Being Realistic.....
I would have a modified G8 since it starts with an LS3 motor and I could drive it daily.
WAY better looking than the new Chevy SS too.

I've heard the older vipers don't handle all that well. Any truth to that? I used to be a member of a Dodge Dakota forum, and people on there said the Viper shared a lot of front suspension components with the 2WD Dakotas. Says way more negative about the Viper than positive about the Dakota if true. haha

Saying they built the TA just to beat the vette is going a bit far. Yes, it's a version of the car that performs better than the base gen 5 and yes it's faster than a ZR-1 but that doesn't mean the vette was the purpose of the car. Does Ferrari build scuderas to beat vettes too?

A little subtle for you, isn't it, Rick? You would need to start modding immediately! Personally, I've gone small. I sold my Titan, and HHRSS, and bought a GTI. It's a blast to drive, and the mods available are endless. WAY more comfortable than my Z, too. Since my second spinal (neck) surgery, I drive my garage queen rarely, and I can no longer work on it. That's the worst part for me.
