the viper was venom red. one of the new colors this year. only made for 3 mos out of the 18 month run. fact it was a coupe and stripes make it a little more rare. the vipers now have so many combinatins of ext color/ interior color / coupe / vert / stripes / ACR that every one is pretty cose to one of a kind.
i can see how someone who is unfamiliar with vipers could do this. the gas and brake pedals are offset to the left pretty drastically. the porter problably went for the brake, but on a viper, the gas is in the location of most cars brake pedal. the pedals are also close together, so while stepping on the brake, hitting the throttle is VERY easy to do. with the new 600hp engine and gearing 0 - 60 can be done in first gear.
i have sold 5 vipers and every time i go to gas one up, i get that gurgly feeling in my stomach. for about a week after i deliver it, i can't stop thinking about buying one.
it's like dropping your pants, reaching around with both hands and opening up your a** cheeks and then just rubbing your a**hole all over something.carlos nice
Yea I wont be giving out the info on where the car is, thats just stupid...
As far is it being totaled, it is, the frame is FUCKED.
And no they coouldnt repair it if they were able to and then sell it...
somebody will fix it and sell it with a salvage title, I car like that is too valuable to not be repaired, regardless of the damage. Remember anything can be repaired, its just cost vs car's value that keep it from happening.....

to a certain extent. if the motor is toast beyond repair then its really just a lost cause.
Ure not gonna spend more than the car is worth to fix a pile of metal. Now if the motor is good, its golden which it probably is given that it didnt get run over by a tank.
So a good grease monkey can have her fixed in no time. Its probably still worth a lot even as is.
I wonder if this viper will turn into a vipic LOL like the civette. Thad be something to see.
From what I could tell the engine wasnt too badly damaged, the electronic throttle on the right bank is busted along with the air filter and some other stuff, but the block and head it self seems to be ok...
Not to sure but I think it is going to be stripped down and sold piece by piece....

At least that is the rumor around the shop.
that would make sense. My gf worked as a student putting stickers on the assembly line a while back and every time a car on the line had an excessive number of errors or it didnt start etc they would pull it off the line (crane it off) and strip it for spare parts, ie internals and such that were fine up to that point.
So it would come at no surprise if Chrysler shipped this wreck back to the viper assembly plant so they can salvage the parts off and use them on new vipers (say engine to back) and possibly even engine parts complete or in part.
The funny thing she said was that people pulled stuff for their own station like seats etc and then just used them to sit on while the line shut down since most cars have parts allocated anyways so there was no demand for the parts they just stripped. Im guessing thats how some parts also roll out of the plant. I told her to steal me a write off 6.1L motor but it hasnt come yet .... hahhaha.
So either way this wreck wont go to waste, whatever its worth it will be made up by reselling it without anyones knowledge LOL.
