New Ford GT

I concur with Les on the Viper privateer issue. It is really hard to do alone. When they first came out in 92, I think I was the only one crazy enough to semi-actively race one. We had a lot of "back-door" support from Dodge as well as from Mopar Muscle Magazine. After two years of running the car we had quite a few wins in SCCA Solo 1, and even held a lap record for a year at Sebring. The car was a monster -you really had to keep a handle on the alignment as it was a very skittish car on the track. After two years of racing, the newer Vipers came out and we were essentially rendered obsolete as SCCA placed the new coupes with 50 more horsepower, in the same class as the old roadster. I ended up parking mine in 1997 and now it sits in my garage in its last race condition. In another 10 years it'll probably be worth something for its historical value as part of the Dodge Viper's early history.
