Hi, *fill-up*...it's been a while !!
I will keep my eyes and ears open for one.
As you know, there weren't all that many produced. By in large, the color scheme was not for everyone! Admittedly, I am quite fond of this model...and, as time has passed, I have become even more fond of this "variant" as I put together the unique color scheme and some Ferrari racing history. How many major manufacturers would have allowed production of a model that was basically a spoof on the hallowed Ferrari racing livery??...complete with a smiling Viper badge where Ferrari would have placed their prancing horse logo "cavallino rampante" (renamed "the dancin' donkey" in some Viper circles).
And before the "horse patrol" gets too worked up...YES, at the time we got our red/yellow '96...we also owned a couple of Ferrari models...one V8, one V12.
I was more than a little surprised when our "Ronald McDonald" Viper whipped the ass of a 355 F1 and 360 without even straining. Did I mention that my Wife was the Viper driver on those occasions ??
On a more serious note, good hunting, *fill-up*.
P.S. The word "spoof" may be understating the sentiment. One might have said "thumbing the nose" or "kiss my Asp". Just sayin'...
