A friend of a friend picked up a Viper ACR (2000ish, not entirely sure) last year, and I'm here to tell ya, it is NOT the best choice for high dollar cars to drive around on the street. Sure, it turns a lot of heads and I'm pretty sure that's a big reason why he bought it (he also owns a very nice H1, look at me guys!). Throw some race meats on it and it'd be a lot of fun on the track, but it's just too over the top.

For one, it's hot as **** in the leg area of the cabin at all times. It's so tight that if you give it an ounce too much juice around a corner, you WILL spin out (ib4imabadassdriverandwouldneverspinout). The exhaust running down the side is really cool too, especially when you forget about it and burn your leg trying to climb out of the thing.

I'd rock an H1 if they weren't so expensive... They're the only hummers that get respect from me.

umm a used viper is actually decently priced in fact my dad had thought about buying one from a guy locally but instead payed a few more bucks for my moms srt-8 charger

I would asume that a car that pricey has a full belly pan especially when my moms car does (well did untill we hit 3 racoons on 1 roadtrip)

the h1 is the only hummer that is truely a hummer the others are glorified trailblazers and colorados which break easily and have near no offroad abilitys

I like the H1 hummers more than the H2/H3's, but the only dealership I saw that carried them new were all rusted along the bottom of chassis and rotors. Some were outdoors, some indoors.
