Is 2013 SRT Viper a real POS?

Seems like it is... Not sure if this is a review of a cheapo Fiat or 140k self proclaimed super car?

"There were other problems, too. One of the hood vents flew off on the freeway and caromed off the windshield. There was a persistent rattle in the right side of the cabin that was never identified. The Performance Apps froze the infotainment system. The paint on the edges of the rocker panels was being burned by the exhaust.

Finally, the Viper arrived mounted with standard Pirelli P Zeros on the front and P Zero Corsas on the rear.Set aside these issues, and the story is marginally better: Judges had originally placed the Viper in eighth. Many complained about an uncomfortable driving position and narrow footwell with closely spaced pedals that were easy to misapply. The shifter drew ire for needing a very strong shove to get into the next ratio, and the word "earplugs" appeared in many judges' notes."

Vent flying off the hood?  Rocker panel paint blistering from the get go?  These disasters should be pulled back by Fiat until Ralph Gilles can figure out how to slap more lipstick on this pig.  Last generation did not have these issues, what happened here?  LOL

The worn out tires on the press car is just another sign of Ralph Gilles'es incompetence as a leader of that bogus SRT brand from Chrysler.
