And that’s the second gen “Viper”, which I think was larger. The original really is wee. I was fawning over the one at the Haynes museum a few weeks ago

Gen 1 was the same overall size, but with only a slightly shorter wheelbase.

Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying. The kicked-up tail always made me think it was a touch longer overall

And here we are thinking that it's sixty years of engineering evolution that's made them now work, when all along it's just been big modern rubber!

I had a Cappuccino in the ’90s. I once parked it behind a Mitsubishi Shogun. I returned to find my car with a big dent at exactly the high of the Shogun’s rear bumper. I think they probably didn’t know it was there until they hit it.
