ok So when i went to pick up my car yesterday there was a guy there thats friends w/ PAF that has a 01 GTS yellow w/ black stripes.

we were all taking and BSing, well i asked the guy if i could sit in the car, he said sure go ahead, since ive never sat in one before.

i get in and im checking it out and what not, thinking this is a baddddd bitch. he said "do you wanna take it for a spin down the road" i was like "nah thats ok" hes like " im serious! go take it out and drive it, i dont care!" i said " are you sure,you dont mind" he said "nope, just make sure you come back" lol

so my buddy hopped in shotty who came w/ me to pick up my car and we took it for a spin. HOLY **** *****!!! it was awsome, everyone was looking and staring as i was driving by lol and a lot of thumbs up.

Thumbs up

Nice.

My first intimate Viper experience was back in the summer of 1997 in Florida.
My friend had a black '95 RT/10 and back then that car turned more heads than anything I'd ever seen before and this was in very jaded South Florida where seeing exotics on a daily basis is a common thing.
Unfortunately on only my 2nd time ever in the car while rushing to get home after getting caught in the rain (it comes with no warnings, again quite common in Florida) with no top we wrecked it against a tree, car was totalled.
But don't feel bad, he later had a black '99 GTS, a black '94 RT/10 and then a quick investment flip on a black '03 SRT/10, he likes black cars LOL.

I too get plenty of attention, stares and thumbsup in my bright yellow C6 as well but not quite what a yellow Viper with black stripes might get.

Most do prefer the GTSs but I'm still a fan of the open top cars.
I was jonesing hard for a 2001/2002 yellow RT/10 and if I was physically able to race a manual/clutch I'd have had one years ago.

Got to love people who share haha. My ex girlfriends dad let me take his 08 z06 out for an hour. That was fun. One of my buddies let me take out his Acura NSX for a while. The nsx wasnt that fast but seemed like it cause I was 17 at the time.
Awesome man I would like to take a Viper for a rip sometime.
