I dont like the viper my self but maybe some of u do But thats Just my :2cents:

if you're bringing up the fact that it costs a lot of money and cheaper cars outperform it let's compare it to the corvette since your screenname is "ford hater" so you're probably a chevy fan.the biggest fact is
- the viper is more limited edition than other cars (you'll get so many looks that you'll fell like you're driving a $200,000 car) (that's why most people buy the viper anyway), you see at least 2 corvettes everday and you're lucky if you see one viper.

that and the fact that most corvette owners give you funny looks, which is a plus to me cuz you know they can't last 15 minutes in a viper on a track :)

I think they do that so not as many people buy them... sounds stupid but it is a sound marketing tactic.
