Driving along, just minding your own business, and you notice the nutter that's been following you for the last 10-miles is now trying to photograph you with his mobile phone and desperately control his car!!! yikes

Contrary to a lot of posts here I love the fuel economy. Very frugal.

That is compared to the Ram SRT and the 427 Vette and the Aston.

As for dissapointments...it has to be brakes.

Been out in the car today for the first yime in a year...I'd forgotten how quick these things are. Immense torque.

The fuel economy in the Viper was better than my 4x4 so I kept the Viper! Last year we did 23 mpg cruising back from the NEC Dream Rides.

Lights are poor, internal trim is pretty basic and the original soft top and windows are pretty claustrophobic when fitted - and of course they leak.

Gen I sill corrosion is probably the main problem.

Like everyone else it does work the muscles in your face trying to hold that wide grin when that right foot goes down!

Headlights a little poor for high speed night driving
Brakes just cant haul the beast easily down from high speed
Rear window that can take forever to demist
Can tend to track on some roads
But by far the worst is the Freeze or Fry heating system.

All of which I can live with for the grin factor
