They are still eligible to compete, however they haven't fared very well against the newer cars from Corvette, Aston, and Ferrari in recent years.  Much has to do with development, its all but ceased on the Viper while the heavy hitters (P&M Corvette, Aston Martin Racing) are constantly updating their kit.  The Vipers are all in privateer hands these days, with no new bits coming from Chrysler.  With each passing year its going to get harder & harder for teams using Vipers to get a nomination (unless they're French of course).

Doing well in Dutch GT is all very nice, however beating the factory Vettes and Aston's in ALMS/LMES GTS is another matter there buddy.  In recent years none of the privateer Vipers have been even close to the pace of the factory squads.  If they were still competitve, you'd see more of them on the ALMS grids.  Until Chrysler decides to race the new version, the old Vipers are going to have to be content to be grid filler.  As everyone has mentioned, they are still very popular in the GT ranks.
Very, very different regs between ALMS/LMES GTS, and FIA and domestic GT.

Hamsters or cats?  Got two of the latter, Max and Mooch.
When I was a teenager my little sister had a hamster, what my tomcat Chester did to him when the rodent got loose one night was pretty alarming.  The legend of the Headless Hamster still lives on in our family.  Had a whole lotta explaining to do to Susan the next morning.

'kin hell John.  I thought the lizard corpses and thrashing tails were disturbing when I lived in Tampa.  However, decapitated mammals is something we've managed to avoid for the most part.  My kid did ask me about a rather disemboweled bird under the deck the other day.  How long is "it's sleeping" going to work?


Viper - I appreciate your passion for the car - it would be nice if it could return to being a contender as in its glory days - but sadly I don't see that happening.
