Let me know if you have any questions on anything.
I bet those cost you a pretty penny. I want adjustability but I really don't want to drop 3k on coilovers either :/ could you upload some pics of how it sits?

It would be a nice upgrade...but I would miss your Z dearly. Why not just go boost?

Been in the same boat brother...

Its a straight trade deal, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I'm guessing you have minimal commuting where you live, so gas mileage shouldn't be too bad. Not sure if I'd want to daily the Viper though. I would consider getting a car port or garage too; you're luck with the Z outside hasn't been exactly great

^+1. They don't make V3s for the Viper...only V2, Clubsport, and HLS.

My Z got a good amount of attention, but this thing is absurd! I always go out with the cars I posted in my thread and apparently it gets the most attention out of all of them... They all say it looks like a car from Gran Turismo that you would buy and immediately slam it, haha. Or the die cast models that they would remove the springs from so the car sat on the tires.

So far, 0 disappointments. It's a blast to drive!

Yeah the top one is the one I'm looking at now. I like that maroon one too...but I'd rather have blue. I'd like to spend between 45k-50k
