I remember when I was a kid around 5 years old when my dad brought home a viper almost identical to this one I spotted in Roswell in front of a Hobby lobby off of Holcomb Bridge Road. It was a very cold winter day and he had the top off. With me sitting in my mom's lap we went off for a spirited drive. I remember my face being so red and very cold but the smile and the memories lasted my entire life. This Georgia tagged Viper ( PGY8151 ) was driven by two middle age females who also had these huge big smiles when I was taking these pics.

Nice find! It has been a while since I've seen one of these earlier Vipers. Cool to see some ladies driving around in such a wicked car! Think I spy a Turbo/S in the back as well.

Ah, this car brings back memories. I used to have a die-cast of it as a small kid. I love it! Stunning find, West!

Thank you Alen, Thom, Nick, and Henry for your great comments.
@lyon1845 Hi Alen. I will most definitely pass on your regards to my dad, and fiancé. You can imagine my surprise when those two women walked up to the car and than drove off. This Viper is most definitely a car that is built for a very strong and passionate individual who can work that very heavy clutch in traffic, The engine also hates low rpm in first gear. this snake is not afraid to bite the drivers hand, lol.

Always cool to hear a story like this. To anyone else walking passed, it would just be an old Viper but it obviously has a special meaning to you. People get too caught up nowadays with the newest and the best rather than something that has meaning to them. I am the same as you but with the 996 Turbo and old C32 AMG as my uncle use to have them.
