I'd hold on to what you have. If you send it back, they'll probably charge you another fee and if they're anything like PA's DOT(BMV) you'll end up getting VIPR LVR!!

VIPR ETR & VIPR KLR both sound pretty good.

Have you made any actual Viper kills?

By the way, that is a beautiful roadster you have.

Why give 'em a warning. I figure a loping idle is fair warning. :cool:

You could get a viper photo decal & post it upside down in the rear glass. Enzo Who would make a good plate- wait, disregard that. Have always thought the year model only as new cars are displayed would be good- 1968.

Between the 2- VIPR KLR.

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.....

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.
