I'll make this as short as possible........
I was waiting for a 06 zo6 with my dealer and to make a long story short i decided not to pay the dealer mark-up and walked away.
So I picked up a 03 viper with 4500 miles on it, and only owning modded vettes I wasn't sure what to expect. (i never drove one before i bought it....)
Car takes alot of getting use to in my opinion but to get to the questions.

when the car is first started and for the first 10 minutes of driving the oil pressure is pegged a 80. This doesn't seem normal but is it?

When the cooling fan comes on it feels like the car is coming unglued,,,is this normal.

I'm sure i have a few my questions but i'll start with these.

Thanks

80 psi is normal when started cold and it comes down as it warms up. Cooling fan extremely noisy? May have an out of balance blade because I don't experience that at all. Oh, congrats and welcome!!

Thanks---
I have a appointment tomorrow with the local dealer. The SRT guy told me over the phone that the fans are normally very quiet, but i figured i would ask people that own the cars. Like it said before thanks, and thanks for the welcome.
