They belong on 911 turbos primarily. They look good on Vipers. They look good on 'Vettes. The more I look at them, the more I like them on S2000s. There are a few cars I could name that they would look good on. But a family sedan is NOT one of them.
Sure, you can have an opinion... but in my opinion, your opinion is wrong

There're quite a few kids living at home that drive STis and Evos right? This Viper is right in the same price range. It's not that ridiculous.

You must be confused with what I said. In no way am I giving this guy crap for owning a Viper and living at home....as for me, I would much rather be "independent" and own a Corolla.

True, it still has a funny sound to it though.

no I wasnt confused,I was just asking a simple question. It just didnt make any sense to ask why he was still living at home,and owning a viper at 20.Or for that matter,what his priorities were/are.Maybe his priority right now,is to get a nice car,and go to college,or get a nice car before he moves out.

im glad you are pro-independent,but I think more and more people are looking too deep into this kid's life,and reasoning for owning this particular car.




to the OP : congrats on getting a car 90% of this board can not own.It doesnt matter if its not a new viper,or the "Best" model.Its still a viper,and its nice car.A few more pieces of work,and it will be even better.just remember though,whenever you get something nice,there will always be a hater,or 5000.that lets you know you are doing something right,most of the time.

i am truly blown away by the negativity on this board.
its a sad sad sad day when someone posts a pic of a 750 $ honda that might one day break 200 hp - and they get "clean ride", "sweet car", etc..


but then one of our peers gets a mother fucking viper and everyone says "interiors suck","youll wreck it", or "its ugly"

fuck all of you haters. its a god damn viper.

leave the kid alone. I guarantee you that 85% of this people who posted in this thread can not afford to go buy a 35000 dollar car RIGHT NOW.

and wether his parents helped or not, who gives a fuck? Let him live his life.

you live yours.
