45% of men would like to drive a race car before they die -- we do it all the time!

[Swanny]

Interesting USA Today stats:

USA TODAY Snapshots - USATODAY.com

Drive a race car = 34% (men and women)
Ride a motorcycle = 29%
Sky-dive = 28%
Run a marathon = 23%
Bungee jump = 18%


So, does driving a Viper = no regrets!?

Personally, I've ridden a motorcycle, I've sky-dived (which is more of a thrill than bungee jumping), and I have never had any interest in running a marathon (or even a 5k!) Because I drive a Viper is there nothing left to live for!

I've been tracking my Vipers 5-10 times a year for over 10 years, and driving a race car is still at the top of my list. It always will be.

So is the viper really a race car???

I gotta think that a 2010 Viper was probally at the actual race car specs of race cars back in 2002 or so????

I seem to remember the C6R's only being 600 HP or so back then

Real racecars don't have doors. I have a Viper, but it isn't a racecar.

Thought for the day:

Racecar spelled backwards is racecar.

Have you competed with your Viper on a race course? If not, then you're not ready to go. Sign up for the World Challenge Series and we'll watch you compete at VOI 11? Then you won't have regrets?

Silver State Rally is on my Bucket list. Hoping for somewhere around 130mph average speed?

I'd have to say, that the Viper is a thinly veiled Race CAR!! A wolf in Dogs clothing if you will. Everything about this car says I was developed from race cars, not street cars.

Have you bungee jumped to make that comparison?

I think you've got it backwards, I've done both many times. skydiving is nice and all but try leaping off a high object and watching the ground rush at you only to be pulled up at the last second.
