Default Took the GTS out this weekend

Took Viper and Vette out this weekend. What beautiful weather. Man I tell you, The GTS gets more attention than anything I could have imagined. Its crazy. From people pulling up on side of me trying to take a picture or video. Taking 15 min. to pump gas because everyone wants to know the info on the car, all the thumbs up from everyone. This is truly a car in a league of its own.

I also have a Vette and Viper (C6Z and 02 GTS). You are correct about the Viper. I was at a car show not long ago and my GTS got more love than any car there.

Amazing the GTS is 14 years old, still one of best looking cars on the street. Has aged very nicely. If I ever add a second sports car to my garage, a blue/white GTS will probably be it.

Agreed, It would have to be a gts though. Either black with grey stripes or blue with white

I noticed the GTS has the exhaust pipes exiting the rear and than have seen a few with the side exits. Is that ACR specific or owner modded? They are a beautiful cars without question. Best looking Viper ever still IMO with the 4th Gen a close 2nd

Nice!!! It is also the only American sports car that those Brits on Top Gear actually liked. They're a bunch of wankers..........

If you see a 2nd gen GTS with side pipes, that is custom, they were never sold like that.

As a New Orleansian I'm not surprsised . While nicer sports car are in the area they are few and far between. They are everywhere in Dallas, seeing one parked in the local high school lot reaffims how affordable they have truely become.

Always did like the GTS, would like to pick one up but I already have a loud, horrible riding uncomfortable car, my '68.

Best color combo you have in GTS Blue/white.

Must be nice!!!

I thought I was cool riding in my friends 350 NISMO at the Texas Mile. Heads were turning as I am sure most were trying to figure out what it was (he has the front bumper debadged).
