Bad side:

Have to keep slowing down to let the slower Vipers catch up.

Answer everyone question (non Viper owners)" what is that shinny box there, or I thought all Vipers are supercharged.

I couldn't hear the supercharger,or I could see ( from the outside, there is no intercooler, or it fits under the hood.....) generally answering LOTS of questions... That is not really a problem or than needing a recorder to answer some of the same questions.

Trying not to put your foot to the floor all the time to feel the "EXTRA" power. Buying a Valentine .... extra money.

They are not FREE... you have to buy one to have the extra fun.

Good side:

Never wanting to stop driving the Viper.

Never can have too much fun!


But seriously.... I just came back from Sebring(same as 24 hours of Sebring track 3.9 mile course)yesterday, this is the second time I have road coursed my car. Many of the session would last 45 minutes to 1 hour with either full throttle or braking hard for corners. The only limiting factor was brakes .... not to over heat them.

I have 24,000 miles on my 2001 Viper and 20,000 were supercharged. I would NEVER go back to driving a stock car!
