How would you like to be called up by Chrysler one morning and asked to test drive the new SRT Viper? What if they sweetened the deal by flying you out to California to compare said test drive with the 2006 Viper?  Such seems to be the life of a writer for Jaloponik which causes me all kinds of jealous rage.

Mike Spinelli was given the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the highly anticipated 2013 SRT Viper GTS. What was his take on it? I would say he walked away so impressed that it left him dizzy. So much so that he is telling his readers to to realigned their expectations of the modern sports car.

His love for the Viper is apparently through-out. Most notably is how much his thoughts on the interior design has changed. The old insides where “cramped, cheap, and had a transmission tunnel that could cook a standing rib roast.” Thanks to the upgrades that were made with the Kevlar cushion and fiberglass shell, those previous complaints are gone. “The cockpit feels more snug, which is a subtle difference, but an important one.”

All it took was spending a day with the past and present of the Viper to turn one car lover into a devoted fan of the new SRT. “The new Viper is everything a sports car should be, tight, capable, immensely powerful, usable, and absolutely out of its goddamn mind.”
