I know that it's too many letters but his tag should say "Sounds Funny". Because I really don't like the way they sound.

Great pics Jim

We may make fun of the clownshoe - but it still has 100% Rock Star Status wherever it goes.

But I prefer my C5

I agree. It just can't sound as good as an LSX motor to me.

Good looking Viper. And of course, your car always looks good.

I love my Z but Damn I have always loved the Vipers!

And I agree the plate on the back of the Viper shows respect!
I had a Formula I ran for along time with the tag VIPRETR. Why because they were the street kings at the time.

Anyways great shots of my two favorite cars!

Soon to be Viper Owner: "OK, ok---I'll buy this car but only if you put on a set of Gabriel HiJacker AirShocks......yeah, just like the set I had on my 66 GTO!"

Dodge Salesman: "No problem sir. I'll have one of the mechanics pull her into the service bay and we'll get right on it lickity split. Just sign right here on the dotted line."

Theres nothing about the c5 vette i dont like and i would never get rid of mine but the viper is a pretty sweet car and if i had the extra cash id buy one easy and the new viper has 600hp which im sure is one of the reasons the vette SS is going up to 650hp so its nice to have some compitition between companies to keep things fresh...
