Same goes here, except for the $10K part of your post -- you're leaving a LOT of $ on the table.
I want to like it. It's USA-made, would complement Ford GT, Corvettes in garage.
Others adore it. And it is a beast on the track.
But just can't pull the trigger for variety of reasons.
Nice to see some enthusiasm, to counter the indifference above. Viper is an awesome machine. You either believe in the force or you don't, Luke Skywalker.

This is part of what sits in my garage currently -
The Viper is a pretty serious beast and although it lacks any and all of the creature comforts, she's sure a blast to drive. Fast and glued to the road, albeit a dangerous beast. Not much around sticks to the road like a Viper...even the GT won't beat it in the handling department. It sounds like a modified tractor, but it goes like stink and it's one mean ride. The Z06 is no slouch either and it pretty much does what the GT and Viper do in stock trim, with all the creature comforts, but the Viper has way bigger grin factor. I wouldn't give it up - she's my DD in nice weather. But if anyone thinks the GT can be dangerous under WOT with cold tires....it's nothing when compared to a Viper. Viper's are more like 427 Cobra's in terms of dangerous cars...but I wouldn't have a garage without one.

I am very biased , but I would say that we all owe Dodge and Viper.
In 89 when , American sports cars were pretty stagnant, my friend , Bob Lutz convinced Lee Iacccoa to replicate a car near and dear to Bob's heart, a Cobra . He was given $50M and 2 years to get it done and did.
That decision turned the American market on its ear. Corvette came back, ultimately with the Zs which I doubt would have happened. Ford may have decided on the GT, instead of some older models it was considering but I doubt we would have seen the power, and some of the Viper guys were involved with GTs.
Long way of saying, a Viper is not a GT and vice versa, but the Viper is responsible for much good that has happened in the last 20 years of sports car production

I've never seen anyone modify a GTS with an RT/10 roof........good job Larry
Looks a lot like my 97 rt/10 just a different color 
Detroit News had a story that they were cutting production and shifting staff out of Connor Ave due to lack of demand for the Viper. Said they've only sold 426 units this year. Not so hot.
