    New owner in Illinois

    Got my first Viper in November and just joined the VOA. I sold my 348 last year and went looking for a Viper. What a difference, this thing is quick! I got to run at Road America and Autobahn in Joliet last year, Can't wait to get the Viper on track and she what she can do.
    Looking forward to spring and meeting some new people. I'm in Elgin, anyone in the area?? IMG_5879 (1).jpg

    Thanks! It's been fun so far, but I've only driven it 6 times. Been working on it, it was in despite need of cleaning and maintenance. I changed all the fluids and new sway bar links and bushings and made a driveshaft loop also a new power steering pulley and bracket. Still lots to do to get ready for spring.

    Welcome and beautiful car. There are some owners in your area. The monthly meet [first Wednesday of every non-winter month] is pretty close to you, its at Pinstripes in Barrington. Should start in April, I think.

    im in Algonquin area off of Randall near 62.

    Have only seen one viper in my area. A yellow with black stripes. See him a lot on Sunday mornings. I just picked mine up last week, so I'm new to the group as well.
