so it shakes the earth when you run it, minor difficulty. The bigger issue is the bizzare V10 sound.

Default What?????

You honestly believe the sound is worse than the ride? I doubt it! I mean the sound will pierce your ear-drums for sure, but that's nothing when the ride will flat-out kill you!

well, as a daily driver, absolutely, but when you are just ripping around town, the horrible ride is fun (so long as you are not out too long). A nice exhaust note is okay to be loud, the sound of the viper is just itchy. These are two areas where the vette is lightyears ahead of viper.

Well I'd have to agree. Also, what mkes it worse is that this is the Viper engine, just literally dropped into a Motorcycle's engine slot. That just ain't right. Also, "ripping around" town sounds more serious when you're riding 500 horses! Ripping, yes, @ 640KPH, to be precise! This thing scares me.

yeah, but that is a really heavy and ugly 4 wheel motorcycle, who wants that. I personally have never engined the viper exhaust note, as it is a sorta whiny, uneven, annoying scream. The ride is terrible too. I have found that you tend to back off the viper sooner because of the really bad sounding exhaust, and then you look down at your tach, expecting to see it dancing at the 6k redline, and it is at 4500 at best. Not cool.

I DO I DO!!!!!! You think it's ugly?????????????????????? UGLY????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please tell me you're joking. It looks so cool and futuristic (like something out of the movie A.I.).

Well I can't say I know what you're talking about because I've never experienced a Viper (at least not when the engine was on ). But I do nkow this: at the very least when you park your Viper and you're walking away from it, you're guaranteed to look back over your shoulder time after time.

:P Yeah that's true! I'd love to drive a Viper! Screw the exhaust-note if it's amazing to drive and looks like that!!

it isn't as fun as it looks. I promise.

I'd take vette any day of the week over a viper. The pedals are tiny, close togehter, and off center. Corvette is much more fun too. It will do manouvers a viper could only dream about.
