What % of Vipers have over 10k miles on them?

[Mike Dolan]

'05 with over 24K

 

[J ACR2000]

2000 ACR, 43000 trouble free miles. You garage ****** need to drive your viper! Life is too short.

 

[Ratical2]

1996 GTS, 23K miles. 8K of them since I bought the car in March.

 

[SNKEBIT]

55K+ on a 94

 

[PDCjonny]

'98 with 29.5K.
Put on 20K in three years, enjoyed every minute of it.
Three years later I get the same thrill every time I start it up.

 

[06blueviper]

'05 with 9,200 miles, daily driver, guess I'll be hi mileage soon.....

'06 with 9,100 miles here.

 

[RichieSRT10]

05 with 26,000 Supercharged miles. I also get a kick out of the garage queens and the owners who say a stock Viper is fast.

 

[dave6666]

58,856 testing all these parts Put on 2136 miles just testing the message center trim ring

Big Brake Dave

Did you ever get the dyno chart for the trim rings complete? Now I know the wind tunnel data is not until next weekend but you promised the power curves a week ago!

 

[ZESTY]

96 RT with 38K

 

[mach4444]

2000 rt/10 w/27,000 on it 15,000 since march 07. just can't seem to leave it parked.

 

[The Great One]

05 with 26,000 Supercharged miles. I also get a kick out of the garage queens and the owners who say a stock Viper is fast.

Damn Richie, was that REALLY necessary?

 

[jeffdai]

[twinturbo3150]

[SERPENT INDY]

02 FE ACR..........450 miles
02 ACR..............7K miles
03 SRT..............450 miles
06 SRTC-VOI9....56 miles

 

[PatentLaw]

[dave6666]

Really. What's the point in that.

 

[DEKE01]

Just wanting to see how many Vipers people think have over 10k ("high mileage") on them. My guess is 60%. Year doesnt matter. A 92' with 11k on it is high mileage just like a 06' w/11k is for this post.

I have performed a detailed study and have a precise answer to your Q, 50%. If there is any flaw in my analysis, it has something to do with the fact that my test sample was limited to my garage.

2004 Roadster - 10,800
2006 FE Coupe 986

 

[DEKE01]

I think this deluded perception is only held by Viper owners.
Nobody else thinks like that.

I have to disagree. When I first started shopping for fun-on-four-wheels, I drove just about everything out there. There were several reasons I didn't buy a Ferrari, one of them being I want to drive my cars, not just look at them. Unless you want to flush money, you can't put miles on a Ferrari and some of the other exotics.

Of course it varies by model, but the Ferraris depreciate dollars per mile. Check out dupontregistry.com. You'll see lots of 360s for sale and very few of them are HIGH MILAGE - over 10K miles. Those that are 20K and 30K mile cars cost 10s of 1000s of dollars less than the low mile cars.

 

[PDCjonny]

Really. What's the point in that.

So you can maintain it, house it and never enjoy it and MAYBE sell it 15 years from now for what you paid for it (or more likely less?) I don't get it.

Good. Then it is agreed that we can all drive the crap out of our cars and be considered reasonable.

Good news is, by the time I'm too arthritic to get in and out of mine and I sell it, the 500 mile storage queens will be owned by museums and not for sale.

And my 50K mile '01 GTS will be a low mileage car.

This is what I am, hoping for.

 

[PDCjonny]

Yes, as of now we are moving the bar for what is considered low mileage to... 30K!

Thats right, any Viper under 30K miles is a low mileage garage queen creampuff.
Any questions, ask Dave.

I'm a little un-comfy now. I have 24K-ish miles now. We'll hit the 50K mark when we start taking Centrum Silver. I was thinking ahead on that.

So, I guess I need to go find my queen and see if she'll puff the cream off.

My car, you perverts.

 

[dan87951]

lol 10k is considered high? I'm new to vipers and plan on having one but I just don't understand the concept of "garage queen". If I spend that kinda money on one of these cars I'm going to drive it and enjoy it!

You'll do just fine then...

 

[IEATVETS]

83520 miles here. OOOPS I made a typo, I meant to type 8352 miles!!
You guys are making me feel bad but I have put 2400 miles on it since I bought it. I promise, I will drive it more next year.

 

[Carmaker]

I have 13,000+ on my 2000 GS and 4,300+ on the 2006 Coupe.

My brother has over 150,000 on a 1993. He drives it everyday. has been his daily driver for years, now retired from DOD.

 

[01ACR/VIPER]

23,500 AND GOIN STRONG.
