Ha coastline, you're not wrong. The louvers in front of the windshield are stuck on. They're not factory pieces and frankly I have no idea where one of the previous owners got them. I've never seen them available by any of the viper aftermarket producers. I prefer them over the recessed grated vents which fun fact, only one is functional. The other is just for symmetry though it can be drilled out to work as a vent. Bra is long since burnt once I painted it, look at the newer shots.
It's definitely one of them Bill. It's easy enough to drive around town, I can go from 1st to 6th and just put around at idle in sixth gear if I wanted it's just when you start to lose it. When you don't respect the throttle it's so hard to save. It really does just bite your head off. Even With 355s rear and 285s front you can break them lose and if you're not careful you'll be ass first into a tree. I've spun it once not a huge full 360 but enough to go "****" let's not do that again.
As for the size, that picture is a little deceptive though it is a surprisingly small car. It's definitely wider than the 996 I think about half a foot but length is almost identical. The 996 cabin inside might as well be a living room compared to the viper. I wouldn't call it cramped but there's not a lot of space inside with that hood taking up half the car.
In other news up to 13.6mpg from 11.2 when I last averaged it lol.
