My dad cannot stop driving it...............
« on: December 26, 2008 - 10:09:04 PM »
..........because it gets such good gas mileage  :smilielol:

My dad is so funny. He loves the car, he loves the attention but more than anything he loves the fact that he gets 30mpg in it.

It is a 92. According to Cody it is number 47 built I think and was one of the first batch of Vipers to be offered to the public. My dad bought it from Cody last year I think it was. There is a reply from Cody in an old thread referring to that same Viper as getting 28.something mpg.

I'm impressed with that MPG. My SRT-10 is getting around 9MPG in local driving, but I am driving it to use it's abilities, not for economy.

I hear ya, when I drive his car I am pretty sure it does not get into double digit mpg.

Well, if he has any luck like the other Viper owners on the babe threads, he should be beating the chicks off of that thing with a baseball bat soon enough LOL.

Dang, he's beating me with better mpg than my TT'd V-6 (~24-25 hwy).  :eek7:  That's cool he's enjoying the car.  I'm glad Cody was able to sell it to someone, well sort of, from the forum. :2thumbs:
