I’m an old timer going back to the days of single threads and Jon and Maurice.

From 92 to 2010 I had 11 Vipers . I ordered a 13 but wasn’t happy with what I saw and cancelled. For the last several years, notwithstanding two 2010s I’ve only had a 92.

I started watching the 17s and saw what Wood and others were doing in sales and got interested though I waited until it was almost too late. The thought of a first and last year got the best of me and Tomball/ Bernie came through.

Sadliy, Ive only driven it to the garage, My detailer , who does a lot of high end exotics said the fit, finish and paint are extraordinary.

My kids, now in their 20s love it because it reminds them of the earlier Vipers.

More later .

Do your kids need an older brother? I'm up for adoption. Will even park your up coming Ford GT for you.

Ha. The GT will be awhile. They moved the dates back. But no rush

It’s awesome, you’ll love it! I only have 14 miles on mine but that’s because I had another 17’ I drove this season and sold. Can’t wait to get this one out on the tarmac.

Congrats. Shame it's winter here, and no Viper driving for a while. Once you are able to get it on the road, you'll love it!

Great decision and another exquisite addition to your collection. Did you end up with a GTS-R? Time to update the signature line :)

Haha. I know that one. Sometimes it's better to ask for permission than it is to ask for forgiveness. Ha.

How come all the words and letters in those photos are backwards except the 8 on your GT? Ha Ha...
