I was surprised we didn't see more of the GT3 Vipers too. The older CC seemed pretty popular over there and I would have thought that with GT3 being the same mix of cars in every series that a team might have snatched a few up and used the fact that they were the only Vipers on the grid as a selling point to drivers/sponsors being able to stand out more than yet another 458/SLS/Z4/R8.

I don't think we will see any Cadillacs in privateer hands either though, as much as I would like to. This seems more like a factory PWC effort than it does an effort to build and sell a GT3 car.
I did see a video of a viper testing at spa recently, but that is literally the only one i know of over here in Europe at the moment. Not even sure what team it was to be honest.

EDIT: It was R Team Raceart
