Cool, lets go through life stashing cash like a paranoid freak and never treat yourself. I can't wait to have a bunch of money to spend when I'm 70 and decrepit.

Read Chris S's article. Then read it again! Wait until the money you are spending on this Viper is truly disposable. If it is all you have saved, it is not disposable.

I had this decision to a year back and chose not to. I would wait, if you are second guessing the purchase because of money it probably isn't a good idea. I would wait atleast until you have some money stashed for repairs if need be.

OP - I see you are in Canada.... perfect environment for a high horsepower car with no electronic nannies to slow it down. They love cool tire temps to put down all that torque... 
if you do get a viper don't follow this guy.
here is what happens in central pa on Black Friday (probably 40F) when the tires are not completely warmed up... I just happened to be right behind this guy in my RX8....

Thanks for all the great info, Im going to sit and wait on this one. All i keep on thinking is, I would buy the viper and then i would be screwed if something happened and it's not worth it. It has been my dream car since it came out in 92 and despite it being a beast, I still want one even if it's going to kill me hehe.
Im going to wait though. Thanks for the help on this one thinking straight.
