She has owned a Viper sence 94' when the first ones came out. With proper instruction (which is all she is really looking for) I'm sure she will not lose control nor is she the type to not let someone pass.
That's really all I was looking for Mike- assurance that she more or less knows how to handle the car and herself without getting into trouble. If she's had a Viper for 10 years and hasn't put it in a ditch yet, she's probably okay. Besides, she's not even in my run group. It's jsut that after Buttonwillow, I'm leary of all newbie drivers, and newbie+ 500 hp + heavy RWD car = scary.
