    There's no doubt that the ACR E's are going to continue going for a steep premium. I see prices retracting a little, but nothing to where they were a couple years ago. The closer we move to EV's the more any of our Vipers are going to be worth. They are a very low volume build coupled with a NA V10. Homerun! The only thing that bothers me is the lack of parts. Thanks FCA.

    Definitely saw some deals that make me kick myself for what I paid for mine. I think long term though, they'll continue to go up, or at the least, hold value

    I only see the ACR Es, becoming the next Ford GTs

    YES!! I'm trying to get simple parts and dealers are telling me they're "obsolete" with no estimated backorder time. This car was last out of production in 2017. Drives me crazy. I have better luck getting parts for a lotus

    I counted 34, and none strike me as bargains compared to 3 months ago.

    Between crypto and stonks, not surprising people are selling though.

    What parts are you looking for that you can't find?

    The value of these cars are going up so much that it scares me to drive the thing. It's a bummer, when I had my Gen IV ACR, I drove the living crap out of it and had a blast. With the Gen V ACR-E, I take it out every once in a while but I'm so paranoid about everything that I baby it. Gawking drivers on the highway who swerve into me, idiots at the grocery store who let their shopping cars go runaway, badly designed curb entrances that are begging to rip the front splitter off, etc. It's really hard to drive something around that's worth as much as a house in some places.

    Yeah, with that said, unless you have some sort of true collectable, low mileage, etc., I seriously doubt it will continue to climb at a significant rate.

    I'm keeping my car because I fucking love the damn thing to death. I've never heard more people say "I never should have sold that damn car" as they do about Vipers.

    I unfortunately haven't been able to enjoy the car as much, I probably bought a poor example

    I've commented on this exact phenomenon several times. I've been "that guy" making that comment about motorcycles and I refuse to put myself in a position to be "that guy" again.

    FWIW, when I was in college in 1993, I went cross border through Windsor, Ontario to pick up a 1-of-21 Kawasaki ZX-7RR homologation special street legal racebike. I went through hell to find it, kiss enough ass to be able to acquire it, bust my hump to line up the financing, and learn the import process for DOT/EPA (spoiler: hire an import broker), get it registered in the US, etc., etc. It was my baby -- it was awesome to look at, bristling with tech, and I was comfortable and fast on it. I raced it for a year and sold it. Worst decision ever and I knew it at the time.

    I also know this, right now... at this time --- if you have a Gen V that you love (and especially if you have an ACR), do not ever sell it.

    Exactly how I feel. I loved my C7GS- it was amazing on the track. So easy to drive hard. I sold it and miss it, but I certainly don't regret selling it. It was a great car, but not a special car. I definitely feel very different about my GTS, and it's "just" a GTS (with really nice suspension ).

    That diffuser with the ta wing is too nice. Speaking of booty, anyone here with a black taillight plaque?

    ^^^ Wow, that really is a terrific booty. Can't think of too many other cars that could match it. Mac Senna maybe? Not much else.

    Definitely tough to beat a Gen V Viper booty, although the booty on my recently acquired Ford GT isn’t too shabby either.
