Proper way to get in/out of Viper?

[Don_]

So I heard that the proper way to get in the viper is to plop your butt into the seat and swing your legs in. I seem to have difficulty doing this since the steering wheel is in the way and I'm not double jointed So to get out, it would be the reverse which is difficult to do also.

Wondering how you guys get in and out of your viper? Half the time it looks like I am stuck in the car haha.

The car makes up for any lack of flexibility and/or grace you display during entry or dismount. Try getting in and out of a competition coupe...

But seriously, open the door wide, go with the right foot into the footwell. Then depending on GTS or RT/10 you either swing your body in (duck for GTS) and land your rear into the bucket or onto the sill depending on your flexibility. Finally lift and insert your left foot into the foot well.

Again, depending on your personal flexibility, you'll have to make some different motions, sometimes lot of small movements will be needed. Best to take your time and do it right then to get caught falling back into or out of your car. Little kids love to point and laugh (actually envious adults do too). Good Luck.

Try putting your right foot in on the mat first, and then lower your butt.....grabbing the ssteering wheel and next put your left foot in and youre done..

I agree...getting out is not easy if you put both feet out first....Instead, try placing your left foot out first , and then using the steering wheel for leverage,(with your right hand) push yourself out...done..

Best, Dave

as* in seat swing legs in, reverse getting out. Be sure to "spring" out so you don't look like an old geaser!

I'm so excited getting in a Viper that I just take a running start and dive in the window. It's a little ******* the seats but, what the hell.

the proper way to get out of your viper would be at the finish line in victory lane after your smoke all the competition in a road race. the proper way to get in your viper would be to open the door for the trophy girl and let her get in your passenger seat 1st, before you get back in your viper and drive off with the checkered flag in hand to make your victory lap.

Don....C'mon man, it's a car not a space shuttle. Just get in and drive.

Did you just sell a turbo prelude for your snake?

I like this method the best ha

Just remember the simple acronym, "ORGDBLC".

Open the door.
Right foot in.
Grab wheel.
Duck head forward.
Butt into seat.
Left leg in.
Close door.

It's easy to remember, it's the word you always say when you forget to duck and hit your head. ORGDBLC *&^#%$!!!

If she has a skirt on ...never mind. I get in slowly, unravel and make varoom noises until the snow melts. I tried just letting the engine idle and then rev it some, but when I woke up some guy was doing mouth to mouth...I learned my lesson always open the garage door or EMS sends you a bill. just my .02

I use this, and it is great; leave it in the mesh pocket in front of my seat. The second link is the best showing pictures.

[BigCarrot]

You shoot yourself in the head, and just sort of fall in. At least that's my suggestion.

 

[RedSnakeGTS]

what is the proper way to wipe my a$$? should i stand up and dig? or stay seated and reach b/w my legs and slide forward?

 

[ledfoot]

I'm a butt first kind of guy........I'll let you figure out who's question I'm answering....

 

[JWVIPER]

Can you get a sneaky pete on that handi bar ?

 

[TZL]

Am I the only guy here who is not Old or Fat?.....getting in and out of a viper has never seemed difficult enough that I had to actually think about it.

Try clambering into the center seat of a McLaren F1.....trying to close the door...realizing that you can't reach the door....moving back to the passenger seat...closing the door....then climbing back to the driver's seat....now that is interesting.

 

[snowmann]

Try taking off you pants and putting your underwear over your head, that should give you some extra room.

 

[Torquemonster]

Just buy a sky hook and swing in....

just don't let go too early - it won't be pretty

 

[slaughterj]

It's easy to get in if you're not a fat bastard!

More importantly do you wipe front to back or back to front????

 

[Anthony - 98 GTS]

You put the right leg in......
You take the right leg out...
and you shake it all about...
You put the left leg in .......

Just when I thought this place couldn't get any better.

 

[Paul Hawker]

A trick to getting out gracefully, is to use your left elbow as a fulcrum. This works as a pivot which easily takes your weight off your legs, and smoothly levers you out of the car.
Getting in is easier, as gravity is your friend.
Atkins works wonders as well.
Enjoy your ride.

Do you think it might have something to do with me being 437lbs?

 

[ViperJohn]

Do you think it might have something to do with me being 437lbs?

Yes. But at 437, there should be quite a few difficult cars to get out of. Height is also a disadvantage.

 

[PaViper]

I use the davit from my old boat to lift me in and out...thats why you never see me get out once I leave the house

 

[Pat_L_96GTS]

Ask Mark from Ringgold how I got in my GTS during my test drive...Hey I am a fat bastard..but he didn't laugh.....to hard. It made me join the gym.

 

[SoCal Rebell]

To think, I've been doing it all wrong these years!

 

[Pat_L_96GTS]

Really it doesn't matter how you get in. It's when your getting out that you realize you just had one he!! of a good time. Darn car makes me smile like a new dad every time I pull the cover off.
