Applied to the Ohio BMV for vanity plates and requested and got:

VIPR ETR

now have second thoughts, want

VIPR KLR

I can send plates back and get the second, what you guys think?

I'm in Ohio too! Can I have the one you don't want?

Anyway, which is faster the shark or the prancing horse? I'll bet the shark is quicker off the line but the horse has a higher top end.

That is correct. The Stallion, unbelievable handling, will wipe the c3 in the corners, big time
Like driveing a slot car.

George:
I would stick with ETR.

Your setup seemed to have slipped my mind for a moment. I was thinking "you better be able to back up those plates".....then I remembered the 533 and I was like "oh, ok :D ". :cool:

I hate snakes of all kinds, and haven eaten a few I can tell you they really suck. Taken out of context hahahaha I will always kill a snake before I would ever eat one.

KLR is my vote.

Each to their own, but I like the idea of little Viper pictures on the fender for every kill. You know like the fighter pilots used to do..... That's fair enough warning. Plus, the way your car must sound they should be warned while you are still blocks away.

I'm thinking "John Bulishi in the movie 1941". Get yourself a flyer's leather helmet, chomp a cigar, swill your favorite drink, pull that P51 (er... car) up to the gas pump and head out for the next mission.....
Waaaaaay :cool: . KenSny, I like the way your mind works.

Dave:
I don't think George's 533 will have much of a problem handling most of the snakes on the road....traction is the only real problem that I can see.
