BBS wheels should certainly be kept on that car.
Only thing I never understood is why they routed the SRT/10 exhausts out the side, and the GTS exhausts out the back as little pea-shooters.
Stupid cars, stupid engines, stupid economy, big clunky gearboxes, lathargic handling.
But still excellent cars.
Its one of those "passion" cars.

To say im jealous is an understatement. Wish my dad had/has cars like the vette and the viper.
Only thing I prefer the GTS without the GTR spoiler on it. Also prefer these in red, but still an absolute stunning car. BBS rims really suit it IMO.

My dads had all sorts of cool cars, he had a brand new black mk2 golf GTi back in the day, which was black with the factory gold center, silver lip.
He sold it too a mate who stuffed it on the bath road into a lamppost giving it too many beans a week after

25 seconds faster than a car with half the horsepower, driving the wrong wheels, and not too muich lighter...
Not bad, but not exactly WOW either. They are big heavy cars with a truck engine remember.
Chassis is a good basis as its been prooved by LMS racing.
In standard guise though, they are quite boaty and heavy.
Still would have one!!!

Thing is...supercars all tend to have a niche. Ok so they may not all handle that well, some dont even perform that well for their prices...but the Viper is a true legend. The sound, the styling, the mammoth engine...just a proper drivers car. Not like this technology loaded rubbish like the GT-R...one computer failure and you dont have a car anymore...I want flywheel horses not digital horses!
Stunning car and worth every penny!

i know what you mean, not the best performance car you could buy and not without it faults.
But end of the day, it's fast, it's noisy, its damn cool and it one of those childhood dream cars to me.
