the viper mistake

[yevgenievich]

Just similar pictures for now. First decent drive in it and couple of things not that great. It is slow, no dead pedal for left foot, no lockout on reverse, relationship between clutch pedal and throttle is odd. And I did overpay for convenience of not having to drive far for it.

Does 180* turn around just fine, shifts fine and can move around town at pretty much idle

It's slow?

I do like the colors

Not too much of a difference compared to a 08+ Corvette. I like suspension and steering better so far. Short throw shifter should help with faster shifting

383 Blown Hemi?

Looks cool a least. I've grown fond of the dead pedal for the left foot as both my camaro's have it and one is an automatic.

No dead pedal? Even my 1997 Taurus has a dead pedal.

I hereby sentence you to watching all 78 episodes of this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viper_(TV_series)

Made a noob mistake. Ordered oil for viper and the e320 wagon and couple of other vehicles. Then after receiving realized that usual 5qt quantity is not enough for either. Viper takes 10-11qts and e320 8-9qts.

How far is it from the brake pedal? With auto, you should be using your left foot for braking..

She is one beautiful car! That is my favorite color followed by the blue.

Blue with the white strips on this body is awesome.
This one looks great too.

So far, have ordered a short throw shifter and a new key fob. Next will need to check if rotors thick enough to turn and/or if need new pads. The Dallas car was better sorted, and today owner actually contacted if my offer was serious and in cash. But already bought this one.

Not that I need another car, but since I'm in DFW do you have any details on this?

The other one is marked as sold. Was a 97 gts similar color with big brakes oil baffle upgrade, cam and two sets of wheels with new tires. Being 97 would also have been a motor with forged pistons.

Had a buddy that drove like that and never figured how he could do that. That's gotta be weird. I actually tried it once and I don't have the right feel in my left leg and would push the break petal too hard making for jerky stop. Never tried again. Lol
