Any ideas where I rent one in the UK? Can't seem to find any leads on this. Thanks.

ive never seen a viper to rent for a day, but where do you live and what do you want it for and how long, there are some viper owners on the forum who im sure would be willing to help you out

He wants to boot it around the countryside for the day to see what it'll do, any Viper owners want to help him out?

I spent weeks looking for one to rent. No no no. Not one was available. But someone contacted me from the Viper club and offered to help out (not in the "here's the keys sonny bring it back with a full tank" sense but very helpful all the same).

Go to america there's a couple of rental companies out there, go on a track day the one where you drive 4 cars, or rent mine unlimited mileage and restrictions
30 grand a day minimium 2 day hire...... Seriously, maybe find a owner who will take you for a spin thats about it. They aren't the easiest cars to drive, (espicially the RT) fast straight away, you have to put some seat time in to feel confident you'll come out of the corners

kevinday, handling is quite fun, super fast steering
which can be hard to catch for the novice if you find your rear coming around, rock hard suspension with loads of grip front and rear. I find it a challenge to drive fast down bumpy country lanes, best on A roads. Only ever let 2 people drive and they both did rather poorly

interesting...I thrashed one round Snettereton a while back (supercar experience thing) and thorougly enjoyed it....was the most pleasant surprise of the day considering what I'd read about them! really adjustable, very chuckable and quite forgiving. The only thing I found difficult was that the gear stick is bloody miles away from the drivers seat and I had to lean forward slightly to change gear...and I'm 6'2"!
