It's far from civilized however I love the Viper though- always have, just not for a daily.
2002 have anti locks and no footwell heat issues pipes run under rockers. Livibilty not great comfort is a vet all the way that's why they are so popular with old people. power seats traction control dual climate ac select-a-ride.... You can supercharger you vet if you do the work yourself for about $7000 (supercharger and ARH longtubes racing cats) then another 500 for tuning. If you stick with 550-570rwhp you will be fine and no motor issues. Install is a **** though, removal of steering rack to key the crank or go further like I did and do the cam bolts also. It is not a user freindly set up for work, but if you decide to do it A&A corvette kits are very good or you can use ECS superchargers in NJ for a kit or install. If you decide to do it yourself I can walk you through all of it
