"Okay. Full disclosure. I almost killed myself in it.
It is VERY powerful. Extremely, EXTREMELY fast.
I've driven Ferrari's that don't feel as crazy as this thing. I am frankly afraid of it now.
That's right. It's in my garage and I'm afraid to drive it because it's like a crazy steroid bull that wants to kill me.
I've done 130 mph on a Ducati while laughing into the face of death. The viper is a completely different bowl of crack. The engine sounds like 40 pit bulls eating kittens while lifting weights.
I cannot truly explain it's power. It has whiplash acceleration in 3rd gear at 50mph. That sentence doesn't even make sense. But it's true.
That's why I'm telling you. I will not have your soul on my conscience.
You need to know what you are getting into. What insane level of crazy you are buying.
Can you resist the urge to mash down the accelerator? Can you? Because it's like owning your own demon. A demon that wants to kill you. We all know one person that for the right amount of money would kill you. But since no one is paying, they smile in your face and go about their day.
It's like that except the Viper doesn't bother to ever pretend it doesn't want to kill you.
And it will do it for free.

Some brilliant engineer designed a beautiful sexy bulging body, fantastic suspension, great handling, aerodynamics, and all American style. While he was out on his lunch break, some demented maniac dropped 100 times more engine power than necessary into it and sent it out the door. It's mentally unbalanced.

Look,
If you are the type of person that can be talked into having one more drink at midnight when you have a very important presentation or interview early the next morning, then the Viper is not for you.

The whole car is constantly whispering sweet lies to you.
"You got this".
"Open me up and ride free, you got this"
"What are you a pussy?"
"Just do it", "Do it", "you got this".

Do not do it. You don't got it. You ARE in fact a pussy. And as we all know, pussy is mad good. But not that good.
You will sit on the curb and settle your heart after it tries to kill you the first time.
You will get back inside and it will immediately get back to the business of trying to get you to let it murder you.
"You got this. This time you know. That last time was just a fluke. You ain't no pussy".

Repeat after me.
You
Don't
Got
This.

But for $30k you can look the devil in the eye and take this ride.

You were warned.

I wanna buy it.
 
I want one! I prefer the early 1st gen '92-5, then there is a mid 1st gen '96-02 with better suspension and creature comforts and that's when the GTS came out.
 
Never cared for the first-gen car's styling. The GTS is where it's at. They finally got the front visage proportionally correct, it had none of that roadster silliness and awkward targa-bar/tunnel-window nonsense, and the chassis was much better sorted, as pointed out by 71ChargerRT. I'm sure the 3rd generation car is better yet, but it's not nearly as pretty. No matter what year, though, I've still heard 366-powered dump trucks with more a more-menacing snarl than the silly-sounding V10.

I got to drive, if not properly thrash, a vendor's '96 GTS way back when it was still relatively new. It's one hell of a toy, but I could definitely see the limitations in driving such a beast every day. I can only imagine the R/T10 being that much worse with the side-exit exhaust and lack of environmental sealing for the cabin.
 
ya know..maybe its the rt/10's simpliticness that i love about it...its raw..and its purdy..the gts is just as pretty and id have one hell of an internal argument in my head if i had to pick one over the other....give me the gts nose on an rt/10 with the gts suspension....

as for the snarl..there was a few of them around here with clearly aftermarket pipes and boy oh boy did they sound as good as they look
