Re: any viper owners with knee replacements --can you get in and out and drive you vi
I had my left knee replaced and was back to driving in 6 weeks. No issue with that knee getting in and out of the car.
You should be fine, no worries!
I'm sure it will be good. And, I'm sure that a loaded C7Z will be near or maybe over $100k after you tack on all the go-fast stuff such as the Z07 package, etc.
But - it still will NOT be a Viper. Different strokes for different folks; I'm just glad there are choices.
Compared to most cars, the Viper - regardless of Generation - has a lower roof line all the way around. I'm 6'1 and my Gen IV was hard to see out of the windshield until I found the sweet spot for pedal placement, seat position on the rails, and amount of seat back recline.
Once I did it was...
Thanks for the reply. I think you might have mistaken my citing the Edmunds review as being so torn. I'm not, but, I do appreciate the abilities that the C7 offers and to do what it can do with nearly 200 hp less shows what kind of car it truly is, performance wise.
Having said that, you should...
While it may not seem fair on a performance level, the C7 Z51 actually out performed a Gen V in the slalom, on the skid pad, and in braking in the Edmunds Review. The Viper walked it in the quarter, but the handling aspect of the C7 is very impressive.
The new Z06 will be in another league, yes.
I test drove my C7 before I bought it and was impressed.
But looking back, I was way more impressed when I bought my Gen IV and drove it from Goergia to NW Ohio - without a test drive first.
Now THAT was a great drive!
Nearly EVERY Viper dealer I've spoken with have NO CLUE how to sell a Viper. High prices plus salesmen without any idea how to sell these cars equals 800 cars sitting on lots with a 400+ day inventory.
And with only $5-$10 k in dealer cash that can be selectively applied to 2013s only is...
Yep, I think you're right. For me, the C7 is lacking in visceral appeal, excitement, and what it requires of you as a driver. It is an amazing car in so many ways but for me - and it's just my opinion - while it has all the potential in the world, it just does not grab me like the Viper does.
I...
That is very true. The interior, while initially impressive, is nothing like the Gen V's. The car is very refined though and it's efficiency as well as the electronics are impressive.
But it just leaves me wanting more. Maybe it's the respect factor my Gen IV made me feel? The C7 always feels...
