'Trust's New Car: Got myself a virgin!

The problem is, that doesn't come close to cutting it around here, at least if you are interested in running anybody, so it will need a little extra bump.

Nice, way back in 99' I went to a DODGE only "test run" event in Orlando where they had a Viper test ride day, you did not get to drive but only ride but it it was still cool, I think I still have the scar on my calf where the side pipes burned me, it is an awesome car though. I understand this year will be the end of the line for the Viper and the Challenger will take over has king of the hill for Fiat, I mean Dodge.

This one is very well priced, but only 96-00 had forged motors, so it was out for me:

I was originally born in the UK, moved to the U.S. in 1997 when I was 11, I live in Oklahoma currently but will most likely be moving to Dallas in the next 6 months.
Sorry, I have no idea why I included the 00 model year in that. 96-99 are the forged motors, 00 was the first year of the hypereutectic pistons. Supposably they went that route because they are lighter. In their defense, it makes sense, it isn't a boosted car from the factory. Although 9.5:1 and a forged motor for 96-99 is begging for FI.
Sorry man, lol. If you do ever come down hit me up!
Care to elaborate? The listing you linked says '00 and you said only 96-00 had forged motors so it was out for you? Reason I asked was I thought it was a great price and showed it to my dad since he's been wanting a GTS for a long time and I figured with a little persuasion I might get him to buy it.

i wasn't aware that vipers had forged motors and thats good to know for a future reference.
btw, im disappointed that you drove 20hrs and you didn't even give us a "car&driver" review...whats wrong with you?
congrats on the new toy and give us some feed back on her. ive heard that they're small inside but are they comfy? i don't know much about vipers and the roe supercharger but i would think there would be a rediculous torque curve with 500+ci
