Hi Guys,
I actually sold my Viper (again), it was my second one and yesterday I met up with the new owner, had a blast with it and now I miss it like hell...but I now own a car with much less running cost and equally lots of fun, but more track focussed. The idea is to save somemore money and go for a Gen 5 Viper
. Untill that time, I'll have some fun with this little toy. (after my first gen 1 Viper I also had a car with lower running cost and saved enough to buy the gen 3, let's do this again)
So actually this is a what I drive before my (next) Viper...
It is a KTM X-BOW, maybe a bit less known in the states, but it is an Austrian made car by the known motorcycle factory KTM. It has a 2.0 TFSI Audi engine mounted in the mid rear. It boosts 283hp and 415nm and weighs just 730kg's, it has lots and lots of downforce and takes turns like it's on rails! Hope you guys like it, as you can see, I have a wide taste in cars...but the Vipers are just true love, they will keep coming back in my garage
and a little clip to give an impression of what it does on track! From about 7 minutes the speed gets some bits higher due to the track getting less crowded and tyres warm up a little (it was freakin cold this day)

It is a funny little car...it gives lots of fun, grips really good and is really fast, it goes round corners like nothing I have driven so far! It has some clear disadvantages compared to a car with roof and heater though 
gonna try it out again on Spa Francorchamps this sunday, this is more of a high speed track, very curious how it holds up with the big boys toys

Love it
) awesome stable you guys have!
Amen. That's the motto my family subscribes to as well. We've always had at least one fun car in the family. Not supercar standards or anything, but something entertaining. Had a 77 911 years ago, several olders Vettes, Z cars, etc. Now we have 3 Vipers between my parents and I, lol.Thanks! Life is too short for boring cars.
Love those classics, you just don't see them out and about much. That's s really nice green too. Don't see as many that color compared to the infamous sublime.
