My friend bought a Viper one year. He called the guy at the dealer told him he was interested in the car and asked how late they were open. The salesman said I'll be here as late as necessary
He left his shift at 10pm and the sales guy was the only one there. He bought the car and the sales guy just handed over keys.
No driving instruction, training or pointers.

"Have a nice day and thank for coming by"

you have to wonder, with all these people buying highly exotic and extremely powerful cars, how many actually know/have been instructed about HP driving.
I mean the Carrera GT was not intended to be a road car at all. And from what I've been told many people who were not allowed to test drive the car before buying(!!!!) have said that had they been given a short spin they never would have purchased the car. The transmission sounds like a tractor trailer's, going up hill is a test of even an experienced shifting skills, and its bone jarring on expansion joints.
