As a few of you will know, I left the UK a few years ago and have been about a bit since, and settled in the US about a year ago after having no VX or any other fun car for 3 years. Once I moved to somewhere that had more space than a shoebox, it was time to get reacquainted with fast cars. So I went full American...

 

Still supporting UK industry though

 

 

 

 

 

Thought you might be interested in something rarer than a VX

Hey. It's been a while. Hope you're enjoying life Stateside.

 

Dodge Viper. Cool. How did you ever do with less than 10 cylinders?  An amusing drive, I'll bet.

Thanks buddy! Yeah it's a bit more sledgehammer than the VX...did once find it wheelspinning at 80 in 2nd on a dusty road.

Yep, Feb 2014 I left! Flown by. Tanned!? Have you seen my complexion? I'm practically transparent.

 

Great purchase!

Yep, the sound is glorious . At ~14 UK MPG if I be careful, it actually ends up costing the same in petrol as my VX did pretty much!

 

Awesome! Great work Spuk!

Forgot to share the video of the engine noise although it doesn't show a lot. This was at 2 am the day I got it home...after it killed its own alternator and battery on the drive home from the seller.

I am waiting for the c8 corvette with the mid-mounted new engine and 10 speed.

Oi .

Yep, Gen II (1999) which basically looks like the original but they added bonnet vents and moved the exhaust exit to the back to stop burning people

Thanks . Yeah I'm excited to see how the C8 is going to turn out! Corvette's are ten a penny here so depreciation might make them affordable in a couple of years.

Awesome car mate, I've always been a huge fan of how they look and sound.

Yeah, despite the amount of work it's needed so far (mostly maintenance) I still don't regret my decision. Still looks cool and gets a lot of thumbs-ups from people.
