[joe117]

Today's Sunday Washington Post had a little article about the Viper.
In the automotive section of the paper.
Seemed to be an honest look at the Viper.

You can see it on their site.

"A man's got to know his limitations." (Dirty Harry Callahan)

Apparently Warren Brown (the author of the article) knows his: "I parked the Accord, dropped it quicker than a hot-blooded teenager dumping a dull date. I didn't want the wholesome girl next door. I wanted action. I wanted to drive the black-on-black, chrome-wheeled, 8.3 liter V-10, premium unleaded gas-guzzling, 510 HP 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe."

"Viper SRT-10 afficionados are willing to spend nearly $90,000 to own the rear-wheel drive beast. They want its power and its exclusivity. Few people can afford it. Few can drive it well. I am not among the few."
