The Viper Generation 1 is a nice car but a raw beast. Your C5, allot better ride and comfort. How do I know? I owned a red '94 Gen.1 RT/10 for about 8 months. My happiest day was trading it in. I must say, there is nothing like the look of a Viper coming up behind you though. Nice pictures.

Any chance your brother in law got that thing from Foriegn Cars Italia in Greensboro NC a few years back?

I was there 5 or 6 years ago and they had that exact car in the showroom... it was mint with about 400 miles on it. I'm guessing a clean one like that is a rare car.

Any chance he bought it at a place called Jeff's in Canton? That is where I bought mine. They seem to have quite a selection of special cars like that. I am not sure if it is still called that since I bought mine 6 years ago but it is right off the 77 Interstate.

I can't believe I'm saying this, maybe its the stock wheels, the RT10 Viper looks so dated. Now a GTS is a different story.
