well that doesn't suck. Hope to see it around KC meets sometime?

I'm sure I'll make it out to a few! Which ones do you go to? I always enjoy meeting fellow forum members.

Great looking car Nick.

Glad to see you didn't end up in jail.

Thanks, when you make it to the Midwest I'll give you a ride.

Have always been a Viper fan. I just wish that they had designed a new firing order crank for the Viper so it would sound better.

I think it may have been the early side pipes that made it sound so "industrial".

The Viper is a V-10, but so is the Hurracan. Is it the crank pin angle that makes the sound so incredibly different? is it the header/pipe design?

They are so affordable compared to the Lambo and they look so good, but I just can't get past the sound. :(

Next time I get a chance I'll record this one. It has full American Racing Longtubes with a catless exhaust; it's the only Viper I've ever heard that doesn't sound like a John Deere.

Pretty good people. Between them and Marshall Goldman's, Ohio has a good dealer group for exotics.

Damn just looked up Marshall Goldman's. Never even heard of them.

My dad's bought a few cars from them; great people.

He's looking at ther F430 Spider and the McLaren right now. I was just telling Josh that my vote was for the McLaren.

Yeah I'd take the McLaren over the F430.

A friend of mine just bought the Heartland Speedway in Topeka...

Did anyone else catch this?

I need to expand my friend network. I get excited when one buys a case of beer and invites me over to help drink it.

Honestly I'm not much into the red and black, I'm a uniformity kind of person, but it's nasty regardless. I can probably only recall passing a couple Vipers of that gen on the road, and zero ACRs...

A friend of mine just bought the Heartland Speedway in Topeka (1.5 hour drive), I'll probably take it out there a few times; but it'll mostly be a grocery getter.
I need new friends, wanna be friends? LOL. I don't ever see myself as the type to have a dedicated race car that never sees the streets. Having something that can do dual duty is ideal.

Oh I caught it and I had the same thoughts. My network of friends is in dire need of a revamp, haha.

Me too. He thinks the 430 would be easier to sell when he's tired of it.

I looked at a all purple ACR, but it didn't really stand out like I thought it should.

do you plan on tracking it

Sporadically. It'll be mainly a grocery getter and a fun weekend driver.

My god that is beautiful!

Thanks!

Perfection

So sick. I love your Viper

Thanks!
