Default Lookey what just showed up in my driveway......

Friend of mine called up and said his buddy just bought this Viper......

It's a 1994 with 38k miles. It has some minor imperfections in the body due to a bad repair and the interior is not in such great shape, but he is having the bodywork redone next month and having a new interior put in. Mechanically, it's sound. And--get this---he only paid $21,000 for it......

He took me for a quick spin and if you're like me and have never ridden in a car with this much power, oh my goodness....I was giggling like a girl the whole time. The acceleration will just about take your breath away. I sat in the driver's side, and noticed that the pedals are pretty offset to the left to get around the transmission. That was a little wierd, but for $21k, I'd pay that all day.

Default those cars are defined as follows

stoopid fast. Skippy Barber using them in some schools - the pedals were pretty uncomfortable for me actually but that thing gets out of it's own way thank you very much

i spent A LOT of time behind the wheel of one...its pretty easy drive distance....but to drive it fast, you need to tread lightly on the loud pedal....

Default they're fast, but aren't really known for longevity...

I remember when cycle world faced a middle of the road sport bike against one. They were pretty even in most things, but they blew up one viper and had to get another to continue the tests.

What's up with the driver's window? Am I seeing things or is it curved?
