Traded in the 8 for our dream car.

First off, let me just say that I would like to thank everybody on here for all the help with the car. This site is very informative. And theres no shortage of people willing to help each other. Second, There will be another evo parked in our garage in the future. I went to just look at an 06 Dodge Viper. 13400 miles, GTS Blue with the stripe package. Long story short, I drove the Viper home.This has been the wife and my dream car for 10+ years. The Evo was a fun car to drive, and like i said, we will have another one. I just couldnt pass this up.

Most importantly, have you done any huge smokey burnouts yet?

going from AWD Evo to a Viper I couldn't resist from a few smokey donuts!

Just be sure to be careful with it. At some point that back end is going to try to find its way to the front.

^this coming from the guy who garages his Evo in the winter! I'm sure they'll drive their RWD more than you drive your AWD during those months!

Thanx for the compliments. I'll post some more pics this week. Shots all around. lol. As for the rwd part, the wife and I have had several muscle cars in the past. So when its sideways, and yes this car will be sideways, it will be under control. And as far as winter goes, it prob wont see much. Ive got a daily driver so this is more of a toy like the evo was. As far as cost, THEY GAVE ME $ 24,500 FOR THE EVO. Yeah I know. I couldnt believe it either. I paid 49000 for the viper. Its got just over 13000 miles on it. again, thanx for all the compliments and help that you have givin us the last couple of years. I only hope the people on the VCA are as nice.
