Why did you buy a Viper ??

I will start, As a kid I always wanted a Vette after my uncle came over with his 73 vert...Man I'm gonna get me one of them..And years later I did.Well 20 years later I just got tired of everybody having the same thing and seeing them all the time.Traded my 98 vert and never looked back.Man I should have done this sooner.

 

[99 R/T 10]

I bought mine because corvettes are more for metrosexuals......................................



Vipers are more manly.........................................................

 

[plumcrazy]

i used to be a die hard mopar guy. its the ultimate mopar

 

[VIPERUSA]

I am a die hard MOPAR guy and,, SPEED/SPEED/SPEED nuf/said

 

[sniper1]

Cuz I likes to stand out in a crowd and not blend in like them vettes do.

 

[8mywal8]

Tired of the vette. Needed to be different. Had to stay American

 

[96GTS]

It was a life or death situation...I would have died without it.

 

[Canyon707]

Mopars since 68. Still, Mopar's today. That's got to tell you something? Nothing like cubic inches.

 

[Peter Nielsen]

Three main reasons:
-Engine volume & low end torque
-Styling / want something different than everybody else has
-Z06 does not come as convertible/roadster

 

[Stretch]

I wanted a slow car that no one would notice.

 

[Shank2117]

Couldn't afford a ferrari lol.

 

[Black Adder]

Had two vettes, M3, supercharged XKR jag. Wanted to get back to basics, power handling, looks and minimal electronic aids

 

[Brake Dust]

Im in the black top bizz and needed a steam roller that could get the job done really FAST.

 

[Detlef]

It's rude, crude, hot, loud, and looks great while being great on the track. I love it! What other car brings those attributes to the table for under 100K?

 

[V10SpeedLuvr]

Short story: Had wanted a Viper since 92'. Failed engagement. Had $$ saved up for wedding. Said "F%^& that b%$#@" and bought Viper a month after we broke up

 

[goat318]

ever since the 89 detroit auto show. I had to have one. than the gts came out. Game over. 2000 Gts. ohh and I hated my vette and could afford a ferrari

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

Huge motor, huge tires and no nannies.

 

[Asp Man]

Die hard Mopar driver since before I had a license.
Wanted one since the prototype hit the press.
Drove one, my brothers. The only antivenene was to find one for myself.

 

[SSSSE YA]

Nothing looks, drives and hauls Ass like a Viper and it is made in the USA.
The End...

 

[RTTTTed]

Cubic Inches, Mopar Forever and like kicking GM as. Modified Z06 beat my modified Stealth R/T TT by a length - ordered bigger turbos, SS headers, and bigger injectors. Then my Motel burned down and I got my investment back. Took my money and bought a sc'd GTS. Wrecked that and bought bigger and faster GTS.

I'm a bad loser and lover working on cars so my GTS is my 23rd addition to my stable.

My 440 Duster is just as fast, but no braking or handling available with OLD Cars. For sale.

[01sapphirebob]

Passion of mine since I was 12. Was finally able to get my first one in July '05. To me there was just nothing better on the road than a viper. Best BANG for the buck.

 

[CPPRHD265]

Had a 64 MGB and loved that little car. I sold it several years back, stupid me. I started looking for a two seat vert. I had nothing particular in mind at the time. I looked at a whole range, from miatas to a BMW Z8... Ran across the viper, and just fell in love.

I know this will sound kinda funny, but it does remind me of my old MGB in a way... heh. All the mechanical sounds, the way the windscreen is, and well... the simplicity.

 

[JK-GTS]

I bought mine actually 2 months ago (7/17/09) because a Red Viper GTS has been my lifelong dream car!

Just turned 21 on the 15th - by far the best b-day knowing I was able to reach my goal!!

 

[All Blue ACR]

Because I like to be different

 

[Darbgnik]

Because I like to be different

And did all you could do with your old mopar?

 

[Disturbed]

Huge motor, huge tires and no nannies.

What Chuck said.

 

[1fast400]

Most powerful supercar you can buy, modified and still have it be driveable. Blows my mind how brainless the UGR TT cars are.

 

[Smokin' 2]

It's not cheaper than therapy but it's more fun...I use mine to releave 'business owner' stress
When I was working on my doctorate I had a poster of the GTS on the wall above my study desk at home. Wanted one since the day they came out!

I was a Mopar guy all the way, 1st car was a duster, 2nd was a duster, third was a challenger, 4th was a Stealth TT...not to sure what to think now with the bailout, screwing investors and how they've treated Chuck

 

[xlrashn]

I needed a car as cool as me..............

 

[okloneranger]

It was either a 5 year old Viper or a brand new Vette-As you can see, I really had no choice!
