I got the Viper first (2002 RT/10), now the Cobra. The Viper's a load of fun and handles well up to near the limit. Once there it will bite you quickly if you step over the line. Not much warning from the rear end. As the others state, the interior is all about driving. The newer models have the bells and whistles- HVAC, PW, good sound system, PL, improved tops, etc. The stock exhaust sound is piss-poor unless you really get on it. Get the Corsa 3" cat back system and free-flow cats. Much better sound, less heat and a bit more power. Viper Club of America is the best place to begin looking. Also look for books:
"Viper"- Matt Stone, Motorbooks Int.
"Viper"- Publications International, Ltd.
"Dodge Viper", Dan Carney, MBI Publishing.
