The modern 'Vette has always been a phenomenal performer in the ugliest packaging imaginable. This one, though... simply stunning. :drool:

Are you serious??? Who the fack gives a shat about the stupid bluetooth and stereo on a Viper?!?!?!?!?! Thats like having a high power offshore boat and only talking about how good the trailer looks.

I know right!  I had to pinch myself thinking I was in an Autos.ca dash-stroking nightmare.   ;D

For real - they had a guy from wired magazine (for heaven's sake) do a big segment on it.  http://www.speedtv.com/programs/speed-test-drive-viper-srt/

Thats just idiotic, how about some track time, 1/4 mile sessions, discussions with the engineers that worked on the chassis/engine/body. The last thing most normal people would care about in a Viper is the CD player.....hell, if youre doing it right, you cant hear the radio over the engine and exhaust......what a waste of a test drive.
Lighten up Francis.....

C2 Corvette = gorgeous

C3 Corvette = early models were attractive, especially drop-tops

C4 Corvette = Clean, but far from radical or exotic

C5 Corvette = Looks are coming back

C6 Corvette = Exotic car looks

C6 Corvette = Exotic car looks

Hmmm...I though it was nice, but never "exotic car" looks.
