Default Oh. Muh. Gawd.

AWESOME night at the local cruise-in!!! A gentleman attended with his brand new SRT Viper! Definitely stole the show. Ok, I know that may not excite many of you vette guys, but it is one of my childhood (and adulthood!) dream cars. Got some great photos with it and a local ZR-1.


This photo was taken / retouched by a pro.



The rest of the photos were taken by me (non-pro) and not retouched.


The trifecta



It doesn't look tight, but trust me it was. I had about 20 people collectively holding their breath and crapping themselves as I backed in. Of course I obtained permission from the owner before attempting!



Yours Truly



We did a little photo-shoot by ourselves. This is where the first photo was taken.






















Hope everyone enjoyed!

Great photos. The new Viper with all the improvements made is one awesome machine. Thanks for sharing.

It appears to me that the Viper designers had a competitor in mind when they designed the exterior.

Was at the local Dodge dealer in the last week with a Viper SRT on the floor. MSRP $140,000+ OMG Does the average Dodge dealer even know how to treat the guy who is able to buy one???

I agree, I didn't even think that was a viper at first, I thought it was a C6 with a body-kit? I like the old RT-10s/GTS, but I'll always be a vette guy. COol pictures brother!

I think the c6 wide body holds it own in looks to the Viper. Just my 2 cents.

The new Viper looks better from the front, but the side view still looks like a clown shoe.

Gotta say I do like that new Viper, but make mine black, please. I'm still not totally sold on the C7 yet, but if it grows on me enough, I'll wait for the C7 ZR1 and be sure I can spank that Viper. Like they say, go big or go home.
