#1 your going to piss off steve with one of those items you identified, the world doesn't need to know that

I did however notice that most of the things you didn't like were for people that are not your size, so your right, you did reach a bit for those 5 annoyances :)

I thought about not posting #1 for that exact reason, however, if you do a quick google search you can easily find out how to do it. If someone wants to get under your hood, they easily can. My video is not gonna make or break anything ;)

Nice videos. Conclusion: If you're fat, infirm, or stupid enough to leave your TA parked for a prolonged period at a government subsidized apartment complex.....it probably ain't for you.

At 71 years old, entering and exiting any year Viper coupe is my #1 complaint.

Used to hop in and out of my 02 GTS ... no anymore ...

Looking at a Wrangler or SRT Charger or 300C Platinum ... DAMN!!!!

I have used the adjustable pedals and I would have to say that is on my like list. My list of loves about the Gen V is much longer. Most of the things on your hate list are an easy remedy. The hood issue I will agree with
You on that one, maybe not the best placement. The remedy is simple, never leave your car unattended in a public place or take it somewhere shady. The hot door sills after driving, that can fixed with heat wrap on the exhaust,
Carbon fiber door sills (these replace your factory issued). Etc. Etc. My favorite complaint though was not enough room. Dear lord, you didn't buy a minivan sir. I laughed my a** off on that one.

Ha! Agreed - lot of the complaints were petty but done on purpose to really show that there really isn't much to complain about. The cockpit is tight for sure, but it fits me perfectly so I don't mind. Anyone over 6 foot I can see it being a little cramped. The previous owner of my car sold it to me for that exact reason - he couldn't see street lights when stopped LOL

Nice videos and I love the orange. Always wondered why it was harder to get into the hatch than under the hood.

Here's my dislike list:
1 - I don't have one
2 - Can't afford one (***** but have to be honest with myself). Love my 98 though!
3 - hmmm...

Can't think of anymore. Guess I'll stop at 2.

Sounds like a good time Steve. Halfway would put your ass here in Texas with me. What are you, about 6'7 in boots? That'd be a good enough deterrent for most people :D

I had a friend move to Az

He told me it was the perfect place for him



He said
"Where I can be HOT and no one looks at me and laughs"

Prescott......

A very good friend of mine has just recently moved there from Seattle. As a retirement gift, he bought a Copperhead Edition

So when you see Silverback aka Dad, say high for me

Do you mean your Dad is here in Prescott, its not a big place, I can meet him and say hi, if you want. I have not seen any Vipers in Presott yet, lots of old cars and bikes.

He's moving as we type, the viper may not be there...yet


John is a very good friend, so much so, there are a number of us that refer to him as Dad. i guess because he always refers to us as kids
