For all of you guys that know my brother Roland, he calls me the other day and says "Hey man, I just bought a car that gets ten miles to the gallon." I was like what the hell are you thinking. He said, "I only gave $40K for it with 10K on the odometer." Must be nice to be able to blow that kind of money during a recession and with three new kids. Here is a link to what he got. I'll post some pics of it when he sends them to me. I'm jealous.

Considering the used/new car market right now. He got an awesome deal on that thing.

They are nice cars.

the guy writing that article knows jack shit about driving.. this is one of the worse things ive ever seen written in an automotive article:
...the two passengers can enjoy a spirited ride, if hard, over any road, and know that if the driver makes the mistake of entering a corner or exit ramp at a speed above his or her abilities, the abilities of the car are better, and you'll survive.

yea.... right... dumbass.

He bought it from a dealership in NY and had it shipped to him...it's red.

I really didn't even read the article Travis. Sorry it wasn't up to your standards.

I'll let him know Dave.

i just found it stupid that the guy is driving a car that is known for biting the hand that drives it... and is saying its going to magiclly save itself...

the viper is a fun car, but with the stock goodyears, when the rear end comes loose in a corner, there isnt much warning, and it comes around fast.. gets alot more looks then a vette though..

That's gonna leave a mark.

Nice cars, just not the right car for you everyday I think I can drive type of person. Kinda like getting a Busa as your first ever bike.

Don't worry, when it comes to nice cars Travis doesn't have, he tends to gulp a huge dose of haterade. I'll leave it at that.

As far as the Viper goes, I've ridden is several of them and they are a badass ride, no doubt about it.

i havent said anything bad about the car... i just said the guy that wrote that article is an idiot.

and i think your vette is a piece of shit.

Why the heck would anybody like anything else than a Rally Sport Crapmaro with a "corvette engine"? He has achieved the ultimate ride and no Z06 or Viper can compare. We should be hating him... :lol:


But seriously...maybe I need to add "viper" to this:

That really hurts, as I still care what you think. Please, don't ever forget that.

I agree with Travis' assessment of the article - a Viper is anything but docile, so to that writer's statement was so ignorant it was funny.

No thread crapping please :smilebig:

take alook at the new vipers. more power due to some new technology for the cam shaft. neat stuff. some other refinements as well

Yeah agreed, the new Viper had an amazing lap time around the ring. I still like the first gen looks the best, and I bet they could be found fairly cheap if Roland found a '04 for 40k.

we have a friend that if it weren't for a guardrail he tyo would have sent a viper over a cliff at the gap

he has owned a 98,99, and an 08 viper as well as multiple vettes and if you want a powerful car and aren't worried about the around town comfort of the ride get a viper but if you want a comfortable ride with some power get a vette

I just can't wait to go to TX and take it for a ride. I've never even sat in one. Like I said, I'm jealous.

I got laid in a vette once. A Chevette :smilebig:

To me nice cars are like used condoms.
Never been in one & have no desire to ever have one.
The closest I've ever come to a Viper was heading up I-77
towards Charlotte & one came flying by at least 150 mph's
or more.

I'm just a truck kinda guy.
