The car is an oldie, but a goodie. Shes a 1994 Dodge Viper. I had to go over his house to have him sign some documents, and when I arrived, h was just finishing up a nice coat of wax. She really looked good. Anyways, I had him sign the documents, and handed him his proof of insurance. He then immediatly responded by saying, "You should take her out!" I declined, and he persisted.
I decided what the hell. I sat down, and those seats were decently comfortable. However it was nothing like the seats I am used to in my Mercedes. I fired her up, and it sounded thunderous. It was rattling everything, I could feel my brain bouncing back and forth.
Anyways, pulled her out onto the main road, and opened her up.
DEAR LORD, it was louder than my old diesel when the exhaust fell apart. It easily ate up the ticks on the speedometer, and I had to stop at 80. It pulled much like the 600 does, but in a different way. It packs a whallop when you hit that 1-2 shift, and will light up the tires. I then had to turn around, and nailed the gas. It sounded like no other car pulling to redline. It had a deep sound that sounded like it was growling. It wasnt much of a handler though, and the brakes kinda sucked. It had lotsa fade, and just wouldn't cut it for me.
Anyways, it was a beautiful ride! I will post the pics when I figure out how to get em off my phone!

Sweet! I also drove one last summer. Friend of mine dropped by with it. It sounded like an airplane landed on my driveway.
The thing I remember most about it was the sound of the engine and the crushing acceleration. It felt like the car was going to simply blast off the road. Fun car!
