It's funny how everyone talks about the "rawness" of the Viper, but when I rented one a few years ago in Vegas, I wasn't impressed at all. My 1994 Pontiac Folmula "felt" faster. To me, the Viper was almost too smooth and quiet. That's not to say that I don't want one, it just wasn't what I expected. I know that it can cruise at 120 all day long (as long as you are near a gas station). I know that there is a "wow factor" that you can't get from almost any other vehicle (unless you want to spend > $100K).

Good luck with your decision.
