The Viper's evolution from a raw, violent roadster in 1992 to the sleek, world-class super-coupe of today is proof of its lasting appeal. With vastly improved creature and driving comforts -- like seat height adjustability, available leather, navigation and driving aids -- the Viper seeks to attract a more gentile crowd. But its brute power and precise 6-speed manual place it strictly in the "driver's car" category, and it's not for the faint of heart. Strictly speaking, no other car offers a visceral driving experience quite like the SRT Viper--and certainly not for under $100,000.
