I've never felt anything that fast, It was the thrill of a lifetime. The car was so powerfull but so control at the same time, without a doubt it was the quickest I ever hit 145 MPH!!!!!. Doug is a true pro and a gentleman, and nooo he doesn't let anybody drive his customer's cars. But off course everybody already knew that!!!!!! Thank you Doug for taking time out of your busy schedule and showing me around, it was everything I expected and then some.

Was this his yellow Viper. I heard it is just the base kit, but is an incredible car. I go to the Keys every year and I may have to drop by one day and take a look at the place.

I can only think of one 800+ HP machine there right now (hopefully). Did it look something like this:

That's awesome.
I was wondering, how much does that package add in weight? And how much does that effect the handling? I mean, after all, that IS more weight added to the front, and no weight added to the back to balance it out.

Actually, Doug has added a fuel-cell to the back...

I did not know that. Thanks for the added info.
Still wondering though, since a fuel cell weighs less than a gas tank, would this not make any difference? Just trying to understand the balance of things with such additions to a Viper. :)

That's not an 800 HP car, that's a 950 HP car (816 RWHP)
