I haven't had the chance to drive a GTS or RT/10 yet, and I may not be able to drive one before I buy..... which is something I am leery of. I would much prefer to drive one and get a feel for it before I test-drive whichever car I might buy - that way I can draw a comparison. But with the winter weather and salty roads out here, I doubt I'll get the chance before Spring. And if I find a deal I can't walk away from I might bite the bullet...
But my question concerns the clutch pedal. I've read and heard rumors, not sure if they were from Viper owners or just folks spreading info they know nothing about ..... but they said that the Vipers have a heavy clutch. Can anyone here with C5 T-56 experience draw a comparison for me?
I ask because on occasion I get stuck in 3 hours of traffic from the GW Bridge to New Haven. I've worn my leg out in 60 miles of stop-and-go traffic in the C5 before. Not killer, but I'd like to know if the Viper clutch is "heavy" or just heavier than a C5. I tend to doubt that it is as bad as it has been made out to be. Otherwise there would be more posts and a general stink about it over here. But I thought I would go straight to the source for this one.
