It has a separate caliper for the e-brake, and its brembo!

Like I told you over on LOST. I envy you. I've never even heard that V-10 running. I have seen a few older Vipers around town, but they were just barely idling, no idea what they're like revving.

They dont sound like you would think. You can see where the exhaust comes out on the sides, and they get hot. When we would stop I could feel the heat coming off of them. The sound of a V-10 on the floor is unlike anything ive ever heard. Very, very, nice. \:D/ So deep and throaty, just, perfect.

I've heard about those side exhausts and on some older ones it was possible to burn your calves on the doorframe.

Lol Barbeque!

Lol. Yeah I remember Road and Track joked around about how if you picked up a girl in it, you ended up losing the points you had earned with the car by her getting burnt.

It's a good thing you didn't get a chance to drive it. If you did, you would be trying to figure out how to lift it so you could get MTR's under it.

0-60 is 4 sec and 0-100 is 8.4. It gets to 100 faster than our kj's get to 60, thought that was kinda cool.

lol. It wouldn't be so bad if that car wasn't $90k. (Rounded estimate)

You must understand what other cars it competes with and how much they cost. Everyone thinks the vette Z06 is the best thing in the world. It has less torque than the viper and less HP. It only beats the viper by 1/2sec in the quarter but thats b/c it weighs less. Put a super charger on the viper and the world would come to an end. O:) Can you say 1000ft lbs of torque??
