Traded in the Viper - picked up a 2SS!

AbsolutHank · 04-17-2016, 08:50 PM

It was time for a change. I've had numerous Vipers over the last 7 years, but it was time to get into something newer, smoother and with more amenities. I had the Viper sold privately, but did a courtesy trade in at a dealer in Pennsylvania to get a $2400 tax savings! I had the opportunity to get into my old white modded ZL1, but after I test drove a Camaro6, I knew I'd have to give up that power for the updated car! The 2SS package is just incredible, as is the LT1 even at stock power levels.

I've been torn between Summit White and Hyper Blue, but it simply came down to Adrenaline Red not being offered in the Blue. I thought about buying one anyways and swapping the interior with another member, but figured someone who actually bought red wouldn't want to give it up.

My car is a Summit White/Adrenaline Red M6 2SS. It also has NPP, Nav, Sunroof, Gray Split Spokes and Black Bowties. It's already got 400 miles on it, and its been awesome so far. I literally stopped at my tint guy on the way home from the dealer and got 18% installed...other than that, bone stock for the week...

I plan to add the GM Splitter and Lowering Kit this week or next. I'll paint the calipers red and possibly add 20mm wheel spacers as well. I always run aftermarket wheels, and this car will be no different, but I really like the finish on these split spokes, so I'll keep them for a bit I suppose

Lemme know what you think!

And one of my Viper cause it was such a bad bitch!

Black out the side markers for sure

18% all around? Windshield too?

Looks fan-f'ng-tastitic

Haha...I forgot to add, I actually ordered those from BigWorm Thursday night once I knew the deal would go down Saturday. So they'll go on this week too! I hope ShowStoppers does their painted LEDs again like the Camaro5 - I loved those on my ZL1!

Nah, windshield is stock. I got my Corvette impounded right off the road because the dick State Trooper wouldn't let me drive it anymore, or even peel it right on the side of the road

Blackdevil77 · 04-17-2016, 09:27 PM

If I was able to find one just like that, except for the sunroof, I'd probably buy it on the spot. We have the same taste, looks great!

It's like a rolling circus man! The Viper is the only quasi-exotic car you can buy for roughly $40k. It's an unusual market for sure. The car is small, loud and fast. It's basically the perfect toy. I just wanted something more refined this time around.
