First of all, I need help posting photos... Who can I e-mail them to? Can someone help me post them please? Thanks.
The Amazing
- The driving experience. It's not a single factor. It's the combined effect of driving a Viper. When I am driving the car, I feel like I am in a world where everything is great. Owning and driving a Viper is quite possibly the most fun one can have w/o the company of **** kitten(s).
- Looking at the car. I still cannot stop looking at my car. It's truly beautiful. It doesn't look like a car, it looks like a dream. It's just like those **** kittens that I cannot stop staring at, even if it means getting into trouble.
- Woodhouse. Bob, Bill, Nancy, and everyone I talked to at Woodhouse are great. I am glad that they didn't get offended by my twisted humor. They did a fabulous job installing the Corsa 3" exhaust.
The Good
- Steering. It's probably a combination of steering rack ratio, tires, chassis, suspension, steering wheel, etc. I just love how it feels. Like real ones, they feel great, just the opposite of silicone
- Engine. I really use the rpm, but there is absolutely no sign of burning oil.
- Suspension/Chassis/Ride. Very little body roll, yet comfy ride. The chassis feels solid (see the unthinkable though). The car just stays planted and hugs the road.
- Exhaust. Looks and sounds great. Let's see if it's enough to depuff my car. I will probably put it on a dyno shortly.
- Headlights. I am surprised at how bright they are. A refreshing touch.
- Color. Very very classy. Too bad that the photos don't really tell the true story.
- Burning nice kitties legs. With those exposed legs in short skirts, all it takes is a little 'oops'. Being the polite person that I am, I always open the door for my passengers (alright, only pretty ones wearing short skirts). Since I am such a caring person, I had to hold and make sure her leg is okay after the contact. Unfortunately, my eyes never move up far enough to make eye contact because they got distracted by something else. Of course, after one burn, I need to make sure it doesn't happen again. So, I ask her to wait until I get over to the passenger side. Squat down and gently guide her legs with my hands protecting her from potential burn!
The Bad
- Interior heat. I thought the twin-turbo generated a lot of heat, but the Viper is actually hotter in the foot well.
- 120+mph acceleration. Must be the aerodynamics. It feels like there is only 450 baby horses. On the other hand, my SOTP is probably not working properly. Must be those sharp little claws...
- mpg. I have been getting 11 to 13. Who cares, right?
- Burning nice kitties legs. If I ran the car really hard, the burn can be painful. But then, who knows what they like anyway.
- Can't stop driving. After driving 1700 miles to get home, I thought I would have had enough... Nah, I put another 500 miles on since I got home Saturday afternoon.
The Unthinkable
- The crack. My driver side door cracked! I won't try to describe where. I hope I can get the photos posted. If not, I will e-mail them to someone who can help me post them. I can only think of 2 reasons. One is the chassis flexed enough to allow the contact, which seems very very unlikely. I am driving the car the way it was meant to be driven, but I doubt it's any harder than what you guys do... The other is the door hinge or the mounting is loose, but I checked it and found it to be tight.
- 3rd & 4th. WOT in 3rd, you have enough time for a coffee before you have to shift to 4th. Once you are in 4th, my right hand can get busy playing w/ kitty passenger before having to shift (if there is even enough road).
The Trip Home
- SD ticket. I was getting close to Montana, but I couldn't help but went over the speed limit. It's just not possible to drive a Viper slow.
- Montana. It was the driving highlight of the trip. For some reason, I "didn't see" speed limit. So I use the WOTCC (WOT cruise control).
- Awesome mountain roads and weather. Great weather all the way back, with some truly awesome mountain roads. It's not possible to be good. I am so lucky that I didn't get caught and put in jail.
- Nice kitties. No elaboration needed.
