time for a change

[vinny2]

after having 3 Vipers in the last 8 years, i decided it was time for a change. i am no longer a Viper owner, and will miss the car, and the club, but i am excited about my new adventure, and toy, an Aston Martin. Totally different car, but a great deal of fun , in many new ways, and an absolute pleasure to drive. I'm going to have a lot of fun with this, and who knows, i may be back in the Viper world down the road.
i have only had it a few days, but one thing is the same as the Viper.....lots of stares!
i've enjoyed this forum, and the local club, and will still visit this site periodically. Thanks to those that have helped me over the years.

i like those but you'll be back. congrats

 

[vinny2]

Thanks Plum.

 

[vpower01]

ah 08 Viper GTS Blue w/ Blk stripes keep it, you will miss it im sure. Good luck

 

[CitySnake]

Absolutely the best looking car available. Simply gorgeous.

Exactly the move I'm going to make when I get just a bit too old and feeble to handle my Viper.

 

[plumcrazy]

city, you're there now

 

[slysnake]

I wouldn't mind one. But I'd keep the Viper too.

 

[RTTTTed]

Yup, I agree. Local guy crashed his 2nd stock Viper and told me that he's buying a Porsche because his OLD reactions can't keep up with a Viper. He knows that it's slower, but ... he's a whooping 62! OMG!

Will I be allowed to drive my 900bhp Vipers 7 years from now when I get 'old'?

 

[vinny2]

i don't know if its an "old" thing, but i will say the AM is a much more "driveable' car in the city, and around town, to me.

 

[DeLViper]

Did you get the one-77?

[Ken Lally]

I think you really need both.

Good luck with your car venture. Im a huge AM fan and always have been. The AM's are gorgeous cars, but a little under-powered, IMO. I still think you'll really enjoy the car, as you've stated you already are. What model did you go with? Im guessing either a V8 Vantage or DB9?

 

[vinny2]

you are correct, sir. V8 Vantage. Perhaps underpowered somewhat, but feels very quick, and plenty of pep, from what i can tell.

 

[Austin]

you are correct, sir. V8 Vantage. Perhaps underpowered somewhat, but feels very quick, and plenty of pep, from what i can tell.

You're right, they do have some pep to them for sure. I was able to drive one a month or so ago and I really enjoyed it. The build quality is good as well. Thankfully, they're no longer owned by Ford. Ford is making some decent cars these days, but I always thought AM should be an independent company; or at least get away from Ford.

The new V12 Vantage will be out soon. That should be FUN!

 

[Twister]

If you dont mind me asking..WHY THE DOWNGRADE????

Thanks...signed, Blinded Viper owner

 

[Austin]

BTW, dont forget to pull fuse# 22. Or keep fuse# 22 in and disconnect the vacuum tubes running to the switch valve. The car will sound amazing!

Another Black and Blue trading hands. Is the new owner a VCA member?

Im the new owner!!!! Hello!

Congratulations and welcome, what part of the country are you from

 

[Makara]

You can supercharge them and really make them fast. It really is a day and night driving experience. A few years ago I directed a promo for the first company to make a kit for the vantage.

[vpower01]

Nice video and ill take one of each thank you.

 

[CitySnake]

Nice vid Mak! You do elegant quality work! Like the speed limit sign.

Still nearly 100 HP less than a GEN 4. But I seriously think that the AM is the most refined looking sportscar made. Absolutely perfect lines. James Bond to a T.

Thanks, I appreciate it. They are able to get 600+ hp from them now, depending on how far you want to push it. When I directed it, I had a supercharged vantage, DB7, and a DBS over at my place over the course of about a week. Now a bad perk.

If you guys liked that, I have a feeling you may like the last spot I directed. No cars, but a few more girls

[BossGT]

I am also here in ATL, GA. This is actually my second viper, last one was a 05 Copperhead, number 15 i think.

You made a nice transitional move, enjoy it, stay safe, and welcome back when the time comes back around.

You need to update the black and blue "list"- do a search and you'll find it.
