For twenty years, it's been the #1 car on my list of cars to own. Now I finally own one. I built the models as a kid, I watched that terrible TV show named after the car, and I remember pretty much every one I've ever seen.
1994 Dodge Viper RT/10:

My Dad flew out with me to Detroit to pick it up yesterday and we drove it back through the day into the night back to southern PA. I took it to my house in Baltimore this morning and washed off a thousand miles worth of road grime. I can't believe it's mine. :) And it's only got 27,000 miles for now.
Fly and drive is a great way to buy a car and to get to know it. I'm blown away by how comfortable it is. It's much more comfortable than the Miata. We were averaging 22-23 miles per gallon on the way home too.
Congratulations, she looks very clean
Wonderful! So happy for you!
Looks like a beauty! Congrats
it looks like it's in awesome shape!
Congrats! My uncle has one exactly like that, but with even less miles. He keeps it parked in his walk-out basement and has to drive through his yard when he takes it out.
They look 10x better in person than in pictures, IMO.
I'm only sad because your Viper gets comparable mileage to my mostly stock miata.
Cool!
Wow! Dream come true, literally. What a high you must be feeling; good job man, and a great choice on an awesome car.

This makes me happy. 
Keep us posted on all the fun you have with her dude!
That's awesome! Fly and drive of an exotic is on my bucket list! You got to do both!

Something about the original RT/10's really gets me. Maybe it's the side pipes, maybe it's the period correct tri-fans... either way, it's awesome.

That's super awesome! Congrats on fulfilling your dream.
Congratulations.
I had a ride in one just last week. It was at a slalom and it was really wet. The Viper is a handful in the wet. I'm not sure what these earlier cars had on offer for traction control but the one I was in did not seem to have any kind of a guardian angel!
The other impression I got was that they were HOT inside; you can certainly tell that the exhaust runs inside the sills. Shorts might be a bad idea when entering and exiting these beast!
Enjoy.
Congratulations! It looks to be in fantastic shape. I'm jealous not only of the Viper but the drive and fly too.
Keeping the wheels stock or upgrading them? Congrats on your acquisition.

Traction control was persona non gratis in Vipers right up until the new SRT one that just came out.
Congrats dude! This was one of my dream cars as a kid too, I also built model cars of it, had an awesome poster, and generally lusted after one.

Congrats man!
I like to think that with patience, enough time, and a little bit of luck we'll all get to own at least one of our dream cars without ruining ourselves financially to get there. I figure I'm up for mine in about 10-15 years or so - lol

Looks awesome!! That is one car I've been meaning to try out. Those are really bad-ass
