Congrats and drive it in good health...they are awesome machines.

I don't need to tell you this as you are a previous Viper owner but be carful. At the last track day I was doing some engine map testing at, this guy brought out his new Viper. On his second or third outing, he managed to leave the track at about 125MPH (on the straight nonetheless) and went on a 50 yard trip through the dirt and rocks damaging 3 out of 4 corners and deploying the airbags. I felt pretty sorry for him as he had his elderly parents there taking pictures.

Enjoy the new beast!
From the posted pics it appears he had removed the rear spoiler before the run. Could that have contributed to his lack of control?
