Maybe the 348 bash was due to the service interval and costs. The design is whatever you think of it but they feel like they're on rails and sound sublime.

As far as the 400 goes I think they're as cool as any other odd exotic from that era.

This view looks especially good but yeah it's a 3 speed auto.

If you squint at it real quick, it looks similar to a Jaguar XJS.

Which is a whole other can of worms.

The masochistic DSM owner in me wants an XJS V12 and put straight pipes on it with a big lopey cam.

It's too low for me, but the fender/paint work is on point.

It's just a car. :angel:

In the 90s I was lucky enough to drive everything. I don't know how I didn't die. The Viper was a brutal sledgehammer and I think I would have died if I didn't have so much wheel time with everything non supercar. However the zr1 I was able to do ungodly things illegal sideways things that would have killed me in the viper. I still want the viper but reality. But I also loved pegging 5 speedy Altimas with the primitive HUDs and don't mention the 3000gts and Zs and long story short these low mile $25k early Vipers have me seriously considering...anyways I have no point to this I have never driven Italian supercars but the viper was a different beast all together.

Are you on prescription drugs?

Get a Lister Bell STR and put a Mondial drivetrain in it.
