Done deal, bought and drove it home

[SublimEd]

Drove down to Myrtle Beach, traded in our 2008 SRT8 Challenger on a 2005 Yellow (my favorite and fastest color) with 8400 miles.
Turned around and drove it straight back home to Delmont Pa. (near Pittsburgh)! 700 miles, good way to become familiar with a new car!
Car is so sweet!! To bad winter is coming!
Hope to meet some of you next summer! Thanks for this helpful site!
Hope I can attach a pic
Thanks,
Ed

 

[Leslie]

very nice, congrats!

 

[Ricketts]

Nice!!! Sadly as much as I've been to Myrtle, I'm not familar with that place. Where's it located?

 

[BlackSnake99]

Sweet! I like the '*******' color combo. Congrats!

Welcome to Viper ownership. Send a Private Message to one of the mods/admins to get your status upgraded from Enthusiast to Viper Owner. Better yet, join the VCA and get to know others in your area with the same passion that you have. The club is a great way to meet other Viper people and enjoy your snake with others of like mind.

Be sure to be careful when driving the car until you are thoroughly used to it. Cold tires, stabbing the throttle, and a lack of subtle inputs can catch you out. Warm the tires slowly and be gentle with the throttle. Good luck.

I think that's the first yellow with white stripes I have seen. I really like it. Beautiful car!

 

[SublimEd]

Thanks guys (and Girls) the car is fast.
I just sold my 550 hp Plymouth GTX, but this is twice the fun, I can turn now!!
Going thru a wide sweping turn on ramp, little on the throttle and the rear broke loose about mid second gear, what a blast.
The Challenger was fun but nothing like the Viper!
The place I bought it was at Competition Motors, 4806 Highway 17 bypass South, Myrtle Beach, down by the old Walk A Mall near 501 E.
Still has the original tires, I know I need to replace them
Thanks again,
Ed

Welcome!
Sent you a PM with some ideas for you and contact information.

Hope you get some late fall weather in Pa. that will allow you to take it out.

 

[Newport Viper]

Welcome! and do drive carefully! Don't become a victim of snake bite!

 

[KNG SNKE]

You couldn't have picked a better color.

 

[GBS]

Concrats! Yellow's very nice but red's the fastest color.

 

[2MANYTOYS]

Nice! Could you post pics showing the front?

 

[slysnake]

Nice car. Love the white stripes.

little on the throttle and the rear broke loose about mid second gear,

imho shifting to 2nd gear seems to be the most dangerous time. Takes some time to get use to the power.

 

[01ACR/VIPER]

Nice color Enjoy.

 

[Brian GTS]

Congrats on getting a Viper. Remember what gbatejan has said and you'll enjoy one of the best driving experiences a car can deliver
