Daily sports car?

The Viper is the only car I've seen bikers get off their bikes to go see at a gas station.

My buddy’s Viper. Check out the license plate….lol!

If I had the cash. I'd be all over this. Yes, it's a GM I would actually buy. *gasp*

My dream muscle car growing up. 0 to 60 in around 4 and a half seconds. Not bad for 1987.

Would make a great daily sports car.

Here's one you can afford:

I like to own cars I can drive. Adding miles to that one would be punishingly expensive. What good is a fast cool car if you can only look at it (or pay $10-100 a mile to drive it).
 
I almost bought a Stealth in the early 90's.
Salesman must have thought I couldn't afford it, as he pooh poohed me away.
We ended up with an Acura instead.
 
Acura was stolen two years in. Blew a rod in it, just under warranty. So, yeah, I would have driven the hell out of the stealth.

Replacement Acura was way more cash, as in $8,000 more at the time, so we ended up with a Subaru Legacy turbo that lasted for ten years after, right until the point where the oldest was getting too big to sit between the car seats.
Found out that you can get an awd stuck, when you lift all four tires off the ground.

Then chevy minivan. :( Then honda minivan :)

I love our Honda Minivan, but I'd really love a Stealth R/T or Mits 3000GT VR4!
 
My ancient Cadillac (LSV powered 6 speed) is a sleeper. Nothing more fun for an old bald old guy than smoking kids with tuner stickers all over their expensive ‘fast cars’.

Did you take the V-badges off or are tuner kids just dumb? I saw a mean sounding V on the may home from VRRA. Sounded like it had straight pipes. Not my favorite sounding car, but the best sounding cadillac by far.

I'm still waffling on whether to turn the screws on the daily driver. ~$4K doubles the power and makes it quite fun and still reliable. It is money lit on fire though. You never get any of it back. Also requires a switch to premium. But on the other hand. weeeee.
