Since the thread has already been steered off course from The Viper I have to say that if I had $45K in my hand and it had to be for a car, I would save a little more and get an Ariel Atom.

 

I don't own a RX-7 anymore. Got a mercury cougar, camry, and a passport

 

well, my only comment is that vipers are... well scary and fast. Iv taken my dad's porsche carrera out to the tracks with the local sheriff who bought a SRT and my god.. that thing flys.
I say go ahead, i mean, life's short, have fun, but my favorite reason to spend lots of money on a toy is... "Hey, why not."

Viper vs. Pump= i think pump wins

 

To each their own. 488 cid seems to me would be a lot of fun to play with for a wrencher, not to mention the Viper is probably the easiest car to work on since the 60s. I wrench my own car so I wanted ease, simplicity and dependability. The Viper is all those.

Secondly, for a tracker like myself a Viper specific race series adds to the fun of owning one. I'm not into the bitching between manufacturers for rule changes.

But I can appreciate having fun trying to make any car competitive. It's all good.
