lbstone said:The deciding is over, I just made a deal with the guy owning the 05 red convertible with 1,400 miles! In the end I kept changing my mind, the two cars have two totally different personalities. I think the coupe looks way tougher and more like a traditional viper should. But whats better then cruising in a Viper with the top down. I think going with the convertible will help me keep the speeds on the side of sanity a little longer, plus as I said before, lowering the seat wont bas as pressing of an issue. The deciding factor is the miles. 1,400 miles is nothing, the car isn't even broken in yet and is probably still on the original oil! The car still has the little rubber nipples on portions of the tires and still has the new car smell.
Tomorrow I bring the paperwork to the bank before I leave for Sweden. By the time I return Sunday night, all the paperwork will be done and I'll hopefully be driving her home!! Now I gotta build a garage!!!

Remember to save a few 100$ for the seat lowering kit, the seat can be moved forward and back with the 1" kit. The 2" kit is stationary. :rock:

I'll probably go with the 2" lowering kit and order it tonight. I gotta go check the car out tonight and will be sure to post up some pictures!! Thanks again for everyones help, it did make the decision a bit more clear and difficult at the same time
I'm 6'1" 315 and I fit, barely Getting in the coupe would have been tough and I cant just jump right into the car but thats the price I've gotta pay for being such a meat head!! My daily driver is an 08 Accord Coupe and getting in and out doesn't pose much of a problem. When I first sat in the viper I had to kinda plan out how I was going to slide in but it wasn't to much of an issue. The width is tight but doable but the hight is what bothers me. I think an inch would be adequate but 2 inches would probably be better. I'll take a closer look tonight to get a better idea.jrangel said:Would it allow for a 6 foot 5 265lbs person to fit? I tried to get in one once and had no luck. Salesman pointed to the truck and said you will fit in there.

I have the 1" lowering kit in mine with plenty of room now....i am 6'3" 230lb but have a long torso. The 1" kit may work for you, if not the 2" will for sure.jrangel said:Would it allow for a 6 foot 5 265lbs person to fit? I tried to get in one once and had no luck.
