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.
