Seems like several Viper owners also have a Corvette. Here's a shot of my 1968 427 400hsp coupe. I guess you can see I'm partial to Blue Big Block Coupes.

I actually just purchased a 1996 Grand Sport. Owned a C5 Z06 before my Vipers:

#456/1000 1 of 40 Coupes with red guts and F51 Suspension.

My '73 L-48. I'm the third owner, the lady I bought it from bought it used in 1974. It's 99% original and unrestored. I added the wheels and sidepipes because C3s are supposed to have Torque Thrusts and sidepipes. I put on the front bumper skin too because the original was missing.

L5 Fender flares, always looked great on the C5 Z's. not sure if you remember the car but I shot a friends car for Corvette Enthusiast Magazine a few years ago (Yellow Z with a big ECS procharger on it). Had L5's and huge iForged lips in the rear.

After seven Vipers I'm currently Viperless, here is my most recent and my current 427 Corvette.

Beautiful examples of the other American Beast! What's funny though is when I have to explain in detail how come my 4 door 6 speed Viper Truck bus lengths my 6 speed Vette!!! :saw:

Here's more of my FRC. They are actually T2 Fenders ;-)
I was one of the OG test cars :-)
Much smoother then L5 IMO. Not as much of a Bushwacker truck flare look.

I have a white 2011 base coupe as a daily driver. ...Have tracked it a few times.
No pics, as it looks like all the other 8 million of them.

I find it interesting that Viper guys have Corvettes as a second or alternate car for variety.
But Corvette guys don't ever have a Viper for a second car.

Hmmmmmm.

Not the greatest pics, just a few I had on my phone at the moment. 2003 50th anniversary package edition. Sold after the Viper was delivered. And an 82 Collectors Edition with 26000 miles. Previously had a 75 I got after high school graduation and like a dumbass I sold my AAR Cuda ($1600 at that time) to pay a years worth of insurance on :( and a 78 which was my first new car. 15201521152215231524

Have had several Vettes in the past but by far the fav was my new 1996 Grand Sport Coupe with the red interior and 330 HP. It was very reliable and added performance headers and exhaust. Fast for the times. Bought it new in 1996 but traded it in for my first Viper in 1999. Wished I still had it as the values on those are holding nicely. Same car as above from FLATOUT.

If you want to be reunited let me know and I'll make you a deal on mine. Sounds like yours was extremely similar to #456. Mine has Hooker headers, high flow cats and the B&B triflow exhaust, fantastic sounding car. 24k miles, red interior, new rubber, new clutch master with fresh Motul fluid, new O2 sensors, and a full 3 stage paint correction (almost done working on it every night after the baby goes to bed lol).

Or if anyone else is interested in a 96 GS with no stories shoot me a PM.
