Well, I have driven a few, a buddy bought one when they 1st came out, handed me the keys and sent me out the door, man, what a fun car... A few months later, I was back in town, he tossed me the keys again, but he had Hennessy work their magic and boy, was it every more fun and OMG Fast..

As to hard to drive, well, so is a early 911S, so are early 930s, the key is to respect & Learn to drive the car because it does take some time to get use too. That was my 1st experiences with Vipers, over the years I have had more and driven a few hard, never fails to bring a smile to my face, but then again, I like a car that makes you work, and doesn't do everything for you. The one bad thing about early Vibers (other than what has already been brought up) is how hot the side pipes would get, burning the plastic over them..

As to competitive track cars, guess you guys don't remember Viper Team ORECA, plus GM had to stuff a 427 in the Vette (when it only came in their Trucks, wasn't even an option for the Vettes) to keep up with the Vipers..
