New owner in Wichita, KS!

[SYDWNDR]

Hey everyone! Been drooling over posters and diecasts of Vipers for decades now, and until now the finances didn't allow for me to pull the trigger.

Just picked up a 1994 Red RT/10 with 40k miles on it, and I love it!

Looking forward to getting to know everyone here, and maybe eventually meet in person at some Viper events!

I will post pics when I can get some nice ones taken at some landmarks!

Haha, i'm also an East High Blue Ace. Small world.

congrats sydwndr!

Congratulations! I'm sure the wait has made it even more worthwhile. I came from a 911 so if you're not used to a low-end (high) torque car like this, make sure you take it easy until you get a chance to track it and see what it can do.

[Bill Pemberton]

Cool, bet I graduated before you did , but my sister and brother also went to East High---and they are younger.

Welcome,

If you are in the Omaha area look us up. We have a lot of events planned this year and usually look for a good excuse to get together.

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone!

I've autocrossed for about 10 years, this is my 8th different car to do it in. I'm going to be a lot easier on this car, keeping it as "stock" as possible, and cleaner than the previous 7 cars. I'm used to RWD power, so I shouldn't have any problems keeping the back end in control.

Planning to even hit a few high speed touring events on some tracks. I may head up to Omaha, and even Lincoln, so I'll try to time it with the club events there.

Also, I might try to organize the Vipers in Wichita to start up a "club" type thing, since there isn't one here that I can find.

I've "plasti-dipped" the wheels for now. It's a great way to get a different look, and keep the original wheels as a future option.

I also painted the "Viper RT/10" badges as well...

Going to be "refinishing" the dash, because it's all scraped up. Will post a thread about that later.

Hope to see you all on the forums, and one day in person!

Thanks for posing the pics,...looking good!

My H-spokes were plasti-dipped black as well, then decided to just powder coat them.

You should look in to the Viper only event in Hastings, NE. It's the weekend of June 5th thru the 7th. Vipers only! Autocross and other events!

Great weekend, Vipers from all over! Just an overall fun experience!

Car looks Great!!!

If you want a great Viper only event, the Viper Rendezvous in Hastings June 5th - 7th is the Best Viper only track event in the Midwest!!!!! The event is sold out (45 Vipers), but I was told they might accept 5 more cars (need to call soon). The Oklahoma Region will be bringing 6 cars to this event and will be going past Wichita, so you wanted to caravan with us to Hastings just PM me and we will pick you up along the way.

At think at this point your mind has been made up for you! You are going to be in Hastings the first weekend of June!

Do you think the Jedi mind trick worked everyone?

Got a friend of mine at the local dealership to throw her on the rack and take a look. She's just as nice underneath :) All the fluids changed, and alignment done!
