JMHO, but I would say it is closer to the new Viper than the R8, but better than both.

I really believe they took a "2014 Viper Hot Wheel " and put it in a 3 D printer for the full size car. Every inch of that car is cheese ball sleazy . A tractor pulling vehicle is more high tech.

I should not "sugarcoat" my opinion of the Viper but it is the 4 wheel equivalent to the Kawasaki ZXRRRR14 commercial of a green lizard bike. I hate it.

Just to be clear, my comment was about the interior of all of the cars.

I think the C3 Corvette has a more attractive and higher quality interior than the 2014 Viper. I see the the Viper as way over wrought and a missed opportunity for Fiat.

Whatever happened to "form follows function".

By way of ANALOGY (look it up if you mistakenly think I am making a direct comparison), if Corvette is the Ferrari on American muscle sports cars, Viper is the Lambo (over the top). I prefer Ferrari to Lamborghini unless I am in the mood to be over the top.
