READ MY COLUMN You told me to buy a Dodge Viper, so I did: I bought a 1997 Dodge Viper GTS, finished in the famous Viper Blue with white stripes. Then I drove it 500 miles home. Logic Trumps Emotion: This Viper was and is a pure driving machine. People wrap them around poles because they don't know how to drive. They're used to your typical Porsche that has so many driving aids it basically drives for you. This is a purist vehicle, the last true American muscle car. I still want one, of course blue with white stripes, but I'd take one in any color. I just can't understand 2 things (and I know I'm a few years late on this) 1) How is the Viper not really your thing? 2) Why would you buy one if you're not into it like that? Rich people problems. Doug, the kind of guy who likes cars like he likes art. It looks pretty, but he doesn't know shit about it.

My father bought a 1996 blue and white Viper GTS back when I was 14. I cried when we started driving it home from Salt Lake to Denver because he wanted to take it back to the dealer. After a decade of smashing the throttle and adding twin turbos, I teared up again when he sold it for a 911 turbo. A magnificent looking car, terrifying to drive, yet made of cheap plastic. What a juxtaposition between beauty, power, and crude manufacturing

I think I could write a pretty good essay on why the dodge viper is the best muscle car of all time. I really want to have one some day And I also want to have an Alfa Romeo Stelvio because it would be a good secondary car to the viper and I have always liked American and Italian cars the best.

Trust me it's really hard to cpntrol it when u floor it since it doesn't have alot of the modern technology like brake assist traction control and stuff but if ur the guy who had the balls and the kill u will have no problem in it, it's more like a Carrera GT one awesome devil

Summary: I bought a super car and made a video. But I didn't punch it out because I was scared (or responsible. What else are the people who dial into this video interested in? How good the air conditioning is? How's the clutch? I don't think so.

I personally love the dodge viper. It is by far my favorite car in the world I have always loved the viper ever since I was a kid. I would do anything just to drive or even see this car. I have only saw two in my life time and I'm almost 16.

am I the only person that thinks this guy looks like Jay Leno? I don't know why but it bugs me, because I think he knows he looks like him, and it almost seems like he's copying his mannerisms. oh yeah, and they are both into cars.

I met someone who owned an older viper (this was a few years ago and I can't remember what year it was) and just after a few days owning it he got into an accident and completely screwed the frame. Yeah these cars a vicious.

One of them where a wing is a safety feature. I'm surprised there was never a class action about that with it being such a cheap way to significantly reduce how lethal a stock car was when delivered to the customer.

I don't understand people who actually complain about a car not having ABS, TCS, etc. I've never owned a car that has any of those things and I've never been at fault for an accident. Driving really isn't that hard.
