LOVE IT! Sooo bad ***! That is EXACTLY what I am looking for. 97, Blue with white, bonus since it is the Venom edition!

How much was it and how many miles does it have?

 

sick car! Why did you decide against the GTM? Given your purchase of the manta, I would imagine that you were just as excited about the build as you were with the final product.

 

Congrats on the purchase. I have always loved the vipers!

 

SICK!! Congrats on the new ride!!

 

Any plans on slapping a supercharger on there?

 

So does your girlfriend like the vibrations of the cams? Nice looking car, I really love that it came with a giant salad bar so you can still eat healthy

 

instead of a salad bar, at 200+mph, it has a valid purpose on this thing. lol

 

already started shopping around for one. hopefully it will be dry tomorrow so i can flog it abit to make sure everything is ok with it.

 

the manta was a great deal and made a few bucks on it, but driving it was not alot of fun and actually quite scary. not like "hang on cause it is fun and fast" but "hang on because i don't know what the hell this thing will do or at what point we will be airborne!!" literally, just like a mega high hp go kart.
my work has been so busy lately i started to feel the reality of buying a corvette donor, striping it completely, selling the parts i don't need on ebay (then all the time to ship stuff) and building the gtm. one thing would have suffered, either the car or my work. thats one reason.
the other, i saw the viper, and had to have it, and it is done ready to drive now!! i will clean it up abit and see wat it will pull in the springtime. i am guessing a decent amount more. the gtm is not out of the picture, just for the moment.

So what made you steer away from the GTM? Personally I was SOOOO close to getting one and would of used my C6 as the donor (but couldn't justify tearing apart a brand new vette). Today.... i regret it and WISH i had gone with the GTM. But that viper is gorgeous

 

congrats!

Congrats how is it compared to my 2004 vert srt10? gawd damn heat comming from the sides is intense. most uncomfortable car but very very fun to drive

 

No real photos of it - just dealer stock photos of a car like it? I've heard they are a beast to drive in the handeling department - and not very practical - compared to a Z06. Too bad we will miss the write up of a GTM supercar build.

 

Old school Vipers are the ****. I have a 2000 year model RT/10 and it's a lot of fun to drive. Just be careful. Last summer I ripped the back end loose due to too much throttle coming outta a right turn. Vipers have so much torque down low so be careful.

 

wow, wasn't ready to paint mine, but that green one looks awesome!

 

for sure! kind of silly how fast it will torture a set of 335 rear tires from a roll on!

 

ya, the heat out the side vents is plentiful. better that it gets out though than staying in there.
i thought the vision would be bad. surprisingly though, it is pretty good and not at all a hinderance while driving.
the seats are comfortable and shifter position and throw makes for lightning fast shifts. only thing is the clutch pedal engagment is lower than the rest of the pedals. in order to push the clutch all the way in i am kind of crammed up against the brake and throttle pedals. i have heard there is a fix for it though.

 

btw if anyone is looking for one, at my dealer we have one for sale and will make a deal for the right person.
