This months Road & Track lists Cruise Control as an option.
Tell me it isn't so.

Might as well have all the comfort. Cup holders now, TOO!! Purple paint??This is almost as bad as when they added electric windows
Before you know it, people are gonna start asking for heads up displays and low glare angel eye headlights! They already added ABS and power mirrors...let's not get out of hand here, lol.
I like the idea of keeping it simple, I'm still on the fence about whether or not I would want ABS or not. I also wouldn't be driving it in the rain though, so I can see some folks' point of view on ABS...
The point it, the Viper should be kept simple... stock. That's why I'm also against factory SC and TT.
Anything you want to add when you get it... go for it!
The guys here that think Motons/Penskes should be added stock, I don't think that that's neccessary either. How many people would really use the performance shocks over what they have stock now?
My vote goes for keeping it basic..............but I really could go for an outside temp. gauge.
The brain and foot gets tired on long trips; I'm not interested in absolute driver control when driving the speed limit for long periods - cruise control is a simple lightweight solution to this problem. The current aftermarket solution isn't good enough. Don't tell me to drive a Vette - already did that. Dodge has lost a lot of market share to Chevy for the more comfortable, safer alternative. Some of that is intentional, but we know not all of it was. Race car for the street - I like that but I don't to go too far with it. A lot of you drive a different vehicle for those trips - some of us would still like to keep the excitement of the Viper for these trips which won't be lost with the addition of cruise control.
The excitement of the viper is that it doesn't have all the comforts and nannytech. If you don't understand that then that's ur problem. Read Herb's statement above.![]()
Herb's not winning, check out the new models.
I haven't fiqured out the 'spare tire' thing in the back of my race car thought that's what pit crews were for.I love my cruise that Jon B sold me. It works great and It only weights 2 lbs. You know, a BigMac and fries.
