They are defiantly some head turners! Anyone who says they don't want one is probably lying or jealous.
Why do I want a Viper soo bad???????

That's not true. They're a very polarizing car. Either you like the barebones design or you don't. I would never buy a GenII after having driven one, but I gave the GenIII a chance. It's a shame because I think the GenII is one of the top 5 good looking American cars of all time.
Viper = Neon? We tuned my Viper this past weekend and one of our scan tools we use to datalog.... the Viper's computer came up as a "Neon L4" engine!
Because unlike my neighbor you and I cannot afford a Ferrari 458 Italia.

Ummmmm no, I'm jealous of all the Ford GT owners. I've never been a fan of Vipers. I would drive one given the opportunity but I will never own one.
+1.
There are more Vettes here than v6 mustangs.
Love the looks of the Viper, just don't care for the quality of the car.
My old boss had a Viper. Horrible car. Drives like a go cart, impossible to get in and out of, and you burn yourself getting out. Pass.
and they sound like ass IMO too, V8 owns V10 in the sound department

After burning the shit out of my calves getting out of my uncles SRT10... no thanks.
Fun as piss! Primitive, brutal, and straight to the point. It's like a girl who just goes for the junk with her face. It's fun and all, but afterwards she takes up the whole bed and farts worse than you do.
And after the calves incident, I no longer lust after that car.
If you got that kinda money, go with a modded C6Z or heck go for a GTR.
Never been in the latter, but from what I've heard they are about as much fun as you can have in a car. aside from blowing through a cornfield at 90mph in a buick.... ah high school!

The more I am away from his car and the more I hear from you guys about it, the more I am thrilled to have the car I have.,., :beer:

head turner yes. But......what happens when you buy one, then a sexy, built twin screwed terminator on E85 and or turbos blows pasted you in that awesome viper.
just something to think about.
maybe it is just where I am, but most guys in vipers are old, drive them like they are old, and they dont have them modified. Id much rather be the guy in the crazy built cobra that sounds amazing, is payed off, and looks just as good IMO!!!

I have to say that I would certainly not turn one down if I got a decent price on one. For $80k plus, though, there are many other cars I would own first. I have only driven one Viper, and it was one of the early RT-10 models. We rented a couple of cool cars while on Maui many years ago, and that was one of them. It was a lot of fun, and torquey as hell, but I hated the turning radius more than anything I have ever driven. It was like trying to negotiate a schoolbus when in a tight parking lot. I have to say that the picture Dead Eye posted is definitely up my alley, though.:rockon: I have already owned one bare bones race type car ('65 Cobra replica), and while it was faster than anything I have ever driven, the bare bones nature does get old after awhile. That's what I really like about my Terminator, it is faster than most cars I will ever run into on the street, rides super, and has just enough creature comforts to keep me happy, especially now that I installed an indash GPS headunit.
You know, that whole go-cart thing is usually listed as a pro, not a con...
A Viper is an enthusiast's car. No Vette, Camaro, Mustang etc will ever turn heads like a Viper. Yes, it's rough. Yes, it's raw. It's completely brutal. But, that was pretty much the whole point :shrug:
That would be the point for me if I were rich and could afford MANY high dollar cars. Then I could take a break from the well mannered cars and jump into something a little crazy from time to time whenever I felt like it. BUT, I am of course not rich and lust after better 'all-arounders' that are so popular. That is the reason why I love my Cobra so much. It's a practical impractical car (ha).

lol at the people thinking that the viper is a looks only car. The viper has set many records and out performs most cars on the track. As for moddability, the sky is the limit with these cars. The only real complaint is build quality but it's bulit well enough to stay that way. The drivetrain is stout. If you're going to toss all of its accolades aside and judge this car based on its dash then considering yourself a car guy is seriously questionable.
