Do you have a Viper in the garage that...

[V10SpeedLuvr]

I just talked to a guy in Michigan today that has 3 Vipers Gen I & II not sure of the breakdown, all have less than 500 miles. He said he is going to sell them soon.

Already in the market for a new one???

Yes, almost as bad as the Gen II vs Gen III debate. Still not sure what the Gen III owners see in their cars.

Hehe.... somebody had to say it. I personally think there is a huge difference in the Gen II and Gen III looks wise, but hey different strokes for different folks I guess. I think the Gen II has more head-turning appeal (sex) appeal then the Gen III, but the Gen III is a more docile ride (if you want that- I don't).

No, he called me. I wish I could. But it's nice to know that there are a few virgins left out there.

I have a feeling someone is going to rob me for a B/W RT in a few years.

96' RT/10, only 76k miles, never driven in rain, never raced, never revved over 3k RPM, only driven on sunny Sundays to church, never driven above 70mph. For sale for the low price of $92,000. Today only!!!

What a deal!!!!!

 

[DodgeViper01]

how can any viper that isnt driven be called unmolested?




(j/k with ya dm - beautiful car!)

haha. I feel the same way.

Here's a Black and Silver 99 with 3000 miles sitting in a dealer showroom that has never been titled.

Why does someone have to start this crap again? My 06 gets as many or more looks than my 94 got. I have had gen1 and gen 3 would never go back to a gen1. BUT WHO CARES!! Just having any Viper is a thrill!! Lets all Viper owners stick together and if you want to rag on a car pick on the vette.

I picked up a 1996 Mystic Mustang Cobra (1 of only 2,000 with color shifting paint). I got it in 1998 with 1,600 miles, and now it has 4,000. It patiently sits in a garage, but never gets driven. I've conditioned myself not to drive it because I bought it as an investment, and I feel guilty whenever I see another mile added to the odometer. If I could go back in time, I would have left the car where it was because I doubt it will ever be collectible enough to justify keeping it as such a low mileage car.

It has now become a double edged sword, and I will carry around some sort of guilt until the day I finally sell it. Cars NEED to be driven because that is what they were made to do. I don't even want to think about what the inside of it looks like since no fluids have circulated and thus no lubricant has coated bare metal surfaces. The brake fluid and gas has probably turned into varnish by now, and all the tires, seals, hoses, wiper blades and anything else made of rubber is probably dry-rotted.

I got a Viper 2 years ago with 17,500 miles on the odometer and it's about to roll over 26,000, and I have LOVED every second of it. I think about the enjoyment I've deprived myself of with the Cobra, and that is something I'll never be able to get back.

If you have a garage queen, take the old girl out for a drive. Don't worry about miles because that's not what owning a Viper is all about! If you want to sit and look at a Viper...buy a life sized poster and free up the garage space.

LOL! i will let you in on a secret rob. people arent staring at your cars. they are looking at the VERY tall guy, whose head is sticking way up over the windshield, who happens to be driving the viper.

Funny! I was doing th Magnum P.I. thing but decided to go with a seat loweing kit. Now I can't get out of it.

I had a 96 Mystic as well. Even though they are rare, they didn't really hold their value did they?

The Gen II looks WAY better than the Gen III. I just wish they had more power, or were cheaper to modify. Im already bored with my GTS, it has 5600 miles and its perfect. But its a 2000 so boosting power with forced induction is too pricey. Im actually putting some pics together to make a classified ad.

So to answer the question, it sits in the garage because I dont enjoy driving it.............and those wavy doors drive me crazy!!!
