Extinguishers are no doubt a good thing to have and I know shows do this, it just seems silly to get points for it in a HP challenge.
No recent articles that I know of on Lutz 00002. (other than old interviews with him where he talks about the car) I have had inquiries since buying it , but...
I think Jon or someone reported awile back that Biff was helping his ailing father. Back in the day, Biff was one of the better vendors and good guys. Not even sure he is in Va/Md club anymore. Lee might know.
First and formost simply thank God you have a wife that wants ANY KIND OF VIPER!!!! This is not a dlilemma--you have been blessed!
Now, on to the question. I have an 06 coupe and 09 Vert. The 09 is faster but it is not day and night (my Caddy has more HP and is about as fast as my 06) The 09...
Quote: " I think I came up with it on an airplane trip....what it was, you wanted a snake and we couldn't have Cobra. It was as simple as that. You didn't want sidewinder because it had military connotations ...Asp didn't sound too good. Python--they are big and they swallow pigs..So Viper...

Then when Gen 3 was produced (which I hated at the time and now have bought 3) I thought "no one will pay any attention to...
Jon: Congrats--a high honor.
In all the excitement, however , I think you meant to say Hershel McGriff, not Walker--former Heisman winner. Far as I know Walker is neither 81 nor has he raced in NASCAR.
McGriff is a stud. I have seen him race--back when he was a youngster in his 70s...
Yeah, I talked to a dealer a year ago who was the original owner of a 92 and was convinced it was worth $100,000. As far as I know he is still convinced of that.
The one here might be worth $125,000 if it has about 8 Rolex SS Daytonas in the glove compartment.
Depends on the plate. Mine are harmless, "Viper 1"; "Viper 2" and "2Viper". Things like ___eatr (insert name "Vet" etc) while semi amusing ask for trouble. Knock on wood --in 15 years of driving 6 Vipers (and other sports cars) to Lowes, drug store , grocery store etc --no problems.
