1.more than a half dozen times or so, Mustangs or Corvettes, (or on one occassion a Honda Civic!!), will pull up beside me at a stop light....rev loudly and attempt to peel off in front of me.
Can I expect these shows of macho-ism to be a routine event?
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Yes, and it never ends. Get used to smiling and waving them off.

2. I AM TERRIFIED TO PARK MY CAR AND LEAVE IT!!!!! This car attracts attention, like a hot naked woman showing it off for free!!!

Always park up close at restaurants and way out away from everything, but in plain site at malls.
Never let a valet drive it. Slip the valet $10-$20 and ask them to move the car that's in the space you want and park it yourself.

Don't get in the habit of watching other people instead of the road.

Get in the habit of a thank you smile and a wave anytime you hear or see someone looking.

4.The owners manual states it "occurs in certain conditions"...but what are those conditions.
Is there a way to over-ride this feature...is it a bad idea to over-ride this feature?
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Putzing along at a slow speed, such as in a parking lot causes it. It doesn't bother me, but yes you can eliminate the feature without hurting anything. I think the tech section on this site has instructions.
5. chic answered this one.

6.does any one know of any driving schools occuring in the midwest in the near future? What kind of driving experience is required for these schools? Do I have to drive like a Nascar driver...or will it simply provide me with the knowledge tools and experience in order to adequately handle this car?

Definitly do some road racing and get comfortable flogging your Viper around a track. Sign up for a Viper Days
www.ViperDays.com event. They are safe, fun and worth every penny. There are also clubs like Porsche, BMW, etc. that will have events in your area. Go to
www.chasinracin.com to find tracks in your area.
Good luck and congrats.
