Really a simple piece to own and maintain. Laid out like a mid 80's Camaro. Big 505 inch motor, Tremec T56, Dana Super 44 type center section--all in a simple, square tube frame. Built by real Americans at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in God's own Detroit. What's not to like?! This thing is a real 190mph car, and will run low 12's at 120mph or so with a Chimp driving it, stock. Is it a super slick, polished, impeccably constructed car? No, it ain't! I like the simplicity, ruggedness, and basic honesty of the Viper. There aren't many cars left that don't try to be everything to everbody, but the Viper is one of those. The service manual for my 06 Snake is just and ordinary, single book, but my 02 Z06 has THREE seperate books to cover the car. Just the electrical manual for the Z06 is larger than the entire Viper manual! With 2003-2004 cars available in the 35-40k range, these Vipers bring a whole lotta ass whooping power for very reasonable bucks! Thanks, Rudy.
