    Bought one, my first!

    Hello Everyone. Just thought I'd introduce myself. I recently bought my first Viper and so far I am extremely impressed.

    It is an Adrenaline Red SRT with leather seats and red seat belts. I bought it used with 130 miles on it. I am looking forward to modding this car as I haven't really modded any of my recent cars.

    I traded a 2014 Porsche Cayman S as I thought it was a little boring, great car but boring. I also currently own 2013 BMW M5 which is currently kept stock.

    Here are some pics.

    You will never be bored with a Viper, I promise you! And with your M5, you've got your comfy luxo cruiser when you're in the mood for that. Great combo, congrats and welcome.

    Thanks Everyone! Just have to get used to all the attention this car gets. I think I am going to change my exhaust as a first mod.

    Anyone local to Atlanta with gen V and an aftermarket exhaust?

    How Bout That, a RED Viper on a Porsche-BMW GUY !

    Come On Down to SEBRING, about a 8-9 hour drive from ATL(?) Weekend of Nov 21-23.
    Free admission, free parade laps ON TRACK behind a Gen 5 Viper pace car, lots of race action, Viper snake pit parking.

    Immerse yourself in Vipering......

    ps: We work with a great Viper shop in Alpharaetta, helps maintain a One Lap Viper and several Road ATL Vipers.
    We can offer exhaust options, and maybe a listen in the GA shop next week, !

    It's definitely different. Loving it so far.

    May not make it to Sebring but I can definitely meet you at the shop and listen to some exhaust. Will you guys be driving down to Sebring?

    Does it have the 2 piece stoptech rotors on it? The leather seats combined with the red seat belts makes me think it's a Track Pack car but the rims aren't the Track Pack rims. Something tells me the original owner wasn't a fan of the Track Pack rims and had them swapped. Regardless it's a beautiful ride!

    No 2 piece rotors which was unfortunate. I do have a question regarding the stoptech rotors. Most companies are selling them for roughly $3k but when you go to Stoptech website and search by stoptech part #'s, they are much cheaper. Any difference?

    for example. This is what pulls up on their website

    Brake Discs OE Type Slotted Brake Rotor 2 Pc Discs Front Left
    126.63074
    1
    Brake Discs OE Type Slotted Brake Rotor 2 Pc Discs Front Right
    126.63073
    1
    Brake Discs OE Type Slotted Brake Rotor 2 Pc Discs Rear Left
    126.63076
    1
    Brake Discs OE Type Slotted Brake Rotor 2 Pc Discs Rear Right
    126.63075
    1
    Now if you go to amazon and search through part #, they are roughly $358 each. Whats the difference between these and the factory ones?

    More info
    Outer Dia: 355 mm
    Height: 59.3
    Nom Thick: 32 mm
    min Thick: 30 mm
    Hub Reg: 73.5mm
    Bolt Size: 14.3 mm
    Bolt Circle: 6 x 114.3 mm
    Weight: 17.95 lbs
