Impatient owner-to-be from Florida

[unomas78]

Hi all. Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. My name is Greg, and I have considered a Viper as my dream car since I was 15. So I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a 2015 about four weeks ago, a Stryker Orange GTS.

SRT has told me I am D1 with an estimated arrival date of March 29th, but I am mentally preparing myself for it to arrive even later. Until then, reading these forums has been the only thing that has kept me sane. It is exciting to see such a lively owner community.

All of this waiting around is really wearing me out!

[Vprbite]

No such thing as a patient owner to be. If you weren't impatient we would be worried there was something wrong with you. Congrats on your purchase. Waiting is the hardest part. As soon as it arrives though you will say "worth it!"

[The_Cave_Man]

congrats on the purchase. could be worse for you. could have bought it a month ago like i did only to park it immediately and wait for the snow to melt ;(

[swexlin]

Congrats! I've had my Gen 5 since October, and haven't been able to drive it in weeks due to weather, so believe me, I know (and we all know) impatient. When you get it, it will be WELL worth the wait!

[Nine Ball]

Those of us that ordered the first Gen 5 cars built had to wait 9+ months. No sympathy here :)

Congrats on the new Viper though!

[XSnake]

Congrats on the new car. Feel free to PM me anytime with any questions or just to grab lunch, etc... We are also lucky to have a good Viper Tech in the area as well at Fields CJD who is also an owner himself.

What that guy said. I am a Viper Tech in Sanford as well as an owner. When you get it we'd love to see it!

That's great to hear. I am actually in Casselberry, so Fields is even on my side of town.

[98intrigue]

Can't wait to see that color in person. You Orlando guys needs to come over this way sometime...

[unomas78]

That is just sick. Thanks for helping tide me over!

[viper_eddie]

Congratulations on your dream coming true!

[viperboon]

waiting for it is part of the experience, it is like the last part of your normal driving life slowly fading away. Now your viper is hatching out of it's shell, then no one will hear from you for a wile..

[smhog]

Greg, this is a hell of a way to start your Viper ownership. Bravo, that's great.

Slohatch, great pic. I like how they put all three oranges together to show the difference. Thank you.

It's here, it's finally here!

Unfortunately it was late and raining by the time I got out of the dealer, so I haven't had a chance to take any nice pictures yet. Although I can say that the paint is easily the best I have ever seen on a car.

Even being relatively late at night with almost no traffic, someone still raced up beside me on the drive home to take pictures of the car. This is going to be a whole lot of fun.

[venum4u]

That right there, is my favorite of all of the new colors. Your car is beautiful

[Aspirations57]

Congrats...........Beautiful color.........Drive safe....ENJOY...

[swexlin]

Congrats and welcome. Gorgeous car.

[GBS]

Congrats! Don't sound like to long of a wait. Sounds like you'll have it before rainy season.

[goodee]

That color must look amazing in the sunshine because it looks good in your garage.

[98intrigue]

Hell yeah! That looks awesome! I don't think anyone has posted pictures of this color in sunlight, so I fully expect you to do so today since it's not supposed to rain (at least here in the Tampa area).

[MoparBoyy]

congrats! I got your membership sign up in my email! i'm very local to you, can't wait to see the car in person!

[daytonprowler]

Very nice!

[Leslie]

Simply gorgeous !

[unomas78]

Thanks everyone for their kind words!

It's great there are so many members around central FL... I'm always game to meetup if anyone wants to. Just let me know!

Now to fix the problem of nobody having any proper sunlit photos of Stryker Orange...

STRYKER ORANGE is so damn HOT that the dealership keeps a FIRE EXTINGUSHER at the ready near the rear quarter panel just in case the car Self-Immolates from its own extreme HOTNESS!

I don't need no stinkin' 8000 colors, I want Just ONE ^^^^

Great pics. Had plugs and oil change done there today and sat in the Stryker Red one in pic...Very nice!!!...fell in love with the Blue with Black stripe GT in the pic. We will see !

[MoparBoyy]

Nice car man, looks awesome

[v10enomous]

That looks great ! Can't wait to see one out in the wild.

[98intrigue]

This is exactly the kind of picture I've been wanting to see of this color!

[Scott250r]

WOW! That color and them wheels.... very nice

[hmerrittiii]

Nice, Nice

[Lawrenzo]

It would be cool to see a Copperhead side by side with the Stryker.

[ViperDog]

That's a pretty dam upscale look with the Sepia interior. The Venom wheels look particularly good with that color.

[lochnessmonster]

Beautiful car!!!!! Congrats! :t15197:

[Bad Brad]

I have a 1st gen. Black in color, I am waiting for my $$$$$ to add up , hope to take the plunge for a new Viper in a few more years!!!
Love my 1st gen. now have to move up to fifth or sixth generation Viper, I have also selected Stryker Orange, will put some carbon fiber stripes on the car for added bling!!!! I still draw a lot of attention with my 1st gen. you certainly will with your 5th gen.

Good luck, drive carefully, you have nothing to prove to anyone!!! Just let them all drool over your car!!!!! Bad Brad Brooksville, FL11900
