I have a few friends that have "too much $$", and they are great guys as well! But they can never talk about a Viper when thinking of buying a car. It's always a Mercedes or BMW, Porsche or of course Ferrari! Although, one of my friends likes the SRT-10 alot!
But they all think my Viper is BAD A$$, and it only takes a short drive for them to NOT UNDERSTAND why I would want something so damn SCARY!!
The usual question is, "Why do you want so much power"?
Funny story, one of them has a '02 TT Porsche, he wanted to see my car and check out my Heffner work. So I go over to his place and he is drooling over my car walking all around it. I lift up the hood and he is looking around for a minute and he asks me a question that floored me! He asks with dead serious, straight face, "So, is all that shinny stuff what makes this Viper twice as fast as my Porsche?"
I chuckled, said yes, all the shinny stuff!
I have many other stories like this from others, but I don't want to type that much!
All of these guys have awesome cars! They don't really want them to drive them hard, but to relax and just have a nice car to drive sometimes.
Some people just don't have the personality to own a Viper!!
