I'm not saying I don't like it. I just wouldn't have one. 'Vette made after '72 either.

I do like the look of the car.

At least it's not one of those 'Write Me A Speeding Ticket' colors.

Just not a smart choice for me to put that much cash in a car that cost more than corvette that i sold. Handles worse and less comfortable as well. There was also a better one Dallas just $4k more, but it would be a long drive. Owner of this one drove an hour to my bank once we agreed on the price, which made it easier.

So far, have ordered a short throw shifter and a new key fob. Next will need to check if rotors thick enough to turn and/or if need new pads. The Dallas car was better sorted, and today owner actually contacted if my offer was serious and in cash. But already bought this one.

I really like the colors of this one. I was never really a fan of the Viper, but this one looks dang good.
