weird question?new car smell?

[Rossssi]

can you guys describe your cars interior scent?

I am not sure if the dealer put in some type of air freshener or in fact the
NEW VIPER smell might be different than other new cars. <font color="#666666"> </font>

It's the smell of the fiber from the materials used in the car. An owner I'm very familiar with has 4,000 miles and his always smells like new. Great smell.

"New car smell" is actually the adhesives in the car that hold the interior together. Smells great but it's kind of like sniffing glue.

Is that why I feel so giddy when I ride in/drive a Viper. I thought it was because of the "loud pedal."

Sure, like standing downwind from a BBQ with no food cooking yet... but thats just me...

Do I smell a roast? Oh wait, that's just Bonk flaming himself. Pretty lame, my bad

Mine smells like the carbon fiber dash kit and V-Mania roof.

ROTFLMAO!!! Good one Bonkers! The smell is a combination of the leather, the plastics, the adhesives, the carpet, etc. I wish it stayed with the car forever! Diferent cars with different materials have different smells.

I believe part of the unique smell in a Viper might be the out-gassing from the composite body panels slowly curing. If not that, then the construction adhesive used to hold it all in place. I don't notice it much anymore, so either it slowly goes away or it eventually kills the brain cells responsible for that function.

I really liked the hot Viper smell for the first few months and it slowly went away...such sweet perfume...

Then, a few weeks ago I added a VEC1 and that's changed the smell again. A different smell altogether that I can't put my finger (nose) on...

If this helps, I previously stated that Lee had his Viper for 4,000 miles, that was also in about a year and a half (over two years now, not sure on mileage), and it still had that "new" Viper smell when I left MD last.
