WOW! That looks fantastic! Got to be careful with that one, lots of torque and a very ass happy platform. I stepped out of my norm as well and bought a non ford product for my daily, a 2002 Grand Cherokee Limited. Very odd not buying something without a blue oval on the front.

I'm guessing Hugh will add a HC and not delete his other ride. If the other ride goes, the earth may fall off its axis!

Chris, congrats on the dream car. Sucks on letting the Boss go.
I wouldn't say the Vipers are a tail happy car. But they do reward very experienced drivers and bite most others. They will TTO in a heartbeat and the issue arises when you over cook a corner entry. The GTS Vipers I drove had to be driven like a formula car which is you had to weight the nose to get them to turn. If you did they where amazing. Now most people who over cook entry add more steering then panic brake. The fronts then hook up and around she goes and in a Viper that normally means a big time off. They were truly a hard car to extract maximum out of but once you found it, a trust developed. Most people will fun faster laps in lessor cars, but a real racer in a Viper will smoke them.

Good advice! I've heard similar reviews from other more experienced than me track drivers as well. I'm not sure when or if I'm going to get this on a track. First order of business is to replace the Michelin Pilot Sport run flats...they are hockey pucks.
