My '94 Viper and '07 BMW E92 335i Coupe M Sport

This is going to sound a bit weird, but I think I walk by your 335i daily. :blink:

I guess the odds are quite good in a small country..but it's still a bit unsettling.

I suggest a "my other car is a Viper" sticker to show those Audi-cocks with their "Audi parking only" sign. That BMW is ace, well done! :D

If you don't mind me asking, how much are those things from zie Faderland and what sort of taxes are you looking for?

Finland small? Try Mauritius or Bahrain (join #gear if you want to be schooled in smallness)

Yep, that's my car. :)

My brother always takes the advantage of the "Audi parking only" -spots when driving my dad?s Q5. :D

I'm expecting the taxes to be less than 50% of the BMW?s German price. One of the reasons to buy a twin turbo six was to save in taxation over a high emission V8.
The Viper taxation was surprisingly low and in 2007 it wasn?t emission related. The insurance is a whole different story.

This is a pretty good site if you are interested in the car taxation in Finland:

Awesome cars, man! You have major balls for owning a Viper in Europe.

If people want you to 'Ring the car, charge to take them with you to raise money for the tires!

Actually, we've thought about putting up a Mercedes-Benz Parking Only sign in front of the main entrance. Beneficial for both of us as I can park my car there and pry can if/when he takes the W204 you can see in the photos.

Well the Nurburgring isn?t exactly in Finland but if I'd decided to make a trip to Germany sure the 'Ring would be on the to do list.
I'm not going to frequently track the Viper though.

I don't think a sign is needed as you already park there every time.
 
Here are two videos of Viper airstrip runs. The highest speed was 260 km/h (the second vid) at 1500 meters and my best quarter mile was 13.07 s on a damp runway without top.
The first run didn't go very well as a tape we put on the front edge of a hardtop ripped off and caused that terrible sound. Those were the only runs I did with the top on as I was really scared it would fly off.

Excellent, a real Viper on Finalgear. Wheels don't look too bad either. Kudos for actually getting it and living the dream. :thumbup:
 
Great choice on the 335i : )

Time to get it chipped and some small mods like intake & exhaust
 
Wow, just wow. I was expecting a Ram or some other Dodge, but a Viper? Nice!

The BMW is lovely too.
 
Has Viper found this thread yet?
 
Nice cars, but I prefer the older wheels on the Viper, and is it really that hard to shift it (in the videos it looks like you are struggling)? :blink:

Well the clutch is very heavy and long and the shifter isn't exactly short throw but the main thing is I didn't wanna beat my baby. Sure it would be possible to shift it harder.
 
To be honest, I'm more a fan of the modern Viper. ACR especially.

That's not to say I dislike the RT/10, however the BMW M's are just so sexy...

2nd generation GTS Vipers have always been my favorite. If I ever get one, it will be a late model (2000-2002) GTS coupe, either in solid gray or black with white stripes.
