Guys,
Just an observation, but perhaps you can help this noobie (me) out. I have two 94 RT/10's. One is basically stock while the other has like $60K in upgrades to make it very much a track car, including upgraded EVERYTHING.
So today, while driving the Z06, I **** the steering wheel back and forth and the car is solid -- no leaning, no twisting, no nothing... it turns instantly without hesitation with each ****.
The Vipers (even the modded one with race suspension) does not feel this way. As I **** the steering wheel back and forth, the car feels like the response is slow. It feels like the rear end turns just a bit after the front end does. It doesn't feel anywhere near as solid as the Z06.
So my question is, is this normal for all Vipers, or is it only on RT/10's since they are convertibles and perhaps not as structurally stiff as a coupe is? I haven't driven a Gen2, so it this localized to just the Gen I's?
When I bought the car, I was told the car handles 150% better than a Gen II does, now with all the upgrades. So, I am just curious. I know the technology in my Z06 is many years newer than a stock Viper, but this isn't a stock Viper and the upgraded technology in it is newer than that of my Z06.
Sorry if I am not explaining this clearly, but I am having a hard time describing the feeling. It feels almost like there is a slight bit of body roll (hesitation) from left to right, where the Z06 doesn't have this at all.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
