Im convinced…the viper is a car for people who want a nice car, but know nothing about cars. and have more money than they really should. I wanted a viper when i was about 8. Now i think they are shit piles, for the money. i am also convinced, that people who own vipers do not do their own work… they pay people to do it… ---

I’ll see if i can get my buddy to come out on sat if you like. He drives a bone stock 2002 Z06. (ya know the car that costs far less then that viper you got 🙂 ) You should have no troubles killing him. because if you dont win by more then 5 cars, you should be upset ---
