Speaking of driving domestics, I was just telling s2kmaniac about my driving a viper today. I have nothing positive to say about the experience. Have any of you driven one? It had a sky high clutch, a brake that could be pressed 1 inch, a shifter that felt like a truck, no traction from its $1000 back tires, and it vibrated without a regular rhythm. I tried so much to like the car, seeing as how I have been trying to find a local one for months. I will never think of that again.

Maybe if it had an ITR engine it would have generated more power, but I will never know since I didnt do any hot laps.

What year did you drive? Was it a coupe or a roadster?

Never driven one but I've been a passenger in one. It was quite a while ago so I honestly have no idea what a brand new one is like. The one I was in was pretty crude (but still very quick).

The ITR engine would be a nice upgrade but you'd still have to deal with the crappy shifter and the terrible build quality.
