Impressive indeed but I thought it sounded a little "ricey". I know I'm nit picking but I prefer the sound of a V8 over the V10. Sure can't argue with it's performance though :).

Vipers are great cars but in my opinions sound like a UPS truck. I will never understand why Mopar desigined an engine from the ground up and allowed it to sound like azz. :U

If only the sound can match the looks. :yesnod:

Awesome car Ben. :cheers:

Yes. Kick azz performance, but it sounds like my uncle in the morning after a long night of burritos and cheap beer.
