I'd venture to guess the tape you're looking at is to help prevent cone-rash (looks like an autocross event).

I normally would have agreed with you, but it's grown on me. Maybe because I'm in the car and not hearing it from outside...but stock it's not terrible.

Both rocks and cones. Those brake ducts are actually pretty much the widest part of the car and snag rocks like you wouldn't believe. The front wheel will kick em out pretty good and it will snag that area of the fender.

Z06 is by far faster. I raced a Gen 2 Viper in the Z06 and had em by 2 cars by about 100.

Congrats on getting the viper! On a side note is 96 & 97 the years they had the problems with the front part of the frame separating under hard load/ track use? I thought they had to recall these for rivets/ welding to fix the problem.
