congratulations!!! please write a review of your new machine when u have the opportunity.
Okay, I have only driven it about 20 miles. Having had a Gen II, Gen IV, and now the Gen V, there are several things I noticed right away. Some of these probably sound silly, but oh well.
I'll get more detailed after I drive it a bit more this week.
- It revs much faster than prior generations.
- It is the best sounding stock Viper I have ever heard.
- The car feels SO TIGHT and much less squirrely.
- The shifter is phenomenal. It's very smooth and love the short throws!!!
- The door closes are quieter and seem more solid.
- The difference between street and race mode suspension is night and day. The car rides very smooth in street mode. If you close your eyes, you would not think you were riding in a Viper.
- You can lift the hood with one finger.
- OMG the interior...really feels like you are driving a very high end sports car....well, I guess I am.
- The touch screen interface is very well designed and I love how you can configure your gauges. It is full of features.
- Okay, the 18 speaker sounds system sounds AMAZING. Lots of low end bass and a nice mid-range.
- The steering wheel is nice and thick....feels really nice in your grip.
- The seat fitment is perfect for me. I'm 5' 11" and slim. I did not notice the seats being hard as others have mentioned, but I have only been in the car 20 miles.
- I'm impressed so far.
More to come next week....
