    A dream came true! New owner from Dubai!

    I have wanted this car for as long as I could remember! And the dream has finally come true!

    I owned a 600whp G37S that I thought I'd never sell because of all the money I dumped on it:

    But when the Viper deal popped up, I couldn't let it pass. 2014 Stryker Red GTS with 2500 miles on the clock! This is definitely the best car I have ever driven! God bless American Muscle!

    Now I just need to sort out the horn issue and the exhaust heat drama.

    Cheers from Dubai!
    Sam

    Welcome and congrats Sam. I felt the same way after purchasing my first Viper. Nothing I have ever owned even comes close. Beautiful color by the way.

    Congrats! I love stryker red. Too bad they make you put a front license plate on her.

    Thanks man. I don't even want to think of my next car, it's all downhill from here (unless it's a Gen VI? haha)

    That left a burn in my heart to be honest. Look at how they mounted that plate holder!! :'(

    Ugh! They drilled holes into your front bumper?? Ouch. Beautiful car though!! Maybe the only color that looks great at night, in a parking garage.

    Congratulations. And yes that is heartbreaking about the plate. I guess since you always have to keep one on there, it won't cause any problems. Still sucks though on such a beautiful car.

    If you ever get another one, get a front plate mount from partsrack. It clips on and doesn't do any damage and can be removed and put back on whenever you feel like it.

    Enjoy it. I am sure you can run up the speed a lot more than we can in the states.

    Congratulations, great looking car!

    It's a common known fact on this forum that red cars are faster!

    Thanks Gentlemen.

    I find myself looking for the lamest excuse to go and drive the car and purposely taking longer routes. I think I need therapy haha

    Funny thing is a lot of people can't seem to figure out what the car is. There's always a crowd of people at the gas station making guesses. I saw someone sneak up to my car the other day just to take a pic of the front logo.

    Yeah it's a viper thing. I didn't believe it before I bought mine, but this car seems to baffle people. The general populace knows almost nothing about the viper... Mine is an 03 and everyone thinks it's brand new and cost 200k... I've ridden in lambos that got half the attention, it's weird... Car guys seem to like them a LOT more than euro cars too, due to the "reputation" of the car, no nannies, massive engine, no frills just thrills! Congrats on the car, although Orange is actually faster than red, ignore VprBite, he lies!!!

    I recognize your screen name from the G35driver/myg37/my350z/the370z forums. I had a single turbo G35 and a single turbo 370Z. Glad to see a familiar name over here. Congrats on the purchase!

    Haha no way! What are you doing here

    Yes I joined the dark side, the G37 was cool and a blast but this just makes it feel like a Prius (don't tell that to the guys though I'm still admins on myG37)

    I do not. As a man with a 10" c**k I have no need to lie.

    And ask any physicist, the Doppler effect states that an object moving away from you will appear red...ergo all red Vipers you have seen are moving away from you due to their incredible rate of speed. Simple science, really.

    I don't even... I don't even know where to start with this statement...

    I will start it then, now a red car is fast, but once you paint it black it moves so fast the light can not catch it to reflect, therefor all you see is the black shadow left by the car as it vanishes FACT...

    I know I edit Wikipedia for a living...



    seriously nice car and the holes in the bumper that will buff right out..

    Makes perfect sense. Glad I opted for the Stryker Red.

    Just wait till you out your first mod on the car, Sam. You will be hooked for sure after that. But it's the best addiction in the world. Maybe not the cheapest. But the best. Good to have you here. We have fun teasing abiut colors but we are all Viper brothers and sisters here. We are some of the few people on this earth lucky enough to get to experience these amazing machines.

    I've been down that road trust me! On my previous car, I just wished it was a little louder, just an innocent catback was all I wanted. And that's how it all started. When I had sold it last month, the only thing that was left stock on it was the chassis, some body panels and some interior bits lol

    Apparently we are all wrong, i just checked the paint of the car has no effect on the speed of the car, just an effect on the driver in the car, sorta like waving a red flag in front of a bull. red cars have this effect on the driver not the car, the color
    may make you drive it faster but not faster over all..

    the hoods subconscious effect on the driver as he stares down the road for endless miles..

    red hood, drive faster

    black hood, drive cool.

    orange hood, drive safely.

    yellow hood, drive happier.

    green hood, drive crazy

    purple hood, drive royally.

    blue hood, don't drive at all.
