No substitute for a V8!  This thing sounds sweet.

is that because some of the magic of past AMGs has been lost? Consequence of dilution of the brand?

They sure are fast and sound good...why gives?

Not at all. My neighbour's friend pulled up in one a few weeks back, holy :censor: did it sound amazing! It sounded better than the C63 TBH.

Looks real nice but that is a lot of coin for a late Midget.

Yeah, gorgeous example, and Vermillion is one of the best Leyland colors IMO. but that's all the money for a rubber bumper midget. I could see if it was a documented low miles, unrestored car, but it's a mild restoration (nice repaint, restored/refreshed some of mechanicals) without a lot of provenance. Should think about listing my documented 20K mile rubber bumper MGB  ::)

Everyone raves about the e30 M3, but I love this totally mundane 318i.

I'm always impressed with how well these things have kept their value. This is obviously a very desirable example, but I thought that many Vipers languished on lots and were sold with steep discounts. I could be misremembering things though.

Anyways, hardtop Vipers with this color combo have always been my favourite going back to the 1996 GTS.

I'll never forget the first time I heard a Viper fire up.  That sound!   :heart:

My Godfather had a similar very basic spec / year Jimmy, same 350/auto, same colour combo even except for the white flanks.
