Now thats out of the way, Drew you are going to love this!! A new production car record I believe, dig the rev limiter, how few times he has to shift that 6-speed, great driving, too bad they are thinking of selling the Viper name. Hope it goes to TEAM ORECA http://motortrend.com/av/features/112_0 ... index.html I should have never driven a Viper. It's never left me. The torque curve is simply amazing. I couldnt imagine a 100 extra H.P. from the 1 I drove a few years back as the new ones put out every bit of the rated 600 H.P. they possess. Too bad the word in the garages is the new Blue devil C5 Vette with a twin screw blower, 636 H.P. is blowing the engines up. Chevy cant keep the new LS-6 from disintegrating! I'm sure they will fix that.

man this vid is sick,what a power machine, yea i have driven a coupla vipers the old ones and yes considering the old ones could break the speed limit in 1st gear i drove a 93 prototype,
and my buddie had a ferrari 308 magnum pi car and it was ...............well kind of a pig with red lips :s024: i talked him in to a viper,
yep he shows up one day in a british racing green with a tan interior stupidly throws me the keys and says "take her out" and he walked off and went in side to talk to zzub,and away i went in a brand new viper with 75 miles on it, by my self i flogged the hell out, of it i think i did a buck twenty down our local hiway and i came back palms sweaty,shaking, red faced he said "what happened?" , i said "dont ever let me take that thing out again!"

man that thing is scary fun, yea ed i know the feeling once you have driven one you will never for get cause the torque is really something from 8 liters of reciprocating mass, it builds like nothing else its always there on demand no matter what rpm or speed, yea my hearts kinda pumping from that vid! :thumbsup:
