He stole it
$36,500 is a steal on the silver Viper. Silver is a rare color. Just a steal, especially if he has both tops. I have an RT/10 Hard top stand for sale if he is interested. It is the safest way to store the top. Let me know - I paid $300 for it and I'll take $275. They are $350 new if you can find one. I don't think they make these any more.
If you have a GN or a Turbo TA , they are fast. Scary fast is a term a putzy driver like me uses. And it's really not the speed etc. that is the issue, or the HP. It's the torque. At any speed or and gear. The huge Tires can be spun at any speed and that's what I am finding hard to get under control. It's why many people wreck these things. It is so different from anything I have ever owned. It is just hard to explain if you have never owned one or driven one for any length of time. I have only put 1700 miles on a Viper so I am still learning.
That is one draw back to the Viper. Everyone EXPECTS them to be fast. No one expected my 71 Grand Prix to be fast. Or my 66 Tri-Power 2+2 with a 421 HO and four speed. (should have kept that one). But it was. Heck, even my 67 Firebird with a 400 in it and red line tires is far more predictable than my 2001 viper was.
For me, I have not driven anything like a Viper. They are just different, especially the Gen I's and Gen II's like the 1999 Silver. That was a GREAT deal. Let me know how he likes it.
Sincerely,
John
