Hi FCHATTERS, Wondering if anyone on the board can compare a Gen III VIper to a 599 GTB. I have not driven a 599 as of yet, but would like a sense for how the two cars compare. Differences in Ride, Handling, Exhaust Note(If you have owned a Viper you will understand why I ask), and any differences in Fun to Drive experience. Thanks! Joel
Joel, I owned a 2001,2006,2008,2 2009 ACRs and now own a 07 599. I call my 599 a refined Viper because it does everything better with much less drama,lol...Now some would say that the Ferrari may sound soulless espcially because of the F1 tranny but you really have to drive it to see for yourself..I had the HGTE handling kit installed and took off the secondary cats and replaced them with straight pipes; the 599 sounds blissfull at hard RPMs and unless your a track rat will handle all public roads at a good clip! It begs to go faster and like a 600HP Viper is like a locomotive as far as power is concerned.. I have only put 1k miles on my 599 but to ME it outshines the Viper in every way albeit at a much higher price...Iam anxious to see and here how the next gen Viper will look and drive as with new GOVT. regs it will have TC,stability control or whatever you want to call it. I know this all sounds nuts but my 599 is in the classifieds,lol looking at a 16M but more than happy to keep it if I cant get my price....Good luck in your search..Kevin
