Default Goodbye, CF!

I traded in my 07 coupe this past weekend towards my dream car. I wasn't planning on getting rid of it until next spring/summer, but things kind of fell into place. Anyway, just thought I'd say I've enjoyed being a part of this community over the last 2 years and I wish one that is as active and helpful existed for my new car. Thanks, CF!

Beautiful car too, best of luck. Doesn't mean you can't stick around... maybe the C7 will bring you back.

Wow, congrats but be careful with that thing. You are going from a car with a very smart and effective active handling system to basically a race-car for the street. No nanny's on that car. They can bite you quick. Be safe and enjoy. You will LOVE those douche's over at viperalley.com - sarcasm.

Good luck with the Viper ans as already stated, don't go looking for some fast corners because that will not handle like your Corvette.

Thanks guys! I may be back around at some point. I was going to wait for the C7 to be revealed, but this car kind of fell into my lap. It's definitely not as smooth and "elegant" as the Vette on the road, but man the power sure is awesome!

That is an awesome ride! You will be fine, just don't mash the gas in the corners! I have owned numerous Vipers and only spun my ACR which has cup tires! Check out viperclub.org lots of great guys and knowledge over there! Best of luck...
