Ownership Verified: Viper's 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 (A 17+ Year Dream Come True!)

[Viper007Bond]

Yes, I finally bought my dream car! No proper proof picture yet (I'll do that this weekend) but I know all of the IRC folks are clammering for pictures so I'm making the thread early.

I spent pretty much all day today driving it. Put roughly 70 miles on it (barely any freeway) and used half a tank (aka ~7 gallons) worth of gas. Glug glug. :lol:

Click for bigger. I especially like the first one.

Drove up the observatory at Mt. St. Helens with 73 other cars this weekend (mostly Challengers). Here's a good photo from the drive:

Great photos taken by a co-worker:

EDIT 03/24/12: Proper proof picture:



And here's a picture showing rear tire width vs. my iPhone 4. Tires are 275/35-18 in the front and 345/30-19 in the rear. That's 13 inches wide!




EDIT 03/26/12:

My keys can beat up your keys.

Finally, a truly appropriate use of this:

Congrats on living the dream.

Edit: Just watched the video, I like how you are sitting the car like you belong, with the arm on the sill, like a boss

 

[ashspet]

Congrats

Now, I get to drive if I come to visit?

 

[Vette Boss]

Congrats!

This must be a nightmare for all the Prius-loving liberals around Portland. :lol:

 

[rickhamilton620]

Awesome car, Congrats. I like the color.

 

[Nugget]

It's about damn time!

Congrats -- I'm so happy for you. Livin' the dream...

How long until you get less than 5mpg?

Love the blue.

Congratulations dude. Lots of hard work paid off for you. I hope you have many happy hours driving it. Keep this thing from being wrapped around a pole... PLEASE!

 

[chaos386]

I wasn't paying much attention in IRC, so I thought you were just doing a track day in a viper, not that you had actually bought one!

Congrats, dude!

 

[t3h r0x0rs]

Congrats Viper. The car looks amazing

Now all you need to do is become a British secret agent and you can live up to your nick name.

Congratulations! Car looks great. Keep it right side up and pointed in the right direction.

 

[shellygrrl]

Congrats!

 

[MadCat360]

Awesome!

So, is it everything you thought it would be?

 

[Labcoatguy]

Well, not before you drive.

 

[Nabster]

I approve of this. Now just avoid people wanting you to do stupid things with it.

 

[Hbriz]

Congrats on finally realising a dream! SO MUCH WIN!

I put 200km on my car in the first 2 days, none of it on a freeway, and it's only a Clio!

 

[Topgearfanatic]

Congratu-fucking-lations! I really have no idea what I would with myself with that beast.

 

[Sevs753]

Holy crap, that is a stunning car. Blue is definitely an under appreciated color for cars. Congrats!
