Got US$375,000 to burn? (Get a racecar)

luftrofl · Feb 3, 2006

Just thought I might share this little thing I came across.

For just US$375,000 you can get a 1997 Dodge Viper GTS-R Team Oreca :sly:

Here's the advertisement: http://www.craigslist.org/eby/car/129837936.html

It's funny because it's around a 20-25 minute drive from my house, shame I don't have the cash though. :guilty:

make a down payment and tell them that you're coming back with the rest of the money tomorrow, then bring back the car and tell them you don't like it. always works for me

KIDDING!!

VIPFREAK · Feb 3, 2006

OMFG!!!! OMFG!!!!!!!!!

That's near me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm Soooooooooooooooo there tomorrow!!!

toyomatt84 · Feb 3, 2006

Nice car, but I doubt I'd ever spend 375 grand that way.

Flerbizky · Feb 3, 2006

Nice... Really nice !...

$375,000 for a racing Viper!

- $191k will get you a 15 year old Benetton F1 car which will own any racing viper.

Wow, a bargain! It's like $2,000,000 in GT4! :dopey:

Ev0 · Feb 3, 2006

I think I'd rather take the Benetton F1 car. Although you would need a team of skilled engineers to operate it...ut that's why I'm at University.

Sting · Feb 3, 2006

Hold on while I pick my tongue up off the floor..... damn I wanna win the EuroMillions today! lol

YSSMAN · Feb 3, 2006

...Cant you buy a brand-new SRT-10 Competition from Dodge for less than $375K?

Seanman · Feb 3, 2006

McLaren F1 GTR for £1,200,000....

:drool:

VIPFREAK · Feb 3, 2006

Hello people...

:cough:

sale-129837936@craigslist.org
This is one of the most original surviving Team Oreca Vipers developed and sponsored by Dodge to win the World Championship in 1997. Probably one of the best documented vipers and a real piece of Viper history with racing heritage.

:cough:

If this is true then price doesn't ****ing matter. :rolleyes:

X5. · Feb 3, 2006

That is quite a bargain! only problem now is cash :grumpy:

VIPFREAK, lets carpool, take out a loan and buy it together

VIPFREAK · Feb 3, 2006

Ok, I'll hold it at my place untill you um get here, 💡 but uh yeah! that will work! :sly:

Poverty · Feb 3, 2006

Buy the car. Then come to england and work here for 8 years for the average wage of £30 K a year. Marry a woman who earns about £35k a year. You pay off the car and she pays for everything else.

Or buy the car go to the gym get really buff and become a stripper/gigolo.

X5. · Feb 3, 2006

I was thinking that maybe we could ship it here and i would wait for you to come down. Well not wait as i would obviously be driving it but you get the idea

Gabkicks · Feb 3, 2006

man what a bargain. too bad i'm about 350k short

VIPFREAK · Feb 3, 2006

But alas... it's next to me and since I'll have it, it ain't goin no where and will be waiting for you're ass to get here. :lol:

j/k

Anyway, so I called the guy and it is an actual GTS-R from the LeMans in '97. According to him this is one of 4 chassis for that race... C1, C2, C3, and C4. Basically C3 is the only one that's in decent shape. :lol:

Here is the only other proof I could find so far on it.

I will be going over there to take pic, see it in person, and MAYBE EVEN SIT IN IT! :jumps up and down like a little school girl: ( ok, that was uncalled for... :ill:

)

JCE · Feb 3, 2006

I'd rather take the 375k and buy a Carrera GT or a Zonda.

eliseracer · Feb 4, 2006

M-Power

Dorifto · Feb 4, 2006

That's about 20 minutes away from me. East bay luv.

I bought it as well. It's fast!

iceburns288 · Feb 4, 2006

Not worth the price in the least, no matter the race history. You can get 360GT's that have raced at Le Mans with crap-tons of spares for a little more. In fact, in the Ferrari Market Letter, there are cars that have won races (maybe not Le Mans) that sell for less than that.

Ditto on the :drool:

for M5. My god! :drool:

I want it....

Imagine coming to school in one of these.

Quite a motor but not worth all that money to be fair.

eliseracer · Feb 4, 2006

Car Classic always has an outstanding inventory of exotics and rare racecars. I always drop in every few weeks to see what's changed.

And the prices on these DTM cars are amazing!

Got a mere 75,000$ to burn? Buy one of these:

iceburns288 · Feb 4, 2006

If you really wanted you could buy a nice 355C or 360C for a lot less

McLaren · Feb 4, 2006

Must be really decked out in the power department then.

A denistry here just sold his racing Viper GTSR for about $180K. It was a really nice race car in the SCCA series.

Note to VipFreak: He sold it for the new Comp. Coupe. :sly:
