I expect to have the car at home sometime in the 1st couple weeks of November. Its being brought from up north in an enclosed trailer.

I am exhausted now. Flew up at 6:55am this AM, arrived at 11:30am - left at 2:30pm and back home at 8:00pm.

What a day!

Congrats, You hit a homerun with this one. You will love it , and so will everyone that sees it. It is stunning. I traded in my prized 96 Blue and White Coupe for my 06 Copperhead after seeing it on the show room floor. I have had neighbors coming from all directions to see it and I'am sure you will also. Enjoy, be careful and remember that only 51 Coupes in the world were painted this color. Best of Luck, Tony

Yes after seeing all the Viper colors I have to say I love this color the most. I just was amazed when I first saw it in person

And from what I am told only six with this color (no stripes) and wheel combo were made so that makes it just that much better.

Congrats MuscleJunkie,

You're gonna LOVE driving your new Viper!! Nice color too!

Regards,
Aaron

Thanks - one thing I keep telling people is the color is not done any justice in pictures. A few people asked me why RED and I have to tell them it is not red. Not sure how to get a really great picture that captures this color just right as it changes depending on how you look at it and the lighting that is available.

Use the late afternoon sun to really bring out the color!

Where, 'Up North' did you purchase it?

If it wasn't for a quick snow storm this past February, I'd probably be in one exactly like that from NY.

It snowed enough that night to scratch the trip and I purchased my Black one locally (For a great price!:D ).



Congrats Dude - Beautiful!!:2tu:

Yeah, I had one or two people ask me if I wanted to get new rims. I know some are not into the H-Spoke wheels but that is one reason why I bought the car. I really like the way they look. They sort of remind me of the wheels on my Z06 and I really think they make the car. They look even better in person.

The only thing I am wondering about is how the clear coated polished look hold up over time. If it starts to look bad the way I have seen the polished rims on the Vette get - then I might consider having them chromed.

Thanks for the welcome!
