Default Got a new car, pics inside (C5 and Viper content)

I picked up the viper last week and am trying to sell my FRC so I figured I'd take pics of both before the C5 goes. I absolutely love the viper so far, all of the big mods (listed in sig) are already done to it so I think I'll leave it as it for a while. Enough talk, on to the pics.

























Just the viper:

Nice pics. That Viper is badass, but so is that FRC. Too bad your not keeping both, they make a mean duo.

That Viper looks mean, much more intimidating than the FRC. Love the CCWs!

I'd like to but I really shouldn't so one has to go and as much as I love the vette I think we can all agree that the viper is the better car.

You lost me on the first comment. The viper is a '98. They make 450hp 490tq at the flywheel stock, with the mods it has it should make around that at the wheels now.

Thanks man, how are you liking yours now that you've had it a while? Is it stock and if so do you plan on keeping it that way?

Yeah the drive home was pretty fun. Thanks again for the advice you gave. I hope your gen 4 is treating you well.

The rarity of it was part of the attraction. This thing gets so many looks. In the week I've had it I've probably had at least a dozen compliments, several people taking pics, and one person asking what year my maserati was.

Funny, how I think the vette is much better looking now that I'm older.

I agree, it is pretty good looking. In fact, I think it's good looking enough that you should buy it from me.

That's the best and worst part of owning one...I've never gotten so much attention for just driving around. I'm hoping the cops don't give me too much grief about my tint, because it at least affords some privacy.

Right now the attention is fun but it's only been a week. Maybe I'll get tired of it after a while. Buying a red one didn't help either of us though. Maybe it'll be easier for you to make nice nice with the cops since yours is stock and can't be heard from 5 blocks away.

Yeah...after having a Camaro that sounded like the coming of the end of the world, I'm going to want to keep the noise level with this one to a minimum. I feel much more free to have fun when I know every cop in a 5 miles radius hasn't been alerted to my presence.

Awesome upgrade man, that generation of vipers is one of the most beautiful designs ever created.

My wife would kill me if I didn't, although I did finish the somewhat botched stereo upgrade that was attempted by the previous owner. The most I could see at this point is basic bolt-ons...somewhere around the 580-600 RWHP point would be acceptable, and that can be done with a Mopar PCM, headers, and a ported intake manifold.
