Hello all,

First time Viper owner here. Came out of a 2012 GT500 and had my mind set on a Vette until I came across this leftover new 2013 GTS at an irresistible price. Wow am I glad I waited! This Gen V is simply a different class of car from anything I have ever driven before. Everything from the exhaust note to the interior to the gawkers on the highway screams exotic. Despite the "Viper reputation" I find it easier to drive fast than the Shelby ever was, and the only difficult thing is keeping the right foot somewhat in check until I get through the break in miles...

We actually bought it a couple weeks ago and have been to a few car shows/cruise nights here in NW Indiana, and while it is refreshing to be 1 of 2 Vipers at most compared to 50 Corvettes and Mustangs, I'm hoping there are some events locally where we can meet some fellow owners and get involved in the community.

Excuse me sir, don't you mean "the fastest"?

Great buy and beautiful color combo. 100% correct on the reputation aspect. I just met another Gen V owner that drives his to work in business clothes and everything. Anyone who says it's difficult to drive needs to stick with a Honda civic and give up on cars. The amount of attention it gets will never ease up so I hope you enjoy it!
