Both where not so great. The Diablo for three months only, it was the high dash board non hydraulic clutch version that had initially come out. Had a wow factor to it.
The Viper I had for over a year. It was before unleaded so it took half a hour to fill up as most stations only had the big nozzle pumps. Build quality was very bad. The roof was a mission to put on and it leaked when it rain. The drops fell right onto your left knee hehe. It also had a wow factor but was not a performance monster at altitude.
These cars made me never want to own a exotic again.

you are lucky to have had the experience... I can see by the cars you have now that something must have put you off :)
