Got a new car
After driving my brothers car enough, I decided I had to get one. It is a 2002 GTS and I picked it up in Chicago with 7,800 miles on it. It is a little dirty in the pics from the drive back, but I got it without a rock chip, scratch or ding on it. Not sure how many mods I want to do to it as it is pretty fun as is, but I am sure I will do something to get a little more about. I am considering bringing it to the dyno day, but want to see what my schedule is like first. The numbers won't be to impressive, but it would give me a base number if I decide to do more.

Re: Got a new car
Very hot, but would be even better with some new wheels on it. I have never liked those much. That color is sexy as hell though.

Re: Got a new car
Sweet!! It's funny that those cars already look kinda dated. Have fun with it!

Re: Got a new car

Re: Got a new car
nice, i guessed it was a viper before I clicked.
How much did that run?
My friend had an '05 with i think 30-40kmiles for 42k.
Just don't have a douche sig, '05s are as quick as B16G cars.
I like vipers, that style you have is cool.

Re: Got a new car
I got it for 34k, but I couldn't find another 02 for under $49k. I am not too worried about the depreciation on it as I got it with only 7,800 miles for less than half the sticker. I think it will hold its value a little better now than it did for the previous owner. I was looking at some of the newer style ones, but I don't like the look of them as much. This is the last year of this body style and the older style ones seem to be more popular. I coulld have gotten a local 04 for about the same price. I would have liked to find a blue and white, but for the price I paid, I would be looking a 96 with over 50k on it. After getting this one, I think I like the color better anyways. These are pretty fun cars stock, but a well modified dsm would be able to beat them.
As far as the wheels go, at least they are better than the 3 spoke razor style that come on my brothers. I will probably leave them for now though as it is hard to find a 18" X 13.5" 6 lug wheels for a reasonable price.

Re: Got a new car
lol, i hear this 2nd gen has all forged internals and yes the color is awesome. Having max tq all the time is sick and those long gears just beg for boost or bottle.
I wouldn't say a well modded dsm.  |

Re: Got a new car
Nice! I would have to say, when someone says Viper, this is the body style I see in my head. GTSs are my favorite!
