Actually about the quality of the product, yes I did get to drive one, no I wasn't impressed but that may have be down to the fact it filled the width of the road and you were always concerned about other road users around you.
Oh an I actually like the ZR1 but given the choice I would chose any other exotic sportscar from Europe ahead of it, as no doubt would just about everyone else.

I didn't "bring up the looks". Plenty of people did that before I got here. I just posted my criticism of the looks. I wasn't debating them, as there is no debate. Nobody here seems to think the car is attractive.
What does the Elise have to do with anything here? Yeah, it's a great car, but it's not at all in the same category as the Viper. Stay focused. Also, I like how you think the Viper is "just about the numbers". Give me a break.
Sorry you have narrow roads there. That has nothing to do with quality and everything to do with your location. The US is HUGE. Big country, big, wide roads. It fits our roads just fine. Being rather small myself (~170cm) I don't like driving really large vehicles. The Viper is about as big as I'd ever feel comfortable driving. By US standards the Viper isn't terribly large.
The bold bits only serve to prove my point. No matter what, you'll always buy European. And man, are you presumptuous!
"I would chose any other exotic sportscar from Europe ahead of it, as no doubt would just about everyone else." Don't go speaking for everyone else there, bud. You sure as hell don't speak to my likes and dislikes. Your (rather biased) opinion is yours, not the rest of the car buying population.
