I've owned Vipers (6) over the last 8 years and I've finally found the vehicle to pull me away.

Yesterday, I took delivery of a 2006 GT, midnight blue/white stripes and am in love.

I've lurked here for a while and appreciate the wealth of information I have found.

I look forward to meeting some of my fellow owners soon.

Congratulations, that's a beautiful color with many different hues depending upon the light hitting it.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm hoping to put some miles on it as soon as the weather clears here in Austin.

Hey getbit,

Catchy forum name, CONGRATULATIONS on your new Ford! :banana

Some of the guys with deep pockets here have both and some of the guys with REALLY deep pockets have lotsa exotica. I've never been a Viper guy and the new Z-06 can't help Dodge's market share for this type car. But since I've been here and been introduced to Jason Heffner, Gary Almond and Chad with their modified Vipers, I have some newfound respect. The modded ones really do make some monster HP, many owners like yourself own or owned multiple Vipers, and Dodge seems quite supportive!

Having said all that, glad you found your way forward!! :biggrin

Hi Getbit, I am a big lurker at Viper Alley and I am familiar with your search for the GT. (I am pulling the trigger on an 06 SRT-10 Coupe , Blue/White stripes this week BTW) .

Congrats man!

Thanks again everyone.

BigsGT, you pushed me over the edge. I couldn't let you and Chad get all the love on Viper Alley for buying the GT. I haven't stopped smiling yet.

MK2 GT, the Viper Coupe is a great car...one that I will miss. You have some outstanding choices in your garage!
