After driving one, I really didn't like it at all.

The Viper is rough, loud, and hard to drive fast-and I love it. The NSX is quiet, smooth, and incredibly easy to drive-kinda boring.

I wanted something that was more rewarding on track days. Plus, I just liked the Viper more

Looks great, but I still like the GTS.

Maybe one day I'll get into another one.

Yea but these goons get giddy over a used 30k NSX as well.


Oh and for the price, i think that viper kicks ass as a weekend car!! Very nice!

Nice ride man!! Gotta get a sound clip uploaded

I toyed with a Viper as the third car... but not sure the wife would go for it. So my short list is now; C6 Vette, Boxster S, Lotus Elise, M3, or 350z Roadster. Yeah, kind of all over the place. Depends what I can get the best deal on, and how much I want to spend next year on a car. We'll see....

All of the above are great cars, but serve different purposes! Depends on what you want-a pure track machine (Elise), a high powered sports car (C6, M3), or more relaxed touring machine (Boxster, 350).

Can't go wrong with any of them though!

The worst part is that the weather here has been absolutley B-E-A-UTIFULL!! It is killing me knowing I cannot drive it.


Oh, and the gas mileage-not bad actually. On the highway, I can get upward of 24. Now, playing around, I average about 18-20, better then my damn tahoe that has been averaging 16.5
