Did your friend have a red Viper around 2000?

My buddy had the higher end model and the ride in it even sucked


But it was as close as I'll probably come to sitting in an F-16 cockpit

It's not built for silky smooth ride , ride is tight but not bouncy.

You want rough, drive a 996 GT3.

I saw the red one like 4 times in a week this summer. Nice to see someone who buys a car like that use it as his daily driver.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the ride. My old Porsche was much rougher. Felt every crack in the road.

No truck nuts but it was nice to drive home on flooded roads in Louisiana a few weeks ago.

I hate to pull a trailer behind it.

I'm pretty sure he also has an F-250. It's tough to keep track.

The stiffest car I ever had was a 96 Corvette.

Drove it to Pensacola from NOLA and thought I was gonna have to be airlifted out of the seat.

Is this the thread where we brag about our rich friends?

My buddy had the first Huracan on the west coast at the age of 22.



His family is one of the richest in the world and run a company that everyone on here knows and uses their products. He's being groomed to take over the company in the future. He basically has a credit card with unlimited funds on it.

His next purchase is going to be a new Aventador.

Suffer a lot

My cell phone case belt clip cut the leather on the seat when I was getting out of it

and I was joking about the higher end model I don't know one from another but my buddies set him back 340k and it was 1 year old so I'm sure there are much more expensive models, he had it for a couple of years and put just a few hundred miles on it and sold it for about what he paid for it,
