    Good job!! Nothing wrong with putting on miles....the real value of these cars is the enjoyment of driving them.

    Thanks! And yes, some of the comments are like "Oh, nice Corvette/Mustang that you have there" LOL. Most people are shocked when I tell them, that the car is 20 years old. I think from a design perspective it is timeless. Dan Gale (if I am not mistaken he did the design) did such a great job!!!

    I bought mine with 28K on it, should it have a salvage title?

    Drive them and enjoy them, amen! I have 58000 on my 01 and almost 65000 on my 98. Driven daily if it’s not raining.

    I wonder how that all got started? The 911, R8, GTR, ect... don't have people counting miles nearly as bad as you see with vipers. I'm driving it! Life is short.

    If you never sell the car the only one that's going to care about the miles is you..

    I saw a heritage edition Ford GT listed with 22 miles. Sure it's 1/2 million bucks but seriously? Doesn't gasoline go bad? Seriously what does such an owner do with respect to the fuel expiring? Keep 1/4 tank of gas and drain it out annually?

    Not to worry, just drive backwards for a while... it's been done.

    I figure you are kidding, but just in case.....With the electric speedometers the tone ring on the trans output shaft is not directional, so it outputs pulses independent of direction. To your speedometer there is no difference between forward motion and rearward.
