Hi,
Interesting observations about the Viper. I agree that there's nothing subtle about it. But that's the point. It is simply the Biggest Punch in the Nose that Chrysler could come up with.
That said, I had the opportunity to track one a few years back and while I agree the it is a Handful, I got on top of it fairly quickly. Fortunately, for the track at least, the Brakes are adequate - it's got enough Whoa for the Go. Turning in wasn't a problem, but it'll get squirrely if you get on the Gas too soon coming out.
It's definitely got a place on my List of Future Cars, but there are a couple ahead of it. Still, maybe someday...
Happy Motoring!...Jim'99

I love the Viper but I don't like the most recent changes. They recently did a comparison between the Z06 and the Viper. On the cover of the magazine was a nearly front end shot of both of them racing - I damn near couldn't tell them apart! Sure, from the sides - but even then. It may still be a "beast", but it no longer has that outrageous look that makes your adreneline pump.
