Default Rode in a viper blahhh

just added in the blahh because thats not really exciting to anyone but me.
A buddy of mine from the fire dept has a lot of money in his family, and apparently a father going through a midlife crisis. He has a 2001 Midnight Blue Dodge Viper GTS coupe, 2003 White Mustang Cobra Conv., 2002 Mustang GT, 2003 Cadillac STS, 2003 Jag X-Type and 90s ford E series van (for djing business) and had a 2002 suzuki bike until his bro crashed it. Well anyway, he calls me up and says, "Im out in the viper since its so nice today, you wanna go for a ride?" so im like hell yea. he picks me up, and as we're leaving my neighborhood and turning onto the highway he says you better hang on, and buries the gas. I fly back in my seat and we hit 90 in no time. Stoplight. "Ok, this time, when I get on it, try to change the radio station," so im like, yea ok, its fast, but its not a rocket ship. Well he gets the green, slams it, and sure enough, there was nothing I could do to change the music. Even sitting in this thing at idle you get thrown around, and when he revved it the whole car would get thrown from side to side.. yea this thing was sick, i cant imagine having access to a beast like that... [/my story for the day]

yeah my mom brings them home all the time...they are fun to drive but i wouldnt want one...the suspension is so stiff that you hit a bump and switch lanes...the interior is cheap and creaks and rattles, it is damn near impossible to see out of, etc. I mean yeah is fast...but is it worth buying one....blah

yeh, i've gotten to ride in one as well...your right, those things hit 90 in no time at all, and it feels like your riding a huge wave of torque.
