I saw a show on TNN (Roadtrack mag) that showed a Viper with the Venom 550 package. $30,000 for
an upgrade of suspension and engine. 0-60 was 3.9 and quarter mile 11.9 or so. They claim the
handling goes to over 1.0g's in slalom. They also claim its faster than any other vehicle
made...and much less expensive (roughly $100,000) for the whole ball of wax.
