Okay, how much did you pay for it? Lol. Come on.

I got a stellar deal on this car.

That said, most comparable cars go for $150,000 to $165,000, depending on condition and miles. As stated in my edit, a $150,000 loan would work out to $2,700 per month if you secured a 3.00% loan.

You have one exterior and one interior, what more do you want from me?!

If you have requests, go for it.

Should I go look at some Civic/Subaru/Audi forums to get an idea of shoot location, how to hold the camera, and proper wheel turn-out angles? 🙂

3. Dallas and/or Austin.
4. Nice try.

Don't take this as advocating random strangers driving your car but...

In my experience the best way to recapture the initial awe and wonder of driving a car like this is to witness other people's experience when you share it with them. It's remarkably easy to take a fun car for granted (Don't all cars drive like this?) but sharing it with others reminds you of why you bought it in the first place.

I have almost as much fun letting others drive/ride in my Viper as I do driving it myself.

[EDIT]Oh, and beautiful car. 🙂[/EDIT]

Viper GTS

I'd like some close up shots of the engine, intake, and exhaust from underneath the car - as well as trunk and toolkit. Just something to drool over :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I whole-heartedly agree with this.

Most people are shocked when I toss them the keys to one of my cars and get in the passenger seat. I tell them: "well, I didn't buy the car for looking at." They have a hard time wiping the shit-eating grin off their face afterwards. Granted your car is considerably more valuable than any of mine, but if you've got insurance... 😎

Heh, my old room mate sold his old SRT Neon. I drove (and still drive) a crappy Cavalier that is a stick shift. I told him he could go out and drive it and he had a blast ... lol! He really missed driving a stick mostly.
 
Some of you guys are funny, it's like asking him to let you ride his wife to remind him of why he married her in the first place. :awe:

:hmm: waitaminute!... :hmm:

I... just... but... for seriously? A $200k Ferrari wouldn't be an auto-x killer? :'(

Seriously though, I've seen more powerful cars have a great time at autox events. It certainly wouldn't be about winning though.

real cars like this belong on a real track!

that thing needs to go road racing where it can really live

I am not saying it wouldn't be incredible on a real track. An autox is a great way to learn limits and how to handle a car without splattering your shit all of a concrete barrier!

um if you cant learn limits at the track.....stay out of autox too please! we lose sites by people rolling cars and hitting lights 😀

have you been to a track day? its hard to go back to autoX afterwords 😛

Your dream is only $60,000 + maintenance from fruition.
Click to expand...

I noticed that! the 360's aren't much more too, and while I love the 355, for the money the 360 is a much better deal 😛

I haven't checked on the maintenance on them, it can get very pricey I know that much. I was all set to buy one of the V10 M5's, till I caught onto the 7K lower end refresh they need every 75K on a car I would be driving ALL THE TIME 😛

some day, but not this day. more than I can justify at my income and upcoming expense increases

Ill just live vicariously through your posts 😛
 
Zargon- have you done 14-25hr endurance races? A few of us here have. That doesn't mean autox isn't fun, and no- you don't want to be learning/breaking limits on a real track unless you have a ton of runoff. Even then, rolling a car in grass is a possibility.
