For myself, I chalk it up to--that's what you get with a hand-built car.

Not that I personally give a crap, BUT I see the following as justification of anger.
1) different era. The 90’s were a long time ago
2) nobody gave a crap if the Viper was going to be reliable, manageable or even any good. It was specifically built the be raw and a challenge to handle.
3) in the USA even the lowest quality cars have impressive panel gap today.
4) perhaps the most hyped (not by the manufacturer, but by fans) car of the last 20 years and as such expectations are sky high.
5) all of the exclusive cars I can think of currently in production are 200K $+ and have exquisite build quality, there’s some tendency to judge this highly in demand car by the same standard.
