I think the new Viper will be much more refined and per your liking of course it will have the new car price tag. I have never driven a Viper but have experienced a few rides. It is not an everyday car. It is not comfortable, feels way to wide and frankly if I was driving not a car I would be happy hooning in on a daily basis. On paper the #'s are fabulous but in the real world, I don't think I'd be happy with it. BTW OP I think you comments about the gearbox and its long throws are because the 04 Viper transmissions are actually truck transmissions, it was the only transmission Dodge had capable of handling all the torque the Viper puts out.
