Drove a Viper all weekend.
Hey all,

Just wanted to share:

My cousin has a 2000 Viper. He installed an intake and exhaust. This thing was just plain sick. I got to drive it through the mountians in north carolina (around ashville) all weekend. I would have to say that the most exciting thing is the shift from 2nd to 3rd. It's so darn fast you just cant beleive it. With my stopwatch and my cousin driving we were hitting 0 to 60 in the mid 3's.

sick...

anyway, my a&& hurtz real bad and i've got a cramp in my leg. It rides like its on rails but I missed my G for the comfort. For a daily driver the G wins hands down but for punking out just about anyone on the road the Viper is pretty fun.

I did notice that like every single mustang would hurry up to pull along side us and rev it. It wasnt even worth the race. The car sticks out like a sore thumb and is a cop magnent.

Fun weekend, it's good to be back in the G.

No matter how many cramps or @$$ pains Id pick the Viper over the G every day as my daily driver.
