Yeah, the video where the TA beats the ZR1's Laguna Seca track record explains that the first Gen V cars sent to magazines were preproduction models that had issues. The cars that were released for sale don't have any of those issues.

i have zero personal experience with driving any Viper and have only been around them on the road, at shows, sales lots, etc so i can't speak from personal experience. but don't you think if you were to send a car to a major magazine to test/review you would make sure it was maybe your BEST car and not one that wasn't checked over by your QC department several times before being shipped off to be put through the ringer and then on YouTube?

Yeah, I think so. But I'm sure they learned their lesson. No biggie. The guys who own them and drive them know the deal, and with the new price decrease, the remaining 600 that were still in showrooms are selling like hotcakes.
