New owner! 09 ACR

[Smoky]

Hi folks. Just a quick intro. I just took delivery of my 09 ACR yesterday! Looks like I'm just in time to become part of this new family! Happy to be here.

Short history: I love cars and have owned a variety from Lotus to Noble to Porsche to Lambo and many in between. I've always loved Vipers since their intro in the 90s and after a day of ownership I'm kicking myself for not having ridden the snake sooner. I really love my Viper!

I'm a usability engineer by trade and also the president of the Baton Rouge Cars and Coffee meets.

Thanks to Maurice for this great new club and community.

Looking forward to making new friends!

Excellent buy, and being a past Lotus owner, I can can say enjoy your ACR and relish in the reliability and performance the Viper platform provides.

Smoky,

Congratulations on your new Viper. I also have a 2009 ACR. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine. Have had it for a little over two years and am just as excited as the day I got it. Post a picture. Would love to see the color.

Welcome. In for pics! What kind of Lotus? I have a soft spot for them, though they are nearly exact opposite on paper!

Another ex-Loti owner here, with an 09 ACR. (See my avatar for pic)

If your Viper is all red, and since it has a 6-speed manual, you might even describe it as a Baton Rouge !!!

Welcome
