Hello everyone! I've perused these boards for a few weeks now, and I figured I would join up considering my dad and I just bought our very first Viper. It's an '01 GTS, red, and completely unmolested. We used to own an NSX, and after test driving a Viper about a month ago, my dad and I both knew we just had to have one.

I look forward to becoming more familiar with all things about the Viper, and after just a short time, I'm already an addict.

Welcome T.C.z,

Great car!! You will love owning that Viper and feel free to elaborate on which you got ....there is some discussion here at the site about which color is fastest and we will need both your Dad's and your opinion on this.

Regards,
Aaron

TCz,
Let me be the first to welcome you to the board and to Viper ownership. :) The Viper is a unique sports car as you will come to appreciate more and more. The NSX is very nice car with very good looks but lacks the performance of the Viper's V10. Good luck with your GTS, you have chosen the color wisely as Viper red is the best color IMHO:2tu:

Welcome as you couldn't have found a better board to get information, and help regarding your Viper. Also the people are great and unlike other boards very well respect one another. Take the time to look around and you'll find it's a great place to join. Enjoy your new snake and beware of it's fangs. It's deadly if not totally respected :usa:

Aaron is a little misleading. There isn't a lot of discussion about which color is fastest. There are guys who say red is fastest and then its the jealous guys who complain, but admit we are right :D An 01 GTS is a great choice, red is a better choice! Enjoy it and be safe! Welcome to the party :nana:

Congrats! Make sure the wheels are pointed straight when you're getting on the GO pedal as you don't want to get snake bit by the torque of the V10. Also, if original tires - consider updating as 6 year old tires - even with tread will leave a lot to be desired.

Good Luck!

Agreed with the above. Be careful the first times out. Don't go crazy. We see it time and time again. First two weeks. Then the crying starts as someone drove into a ditch. We have not had that in a while. Don't be the next one.
