Greeting VCA,
Several weeks ago I realized my dream of buying a Viper. After 15 years of college and several years in practice as an interventional nephrologist I decided to take the plunge. Turning 40 may have had a little influence (mid-life crisis??
).
I looked at cars for several months and drove a few: AMG CL55, porsches (C4s was nice), Z-06s, tuner mustangs etc... when I ran accross the Viper it was love a first sight. I drove it once, and bought it the next day.
The Viper is Red (yes another red one) with silver stripes, 34k miles, Corsa exhaust, and a short throw shifter. The Viper is without a doubt the most fun car that I have ever driven.
I currently live in Uptown New Orleans, with all of its problems, thus I have opted to leave the car in Tennessee. My father has been gratious enough to keep it in his garage. It has been a pleasure sharing the car with him as he is another car lover (look up Gabbard Publications on google to see his books). He had always wanted a 427 Cobra when he was younger, the viper is "very close, only better" according to him.
I have not posted yet on the Forums but have read many of them. Lots of good information and great people here.
Hopefully in the future a Roe super charger. Maybe heads, cam, rockers/push rods, headers, dyno-tune first. Who knows, being single has its advantages
.
BTW- I have tried to figuer out how to post pictures, even read FAQ and searched the forums. No luck. Any help would be appreciated. I did post one photo in the 2001 Gallery, title Red/Silver '01 GTS.
Best Regards,
Will
