My opinion: The Quad Viper Truck is a fabulous piece of machinery that is:
1) Well designed-The whole look is ten times cooler than the Harley truck from its lines to the unique scoop on the hood. It is a definate showpiece that will attract lots of attention
The seats are well bolstered and keep you well planted for the activity that is intended
The push button start and the 160mph speedo is another great idea
Driving impressions: Coming from my Truck and from driving the Harley, you can definately tell this is a lot of truck and there is no mistaking it when you are driving it, the way it is designed its proportions are clear from its rounded front end to its wing at the back-It is not a grocery getter.
Suspension wise it is a lot more compliant and responsive than a Harley truck(In stock form in a Harley you feel like you are on a boat on the high seas) a kind of swaying motion. The Vipertruck is a sportstruck and although its suspension is well setup, you do not want to race someone and have your morning coffee in it especailly with your significant other because you will be selling it right away(It is not a lexus)
From driving many V8's and from listening to many exhaust setups, you can definately tell this is not a V8 by any stretch of the imagination. The UPS analogy is a very good description here IMO.
You need a lot of torque and power to really move the Viper truck and there is no if,ands or buts about it. Whereas in the Harley there is a more seat of the pants feel in the low end which is more what I am accustomed to. I love low end torque and lots of it LOL.
IMO I think that the Viper Truck should come standard with a blower and I personally would choose the Roe bearing in mind there are a lot of upgrades that may have to go along with it.
Conclusion:
One has to decide in the end if one wants a bad a$$ mean looking truck(Viper) that commands lots of attention and they are prepared to invest substantial capital to get it to the point where it needs to be with no fear of destroying its heart among other things in the process.
Let the bashing begin
