I'm glad to have joined your community and look forward to many informative and interesting discussions with everyone.
I have owned Porsche all my life and finally I'm getting the itch to jump into a brand new 2004 Viper. I would like your non-biased comments on your experience with Dodge and the Viper brand.
I went to look at a 2004 SRT-10 Viper black with black interior and silver console the other day.
The vehicle is very nice to look at and you are aw-struck at the beautiful lines of this vehicle. Big ass, large tires snug in the cockpit, nice interior............your just anxious to get inside and blast the engine when you see this baby. The appearance of this car certainly necessitates the need to drive it in order to determine if the performance is indeed at par with its looks.
I was very impressed by the styling and appearance of the vehicle but I was not impressed, however, by how dirty the car was kept. This is a brand new vehicle with a little under 300 km's and it seemed to me that the engine needed a shampoo and there was dust every where in and out of the vehicle. If I had to purchase this vehicle I certainly would not purchase it from this dealership. After all if they keep an expensive car like this is that condition, I could imagine what the service would be like. Certainly, a turn-off to say the least. Is this common to your purchase experience?
Perhaps Dodge, would do much better by separating the sales of these vehicles and other high end name brands into independant showrooms and not mixed in with its other brand names .
When I pulled up with my Porsche I was attacked by 10 salespeople immediately............. knowing very well that I was there to look at the Viper.
The drive is shear brute force that throws you back on the slightest acceleration. I had a huge smile on my face the entire time I was driving the vehicle. The handling , although responsive, did not handle as agile and quick as my Carerra 4 . You get more of a go cart responsive feeling when you're in the Porsche.......then again I new this when I went to drive the car. It's a **** car with incredible brute power that concerns me about may safety if not handled with CONTROL and more importantly EDUCATION. You cannot drive this car without learning how to drive this car and applying self control!!! The Porsche, on the other hand, is much more forgiving in this respect.
All that said, is a Porsche worth the additional thousands of dollars over a brand new Dodge Viper...................................I 'm still not convinced????
Has anyone here been a Porschafile converted to Viperfile? I would love to hear your thoughts and anyones opinions in general. Especially maintenace costs, mechanical flaws, things I should be looking for in the 2004 etc.....
Cheers and safe driving.
