Hey Rick,
I've already done the homework on this one.
It appears that Magnetti Marelli at www.marelli.it is the manufacturer of the paddle shifting mechanisms for the cars. Aston Martin has an application that uses the same transmission as the Viper but after talking to the folks at Aston Marting and MM I was informed that the final result was so far from the original transmissions that it would be almost financially impossible to do the change over without factory level money. Big bucks.
Unless...of course...you are disabled! It seems that if you have an impairment your insurance company is obligated to pay for the changeover. So I guess if you're willing to swap some body parts for some paddles and servos (spelling?) you'de be in luck. Dang, seems like everything cost an arm and a leg these days (bad joke)!
Regards, Tittle
