Your chance to own the Viper GTS-R Team Oreca Race Car #51 '00

jedisteampunk · Apr 1, 2012

Hi guys, whilst I was reading my copy of this months Octane magazine I happened to come across this add for one of my favorite cars in the game, the Oreca #51 Viper GTS-R.
Seems like a bargain price to me. Maybe if we all chip in we could arrange alternate weekend ownership of it.

$895,000 for a Le Mans winning car?

Blimey. They don't want it then. :lol:

Avaible
Aquasition.

Really? Looks like I typed it up

Since this has little to do with GT5, it would be best to move it here, here or here

Though, $895,000 is a bargain!

The #91 Viper won the 2000 12 Hours of Sebring GTS Class, not #51. Car #51 did win the 2000 24 Hours of Le Mans GTS Class, however.

From all the info I can find about the car, it appears that #51 & #91 are the same car, chassis C31. Interesting...

I've started doing a little bit of digging on chassis C31. It would be interesting to see the dossier that's included in the sale of this car. It looks like it was sold before as #91 and now its been restored to #51.

I'd pitch in just to own a piece of that almighty beast.

Reading this reminded me of something I saw on Drive SRT's facebook page a little while back. Their shots of the #91 at the 2012 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance 2012.

Such an insanely great looking car :drool:

...

Oh, and on a completely unrelated note- Head over to Drive SRT's facebook page in a couple hours time to see another teaser for the new Viper 👍

Some great pics MrDinosaw94, that is how I would keep it. I wouldn't clean it or change it in any way.

That is great. I love how dirty it is.

Since this isn't actually about GT5, I've moved it to a more appropriate section 👍
