Viper Owner
My dealer shipped my new blue/white convert to my residence after dark last night, around 6p.m. So my photos are not up to par. I'll get some daylight photos today or tomorrow and post them. But this is the smoothest shifting Viper I've ever owned, including my '05 with Hurst shifter.
And all the talk about the side sills being hot are pure B.S. The ambient temp. in Louisiana was above 70 degrees, yet I put my bare leg against the side sill when the engine had reached almost 200 degrees, and the side sill only felt a little warm-absolutely NOT hot. My '05 sidesills had been hot until I put hiflo cats on it, and the hiflo's cooled them down enough. But the '08 side sills are even cooler than the '05 with hiflo's. So don't even think about changing the cats due to heat, because they are NOT hot.
This car sounds like it has catbacks, even with only 7 miles on the odometer. I drove it a total of 16 miles last night because it had rained for 15 minutes earlier in the day, and the road was a little wet. I won't open her up until I put some miles on her. The hood looks great, and the steering wheel has a carbon fibre design at the top and bottom sections.
Overall, I'm 100% satisfied that this is best driving Viper I've ever owned. I can't wait to hook up my GTech and give her a go. I won't take long getting the first 500 miles and oil change.
