About fifteen years ago I had a client who had a couple of them. He took me out to the new four lane bypass on the southwest side of town and ran it up to 165. It felt like nothing. Then there was a cross road coming up so he braked it back down to bout 65...no sweat.

He had me in one another time on a little two lane and started goosing it around and swerving back and fourth. That made me nervous caus I was not sure we wouldn't end up in the ditch with a fence post penetrating the upside down cockpit.

He got rid of all vipers shortly thereafter saying he needed to keep his license.

I've never driven one. Big engines and big tires don't interest me nearly as much as light cars with precise steering.
