Thanks Jon! 9,XXX miles and counting..for some reason I see the gas station more often in this car

Thank Denis! The acceleration is mind boggling!

Gorgeous Gen 2! That's what I like about the Gen 5's - classic Gen 2 looks with modern technology thrown into the mix.

Thanks guys! I've already put over 1400 miles on it, including the 900 mile trip home. It's just too fun not to drive it!

I was really hoping to bring it to ChallengerFest, but I may end up being in Chicago that week for work. Hopefully things change though!

Well some of you may have already seen this on FB, but I picked up a new car last week! For as long as I can remember, I have dreamed of one day owning a Dodge Viper. Their sheer presence, rarity, and rawness have always intrigued me! The light at the end of the tunnel began to shine 3 weeks ago once I stumbled upon a new ad for a used Viper at Baxter CDJR in Omaha, NE. Knowing Baxter had relations with MMF and ChallengerFest, I got ahold of Alan to see who I should speak with. I thought Lee had moved on, but I was happy to hear that he was back with Baxter. Once I received Lee's info, I imidately shot him a text to let him know I was interested (it was a Sunday). Lee immediately got the ball rolling and let the dealership know that he had a buyer. The next two weeks went by SLOWWW. Omaha was still being hit hard with snow and freezing temps, so the current owner would not let the car leave his garage until the weather had gotten better (which I was more than happy with). Finally my dream became reality when I took the 900mile drive north to pick up the car in Omaha on 3/17. The next morning I met with Lee and Scott to sign the papers and take the car home. Lee and Scott were a pleasure to deal with and even showed us the dealership-owners private collection. After drooling over the private collection, we began our 900mile trek back home. The car ran flawlessly and even averaged 19-20mpg. Well enough talking! Here are some pictures from the trip and at home. Side note: I picked it up with only 3,524 miles..it now has 4,8XX miles. I love driving this thing!

Depending on the offset, you'll probably be fine. I'd go with a shorter tire though. That's nearly 31" tall

Check Cleveland Pick-A-Part, that's who I bought my brembos from. They normally have everything needed (spindles and knuckles) for less than $1500.

I'm sure making your own wiring harness wouldn't be too bad once you've already got the lights. I believe someone does have a prebuilt harness though, TrueStreetJim if I remember correctly?

I've seen a few people with 2015+ tail lights that kept their 2008-2014 bumper cover. Not sure what all is involved, but it's definitely possible.

Pretty sweet! You bringing her to CF8?

Sounds like a fun trip! Drives like that are definitely made easier with someone else, especially if you can doze off for a few hours. My cousin and I made a straight trip from Pineville, LA to the NASCAR track in Las Vegas (with a "quick" stop at the Grand Canyon to do some sight seeing) last month in a 45ft motorhome hauling a Grand Cherokee on a 20ft trailer. Thankfully we only had to stop for fuel (perks of a motorhome), but I was beat after the 25hr+ drive since I had only gotten around 3hrs of sleep during the trip over. Enjoy the new hellcat though! I look forward to checking it out at CF8

Thanks for the reminder! Just placed my order

I'm still needing one and the host hotel would definitely be nice! How much? And what's the cancelation policy just in case something comes up? Hopefully I won't need it as I'm 99% sure I can make it, but it's peace in mind.

Wish these would have been posted a few months back! Though they're probably too rich for my blood. Look like BM to me.
