Bailed on my special order FR-S
 

Great looking car, really enjoyed a canyon test drive..down hill was a blast on the tight corners.

Really just didn't feel anything for the car.
Decided to step back and think about the purchase for a few weeks.

Just yesterday a neighbor decided to sell his dodge Viper, went over to check it out.......my palms were sweaty just looking at it.

2004 Viper with a Paxton Supercharger complete kit w/full exhaust and supporting mods, car has 6K miles on it. Fired it up, instant adrenalin.

Needless to say, I am now a Viper owner...what a sick sick sick ride.
Love it.

I will take another look at the FR-S / BRZ in the future, good luck to all !!

How much did the Viper set you back?

I respect the performance (and engine note!) of the Viper but I've never been enthused about it's looks.

I can't argue with your choice though.

fark, not really in the same price bracket there! whats a viper worth these days?

200hp....600hp. 4 cylinders....10 cylinders. 2L....8.3L. 2 doors....2 doors.

Oh I found the similarity! They've both got 2 doors right?

Needless to say, nice ride.

I assume this viper cost you under $30K, right.....? Or am I missing something... lol

If it costs how much I think it costs, IMO I would have rather spent it on a turbo kit for the 86. That adrenaline feeling wears off lol... sports cars are notorious for being impulse buys considering how much they cost.

I'm sure a used Viper of that gen is minimally north of 40k, but I don't think there's anything wrong with cross-shopping it with other sports cars. Just because you can afford a more expensive car, that doesn't mean less expensive cars won't surprise you.

I like the Viper, though. Sweet ride.

Supercharged Viper...ditches and curbs await????

Looks just like my buddies...except his is stock...and it's still a handful

I agree why even waste your time driveing the frs if u have athat kind of money
I dont like the viper i rather buy a porsche

i used to drive a viper then i took an frs to the knee

Sooooo, if you can afford an 04 supercharged Viper as well as the fuel, upkeep and most importantly the insurance that comes along with it, couldnt you swing the FR-S too?:iono::iono:

I see why he chose the more HP, look at all those trucks in his neighborhood, would be an ego killer to have all of them overtaking him from a set of lights ^_^

Yeah, I think I'm gonna bail on my BRZ.... I took a test ride in a new McLaren and although it was a tough decision the latest horsepower bump on the McL changed my mind. Sorry BRZ.

Good for you man! Im sure near death experiences are a great way to keep the adrenaline pumping and palms sweating + a SC nonetheless. Hellava ride, wave bye to most other cars; as long as the road is straight, or you are feeling ballsy.
