Had to raise some cash,almost flip a coin.But the viper was worth more so had to go.
plus the vette would be diff to replace.

Took the lambo out,feckin heck.for a v10 it revs like an R1 YAMAHA.
Everything felt different fly by wire throttle like switchy.
The brake pedal has a strong return spring which feels like the actual brake
only you dont stop,so press a bit more ,ah theres the brakes no biggy but what with
the switchy throttle and the brakes i was like a learner driver. biggrin
It just needs dominating.
Clutch is real light,and the gear ratios seem more like the mrs honda, short, you get
into 6th easy.
Steering seems great does`nt dive about or track much.Also power steering gets stiffer
the faster you go,like on the vette which is great on m/ways
Ride seems firm slighty boncey but not harsh at all.
The sound of it coming out the garage on cold start gave the mrs a grin from ear to ear.
I`ll be out again today,if i see a viper i`ll try and keep upbiggrin ,if i cant
i could do the Chris tt job on it .
Off to see if the spoiler comes up at 80mph.
