Actually, Vipers have great resale value.

Why does it matter if it has 10 cylinders or 30 cylinders? Fast is fast and a Viper is definately fast.

What other cars for $60k were running mid-low 12s in 1997?

You made a good choice. A Viper is sex on wheels. In comparison, an EVO is.......holding hands on wheels.

I am hoping to buy another evo someday, because I do love them. But this viper is retarded fast for a stock car. I am going to track it soon, but Ill guess mid 12's maybe low 12's from what Ive read.

Who knows
9's can do that stock witha great driver.....and with tbe,mbc, tune with a good to average driver viper = fail imo

Thanks for all the positive comments, Im pretty happy. Dont get me wrong I love the evos they are great cars, but you can ask gmetal (my brother in law) on this forum the difference between his Evo MR and the viper.

If you have never been in a viper they dont even start until about 110MPH. I would have got a newer one but I cant afford one, after all Im only 26.

I know there are people on this site who think their evos are invincible, but there is always somthing faster. Just like there are faster cars than my viper. But seeing that I have owned both maybe I have a little more insight. Worst case scenario the Evo X kicks *** and I have to go buy one.

1997? Big block vettes and cobras used to do that in the 1960's a full 30 years before the Viper was ever born.
