So what is the MPG in the Viper? That's probably the only American car I'd ever consider owning and one beautiful ride. I would love to take that baby out on the track.
Sorry you ended up not liking it as much as expected, but you'll find the right one for your taste.
One thing, you will end up being happy you can't fit in the Elise. It's a great looking car, but for the price it has a ton of problems. I know of a few of people who had one for a month or two and that's all they could take.
Good luck in your hunt. I hope you find something you can't wait to get into every day.
