i'm glad they worked out some of those issues … it would be frustrating having a $100k car that skipped the QC department so it's good to hear they're back on payroll. i'm also glad that you are enjoying your car and hope you continue to do so. thanks for the info!

Well, the only thing I would say is that the QC department never stopped working as it was a pre-production car. They all knew they had issues that still needed working out, but they were tied to external timelines that were out of their control (track rentals, magazine print dates, etc.) The important thing, really, is that no car with issues ever made it out of the final production process into owner's hands.
Further, as far as I'm aware, there have been zero recalls for any Gen V Vipers, compared to what I consider a massive amount of combined recalls for both the C6 Corvette (including the ZR1 and Z06), as well as the C7 Corvette. So from a recall perspective, Viper quality seems to be perfect, compared to Corvette quality, which seems to be very flawed. And this is coming from a C7 owner.
