I know someone that had several Corvettes in succession during that timeframe. Then he decided to go with a Viper. He promptly crashed that car and then went back to Corvettes. He explained to me that he thought the Viper is an awkward car. He thought different engineering groups worked on different areas of the car and it was not well integrated
Another complaint was that many people thought the Viper sounded like a UPS truck and not a high-performance V10 car
Steve, thanks for the comment .
For me the design is the reason I like a car , I know those are not always comfortable .
and offcourse it must have a big engine.
regards
Simon

It may be awkward to those that are used to nanny aids to drive, as unlike the Corvette of the era the Viper has no traction control. As Motor Trend said "you can turn it with a tap of the gas pedal"!
Personally, I think the early RT/10 with the side pipes is an iconic design and they are very drivable cars, with gobs of torque.

Julian, I agree , also the 3 spoke wheels on the first series makes the difference.
Personally I find it a shame the later series are using more universal wheels.
