Creepy lurker finally becomes Viper owner...

**timberwolf** · 03-25-2015

Hi Guys,
After well over a year of just reading and stalking this and "other" forums, I finally pulled the trigger. I've had the privilege of working with the man himself, Bernie Katz at Viper Exchange to source my dream Viper. My 2013 M5 gets picked up today for the long journey to Texas. Then, the Viper hitches a ride back.

Anyways, after most of my friends and colleagues have said "nooooo... don't buy a Viper..." I was certain that it was the right move.lol I've had some exceptional cars, but I feel that this one will elevate the bar and truly is the most exclusive.
Recent past cars:
BMW F10 M5 - 800HP
Porsche 997 Turbo - 600HP
C6 Z06 - Stock
Shelby GT500 - 800HP
C6 Z06 - Stock

Anyway, here are the details on the new ride:
15 GT in white with Sepia leather/alcantara seats.
The car has the carbon interior which I adore.
Extras I ordrered:
- Arrow PCM Controller - Cause stock sucks

- Viper Exchange lowering caps
- Carbon rear spoiler and front splitters
(I'll install all of this stuff once I see the actual height and get it into my shop!)

I think Matt Farrah summed it up perfectly here in this video at 50 seconds in.

Thanks guys, finding a color I liked was by far the hardest part of the entire process. Countless hours after my wife went to sleep, I'd sit there trying to figure out the best option and then finding a car that I liked/could afford!

White is always a great choice, especially on the Gen V's! Shows off all the sexy lines and vents... mmmmm.... brb gotta take care of something >.>

Congrats! If your friends don't get it just take them out on a road course...they'll be instant converts. If you don't track yourself then you can always show off the lovely paint LOL

Agree there is nothing more fun then when you hit the road course in one of these.

**Dman** · 03-25-2015

Awesome combo. That sepia really grew on me, love it with white, sporty and classy at the same time.

You're going to love the PCM. If you can only do 1 thing, it should be the PCM, IMO. Congrats and may the wait go by quickly, and welcome aboard.

**J TNT** · 03-25-2015

Congrats and welcome aboard ! Great choice in colour !

**Space Truckin** · 03-25-2015

Congratulations and welcome, great looking ride! I too am a sucker for factory interior CF

It will see road course, auto x, drag strip and roll racing.

I wanted something elegant, yet aggressive and with a nice enough interior for a dressed up date night. I think I found it.

Yeah it was a must!

**swexlin** · 03-25-2015

What a beautiful car. This is my 2nd Viper, and the Gen 5 is the best one yet. You'll love it.

**Eachey51** · 03-25-2015

Wow, The car is gorgeous! Congratulations. Btw, that second interior shot is money

**Timnineside** · 03-25-2015

Nuff said! Thanks!

Glad to see you elevate yourself from us creepy lurkers. Do give us your observations after break-in and mods. I'd love to see them with the past cars you have owned.
