First Viper But Not My First Snake

[Mcoop]

Hello Viper owners. 2 weeks ago I took delivery of a 2002 RT/10 with 30,000 miles. Found it down south and had it shipped to me here in southern NJ. I have been wanting a Viper for a long time but I also had an affection for the 1965 Shelby Cobra. I was fortunate enough to purchase a Superformance MKIII Shelby Cobra replica in 2015. That car was a blast. It weighed 2400 lbs and had a 460 ci Ford Racing crate engine rated at 550 hp and 535 ft/lbs of torque.

Fast forward to 2021. I recently sold the Cobra and purchased the Gen 2. Once I knew the Cobra was sold I started my quest for a Gen 2. I cannot wait to get behind the wheel. Here in Jersey, we have to make an appointment with motor vehicle for titling and registration and I cannot get an appointment until May 8th. So I have been unable to enjoy the Viper on the road. Looking forward to gaining knowledge of a new snake and having my questions answered.

Amen to that!
