Have you driven a Viper lately?

I don't know why I haven't posted this before, but about 2 years ago I was living in Indianapolis, and working at a Kenworth dealer. I had been working there about 3 months when the owner of the place came up to me and asked if I'd go and pickup his new car. I agreed, and had the shop foreman drive to the Dodge dealer just outside of Indy.
When I told the service manager who I was and what I was doing there, he gave me this very odd look. Looking back, I guess I would have too.
He took me to the delivery area, and there, sitting in all her glory, begging to to driven, was this beautiful piece of machinery I have ever gazed upon. It was a brand new, red, Dodge Viper GTS.
It had 1.4 miles on the odometer. When I dropped it off, It had 57.5 miles on it, and it was only 25 or so miles away.
As I pulled her out onto the highway, I dropped it into first and came to a relative stop, and then nailed the go pedal. The feeling I had could only be described as one of pure bliss. Grabbing second, she let me know just what she thought of the tires, as they were now just fuel for her smoking pleasure. Third, finding some resembleance of traction, I shot to 90mph faster than I could comprehend. Fourth was more hospitible, yet at will, I could have gotten her out of shape. Around this time I was running out of road, as I had entered the highway at more than 120mph, and was still gaining. The cars ahead of me were getting out of the way as fast as they could, but in this car, it was not fast enough, I has to brake....hard.
I wish all of you could have this experiance, it truely is one of the greatest cars in the world. The owner of the Kenworth dealership never did ask me about the extra miles on it, but he did ask if it performed like it should. I never did know what to say to that.
