Viper

Yes, it's that rough...it runs cool now since I've done headers and pipes...so no issue there, but it's still everything I said it was in my previous post. It's like driving a Cobra...

I had 3 Gen fours. They were fine and did not run rough. My 92 is another story.

I wasn't referring to the engine running rough...it runs perfectly smooth!

If you have another quick look my original post, you'll understand what he was referring to in the next post where he mentioned "rough"!

I got into a flame war with a guy on the Porsche Forum and he referred to my 99 GTS ACR as a Clown Shoe. I was devastated and never looked at the car the same way again.

You're worried about what a VW Beetle on steroid guy said about your Viper, if your Viper is a clown shoe, at least it doesn't sound like a vacuum cleaner Porsche. Vipers are just cool cars, yes Dodge made a faux pas here and there (not enough horses, not enough exterior changes and a beating by a 5 year old ZR1), nevertheless it's still a cool car and no true car enthusiast wants the brand to die, so hopefully they will re-assign Ralphy boy to something else and bring someone like Callum or Camilo to kick it up a notch or two.

Every time I hear a new 911, sounds like a loose exhaust clamp is rattling

Looks crap, sounds crap is a non starter for me

I understood--I just do no personally agree that the ride is rough. Gen 1 certainly is and Gen2 a bit better, but by 3 and 4 there is nothing rough about them IMO.

I have a Gen3. I would say the ride is "rougher" than the GT. Suspension is very stiff and if not on smooth roads you feel every pebble and road imperfection. It's a visceral car with great presence.

Agree it is rougher than GT for sure.

No, it wasn't about the ride either. Si here it is: I'm 6'2" and 250 LBS. It's a piece of shit to drive, because I'm stuffed in there like a sardine, and my eyes are about in line with the top of the windshield. I have my left knee about 1/4" away from the bolster...and my head almost touches the rag top when it's up. I can't put the steering wheel all the way down, because my hands hit my legs when making lock to lock turns. The ragtop when up, rattles and squeaks...

Other than all of that, life's good! LOL
