Shame the Vin numbers are not posted up, might help us spot the patched up cars
Some website had a percentile rating for exotic cars crashed - it actually might have even been this website we are discussing.
I can't remember the exact numbers, but I believe it was something like 2.5% of all Vipers produced have been wrecked, whereas (don't quote me) Porsche was at 3.2% and Ferrari was at 3.5% crashed.
So the common perception that Vipers are crashed more than any other car is WRONG.
(If anyone has the exact percentiles - please post and correct me)
I spent two days going through all the Viper photos about 2 weeks ago. I also spent a few days searching for common reasons for Viper crashes. I haven't driven mine yet and I want to prepare myself to be a better driver before I get behind the wheel. I don't want to be that guy who crashes his Viper on day 1.
It's stories like this that make me VERY reluctant to turn my keys over to any shop. So far, I've only allowed my Viper Tech or me to drive it.The real story is a tech from an exhaust shop took it out on a Friday night. Got sideways, hit a curb, then looped the back end into a telephone pole
