I Am Out of the Closet - I AM A HATER
I was a god fearing, non-violent pacifist that ate nothing but apple pie. My life recently changed, I am now a hater. I have to thank a few of the “Enthusiasts”, especially the ones that have never owned a viper, their knowledge is amazing, they know so much, Yes, they have taught me to hate and I am deeply indebted.
Here is what I was taught about the Gen V- thank you again, knowledgeable enthusiasts:
1. The V was beat by a ZR1, the V was not a production car and the ZR1 was possibly a ringer, but, it still lost - just makes you hate the V.
2. The V beat the ZR1 to 60 mph, that is bad, it accelerates too hard.
3. The V has bad seats, the seats were changed, but, they are still probably bad, I hate those seats
4. The V has bad tires and there are probably no other tires in the whole world that will fit - that is very bad.
5. The V has an improved interior, that is bad, someone will be looking at the interior while driving and get into an accident - I hate nice interiors.
6. The V has LED lights, very bad, I don’t know why, but, if an enthusiasts says it is so, it has to be correct.
7. The V is 150 lbs (with track pack) lighter than the IV, that is really bad, I hate light cars.
8. The V has a lower center of gravity, when you defy Newton you know what happens.
9. The V uses a lot of carbon fiber, what is going to happen to the steel mill workers. The unions will also all hate the V.
10. The V has 40 more hp then the IV, that is not fair, it just causes more hate.
11. The transmission ratio is vastly improved, that means too much shifting - very bad.
12. The V higher numerical differential ratio, that means it will wear out faster, again bad design.
13. The V has a 50% greater torsional rigidity than the IV, that will cause a lot of back injuries. I hate going to the doctor. It might not be bad, the affordable care act is giving me free health insurance.
14. The electronics package has earned several awards, someone must have been paid off.
15. The V engine runs cooler than the IV, that means the driver will have to dress warmer in cool weather, I might be wrong on that one, the “enthusiast’s” did not explain that clearly.
16. The V has a world class paint/finish, that adds weight, what is wrong with SRT.
17. The V has the stripes painted under the body color, what was wrong with them, you can no longer feel the stripes.
18. The V is a hard top, how can you get sun and wind in your face - terrible decision.
19. The V has an option for a 18 speaker sound system, for sure, that will ruin some hearing. The AMA is sure going t like that.
20. The V has customizable dashboards, that sure sounds like a lot of trouble.
22. There is switched power to the rear view mirror for a radar detector, someone will go to jail in Virginia,
23. The SRT version is $10,000 more than the 2010 IV, that is way too much - who can afford that.
24. Most of those V’s cost more than $150,000, no one buys the $98,000 version.
25. The V has stability control - why couldn’t they get an exemption from the government.
26, The V has more head room than the IV, that could cause head injuries - way too much open space.
27. The V has a premium leather option, just give me more hp, no one wants leather, I hate leather. I especially hate leather on the steering wheel, why do I hate it, I was taught to hate all that is V by this forum.
28. The V has a lighter flywheel, that was probably for cost savings.
29. The V has lighter valves, probably another cost savings move, that is the way to go SRT, cheapen that car up.
30. Why do the head lights look like a snake - whose idea was that, definitely a negative.
31. The tunnel has been lowered, everyone prefers the higher awkward tunnel, I hate good ergonomics.
32. The V has internet connectivity, who cares, these are race cars - I hate the internet.
33. The V has way too many colors and options, these are race cars, I hate options.
34. The V has a true cold air intake, the snow will get into the engine and cause rust.
35. The V has cooling ducts for the brakes in both the front and rear, that means the brakes will get really dirty.
36. The V has solenoid operated doors, just something else to break - I hate technology.
37. The V has cup holders and storage, that will cause spills and possible electrical shorts.
38. The V has a large touch screen with navigation and dashboard templates, what the hell is that for, just more for me to hate.
39. All this does not matter, the car will not be our till the end of the 2013.
