Orange Peel!
I was at a dodge dealer yesterday and they had a black viper in the showroom. Say what you will, but it is a menacing looking car, way cool looking. BUT- the orange peel especially on the hood was the worst I have ever seen. For 85 large they could color sand before clear in my opinion. It was so bad under the lights that it really took away from the car. I hav read this post before about our C6 but except for my rear quarters, my yellow paint is very good with no peel on the hood or hatch.

Should be interesting when Dodge introduces its new “baby” Viper to directly compete with the Corvette. The standard Viper will then be aligned with the Z06. Let the games begin!
