Its within a tank of gas drive there. Probably take you 3 tanks to get back in that thing.
Cool car though.
I have a '13 GTS with ACR brakes, wheels, tires, and some of the aero package. Strictly for the track the Viper W/ACR package is a great car, but the full ACR aero package provides so much downforce, that it slows the car down too much for some of the other things I've used mine for, namely open road challenges.
When it was stock, I could get 21 mpg just cruising. With forced induction and almost 400 rwhp more, it gets less mpg.
The 5th gen is a much more refined car than the earlier generations. Better build quality, much nicer interior, but it also handles better, and is just more pleasant to drive. It's still a bit loud, and the door sills can get warm, but not really hot like earlier generations.
It's a blast to drive, and you don't see others too often, but they do garner too much of the wrong kind of attention sometimes.
