Gorgeous car. I can't imagine leaving CF behind ever if I was vetteless. Hope you stick around! Congrats again on the Viper.

Congrats on a beautiful car, I also like Vipers. I hope you will realize that viperalley, and viperclub.org are not as "classy" as CF. See how many positive comments you get here? Over there, it's nothing but condescending attitude towards the Corvette, just extreme opposite as here. Lots of waxers over there, more than here for sure, I know, hard to believe. They all seem to care about how many looks they get while driving the Vipers.

Congrats, truly a beautiful car.

I am kicking around the idea of an 08 or 09 Snakeskin Green Viper myself. If I go with a Roadster I will trade my 09 C6 Vert, but I am going to swing for the fence and see if I can make a logical argument for getting the Viper Coupe and keeping the C6 Vert for a daily driver.

Let me help you. This is by far the best color on any car period. I would donate my vette to a mustang driver if I had the option to get one of these.

Nice Viper!

I sometimes look for Vipers to check the market and wonder 'what if' (I sold my collection)?

Lacking the opportunity for a test drive, I gotta ask how much faster the 08-up Snake is.

than my LS3 coupe... 600hp does sound about right-especially without traction control- 600 ought to do it.

But seriously, the amount of low end grunt from an 8.4 liter (514 cubic inches!) is what I would really like to be able to feel.
