Haha, I hear ya. Like any tool, though, it's more useful in the hands of a skilled user. Of all of the Vipers I've owned, I'm most impressed with the 8.4L engine, making 600hp out of the box. It's unbelievable how well it performs when you learn that driving isn't about stomping the gas and hoping for the best.
Great looking F-body. I've had two Firebirds and two Camaros, and I loved every second of making them into stage-2 and stage-3 cars. Here's two of my F-Body babies, on either side of my Porsche (don't ask -- mistake to have bought, LOL).
Camaro is an SS, and the Firebird is a Trans Am convertible. I've also owned the WS6 Firebird (sold now), and the LS1 SS Camaro (also sold). I go through muscle cars very rapidly ... buy 'em, build 'em up, get bored and sell 'em.
My wife is driving a Denali now, so I am using the Viper as a daily driver so I don't put miles on any of our nice cars.
