Title: Got a Gen 5!
Post by: Banzai Ben on June 09, 2014, 07:37:59 AM
Finally back in a street Viper and it sure feels good! Sold my Porsche last Wednesday and bought the Viper on Thursday. I found it in Texas so Dan and Cathy Everts were nice enough to go check it out for me.
It arrived Saturday evening only 3 days after purchase, very fast delivery!
So far I've driven it about 150 miles and I have to say this is definitely the best Viper ever. I can't understand why the magazines rag on the Viper so much. The Porsche was nice but the Viper is more exciting and has that street presence.
It's a SRT with the upgraded infotainment option, leather seats, and track package. Hope to see more gen 5's in the club soon!

Thanks! Yeah, I was feeling out of place bringing the Porsche to the Viper events so glad to be back in a Viper!
Now the question is...... To stripe or not to stripe?

Mike, I didn't know I had the power to moderate! This could be fun! Just kiddin'  ;)

My parents lied, they told us after high school, we wouldn't have to worry about peer pressure  :'(

Thank you!
Yesterday for Father's Day I took it out with Mikey and could not resist getting on it even though I only had 360 miles on it. Went to a big open street near LAX and floored it through 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.
Wow, it pulls hard!  ;D
