When I was a kid my parents took us all to a dealership to purchase a new minivan and the Viper had just come out. I was around 7 or 8 at the time and I was bored but doing my best to stay cooperative and I noticed in the glass case a small model of a black Dodge Viper and I couldn't keep my eyes off it. After a little while negotiating with my parents the salesman was between tasks and he walked over to the case and opened it. He grabbed the little Viper and handed it to me. I can't remember exactly what he said but I was so excited that he'd be so generous that I was immediately in love. I spent the next 5 years collecting Viper things and absolutely losing my mind whenever I saw one (very rare where I lived). I never stopped to think that other dealerships or manufacturers might make models of their cars for the same purpose. That's really cool to know I wasn't alone!

Third Gens are easily the most underappreciated and coolest cars ever built. Which is nice because you can still get a real one for a decent price. Only problem with most of them is that they were owned by people who liked to "bubba" their cars so most of them need a lot of work. But they are SO worth it.

Ahh that car brings back some fond memories. Beautiful job on it, only thing that would have made it better is if tou would have made it and IROC-Z. I know they weren't made in 83, but I have a spot in my heart for the old iroc's.

Pretty cool! I'm an, "Old School" model builder. I like how the suspension reacts. Here's a few suggestions. The car needs a torque bar. Also, using a, "toothpick" to paint the, "Z28" badges. I did an exact replica of my 1987 IROC-Z and I sold it for $200 bucks in 2000. I used to live in my room doing this. I wish I could share a picture. You would of FREAKED.

Really outstanding, since you did such a great job with attention to detail I wanted to tell you about one important thing that's missing. It might not seem all that important, however 3rd gen people notice this everytime if it's not done, mostly on full scale cars. On the front ground effects where it's open that is always supposed to be painted black, many times when that gets re-painted, body shops sometimes forget to do that.
