Hmm...a tighter grip on reality?

Given that a Viper has a twenty year advantage in engine/suspension/chassis tech, your best bet would be to get....wait for it!...another Viper.

I know that my car will take an '08 Viper in a straight line without issue. A base model I can probably hang with decently at the track, at GTS or ACR would require a widebody or something along those lines to play around with.

Assuming you're serious, the first thing you need is around 15-20k dollars. Once you get that, doing some reading might help.

With the amount of money you would need, you could at least lease a Viper ACR. An FD would probably be a better platform to start with. Either way, you're looking at a lot of money starting from scratch.
