This is the one I'm thinking of getting.

Going to the dealer in a few weeks to check it out.

MSRP = $145,000 (No Discounts)

Super sweet car, but why? New 2015-2016's Vipers are selling for 90-110. At 145k, it's competing with beauties like the AMG GT S.

Lots of suspension and aero on a $90k viper. Don't get me wrong, awesome record-setting car and looks cool. but has only 2 uses: 1) drive in anger at a track 2) put in a museaum

First I have to see if I can fit in it. I heard it's rather tight. I'm 6'2, 230lbs with long leg inseam.

I've read nearly every review online so I know what to expect.

This would probably be driven 5k miles a year, maybe track it twice a year.

But it's the last year and a Special Edition.

This will not be a Museum or Garage Queen but will be kept in mint condition.

I'll keep it till I die then give it to my son .

**** brother, I'm not worried about what your *** fits like in the drivers seat. My question is whether or not this *** will fit on the passenger side.

Nice car. Don't wait a few weeks. It will be gone. I'm 6'1" 225, and fit fine in my Gen 2 GTS, which is tighter than my friend's new Acr.

Get it, those are the limited run final edition gen V cars.

I know the Viper will be back, only question is when.
