The Viper is beautiful......

But why does Dodge have to go and ruin it with that "Durango" nose job, they seem to be putting on every car they make lately?!?!?

Enough already!

Mark, I haven't had any problems with bottoming out in the fender wells...but I'm no were near as low as yours.
It's a shame if you have to raise it up any, sure looks good in that slammed stance..

The wife and I were at the Orlando drag strip last year. I was suprised to see that the Vipers were not turning very good times in the quarter mile. I'll be the C5 Z06 would beat it on the quarter mile.
