   I must admit that I've never heard a Viper at WOT going around a track
to add the doppler effect and all, but at Carlisle '99, the Dak area
was right next to the Dynojet, and I did have the opportunity to hear
a few Viper GTS's making dyno runs. I didn't care for the sound at all.
    Don't get be wrong, Vipers are awesome and I'd love to have one,
but IMHO, my little 318 sounded better up on that dyno. :-)
