dock? I'm comin' over to your place for the Buckeye games. )

The car looks great and only needs a few little touch-ups to make it perfect again. If you need a hand with any of that, my garage and tools are available.

I did notice on Friday night that the pass. headlight was aimed *SLIGHTLY* higher than the driver's side. Nothing dramatic, but something that can be easily corrected.

Enjoy the new ride and let me know if you want to hook up and chase Corvette's around town.

All you Gen1 lovers Gen1's have STEEL P/S pulleys and only need the bracket changed. Just some needed info
