I think it was a Dodge Viper.

It's a Viper.

0-60 in a hair over three seconds. Top end, over 200mph. Local guy who owned the Dodge dealership almost killed himself in one. Way too much car for him, too.

I had occasion to drive one of the new Corvettes a few years ago (I think it was the C7 model). Though there was no question that it was a powerful, powerful, machine, I never got the feeling that it would bite my head off and kill me. Granted, I didn't push it too hard, but it felt very controllable.

I had a similar experience when I drove a friend's Maserati. I don't remember which model it was (had 4 doors), but besides the Italian "let me make love to you baby" feel, you could tell there was a lot of power there, should you need it.

Can we all pause and realize the car without a hood won?

BTW Vipers are known for being fast...but also easy to spin out if you don't handle them correctly because of the uber powerful rear wheel drive.

Just lucky the jerk didn’t kill an innocent child walking along.
