I wouldn't waste time on the Viper. If you're facing Canadian winters, I agree that AWD is the way to go. Maybe you can find one used in decent condition and with low miles. The older Viper, iirc, doesn't have electronic aids like traction control or ABS. Not something I'd want to be stuck in during a surprise snowfall. I could be wrong about that, but I thought I heard that from a Viper owner.

But if you're seriously considering Viper, used ZR1 Corvettes go for 90-some.
You are right. 2001 was the first year Viper came with ABS. Traction control was added for the new 13'model.

Most Viper owners don't dd them, and very rarely drive in bad weather. The newer Vipers comes with "pray it doesn't rain" sport cup tires so that should tell you something lol.
