My boss happens to have a 99 Viper and he loves Mustangs.


So the other day we went to lunch and swapped rides.

His car is mostly stock but damn it was cool driving around that roadster.

Hammering a V10 is really REALLY COOL!!!

I offered to trade him, but he said no...:(

That sounds like fun. I would just love to have the opportunity to drive one some day.

Ever since I had the opportunity to drive a '98 GTS, I desperately want one...gotta be blue with white stripes though.

What an awesome car...I've also driven a yellow '95 RT/10, but the 2 cars are vastly different.

BTW: The '98 was a local rental...$299/day. I'm not sure if the guy is still doing it though.

$299/day! Yipes! I'll rent the Supra for $200/day. And it'll run from those Vipers as if they were VW bugs...

You just provide the rear tires.
*ahem*

It's all about torque & velocity, baybee.

That Viper has the mufflers removed and some intake work along with a aluminum radiator. But it was a roadster and man was it sweet.

He is a cool guy and wants to take it to the track real soon.

I will post if I can talk him into going to bandi some t&t night.

And maybe I can sneak it to the springs for lunch one day!

I drove a 94 RT/10. Man it felt sweet. I also drove a Testarossa, an F355 Spyder, numerous porshes, and a few hummers.

Yo JOHN!

I have now decided that anything with 10cyl is cool in my book.

I have a Hummer....well actually mine is a M998 HMMWV(High mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicle) and im only signed for it. Id love to drive a civilian one and see the difference. When i went and looked at one at a car show it had the same 6.5 diesel engine, all the body panes were made of the same thing, the hatch and doors had the same latches. The only major difference was the interior, which rocked.;RoCkOn;

While we were transporting them from the dealer, we were going to hit up some gas stations just because we know damn well they wouldn't fit. Imagine the looks on people's faces when a little brown guy pulls up in a black hummer and puts 1.00 in gas. :p
