Is it because it's a Gen V or Because it's a TA2

[Special Ed]

I had a Gen 3 and from time to time people would ask if they can take pictures of the car. The car I have now I can't take many places without three to four times the picture requests and a whole series of questions. Happily more than 50% know what the car is, but is the attraction mainly because it's a great looking Gen V or because it's a TA2.

It's because it's a Viper.

I agree, people could care less what gen or model, all that matters is that it is a Viper.

[BJG32]

It's the center caps...

Same here and I don't have the wing. I imagine that wing makes your car stand out a bit more though....

I stopped in Harlem one time to get gas. I did not think I was going to be able to get out of the station.

Folks take pics here in Dallas, but in the midwest and the south, its damn near like the paparazzi show up at every stop.

Put stupid ass stickers on it and people go berserk.

Have to agree that those stickers are indeed stupid ass.

Yea, but rallying with your buddies across the USA is fun as hell. http://jalopnik.com/forget-the-gumba...lly-1725380688

Ed,

Its both, but mainly the wing. When both of us were at the track and our Vipers were parked side by side, I noticed more people were admiring your Viper than mine...thus why I am getting one with a bigger spoiler/wing...bigger is always better right?

Wing Envy is a real thing...lol

[drewsss]

Have to agree with that!

[ViperPete]

Mine is like a celebrity too.

Sometimes at intersections its like traffic just stops to look at the car.

The thing i like the most is when people are behind me at a light and they always point and smile at the Stryker 3rd brake light! I can read their lips... "whoa a Viper!"

It's because of:

1. Viper
2. Aero
3. Color

Then when you pop the hood, people rush the car to look at the beautifully displayed motor, but suddenly start drooling at the carbon fiber X brace.

Word. Love the blue... I have blue envy for sure... The totally cool thing about it is I don't see other super cars (or other cars) that color ever. Wife said no to the fin, otherwise I would have a 2.0 blue

[ViperJon]

You're special. Ed.

[BlknBlu]

real Vipers cause car crashes for gawking....lol Had it happen to me with 2 wrecks within 2 hours from staring

My Gen II got attention, but it was NOTHING compared to what my Gen V gets. Maybe it's color (old one was red, new one is yellow), but I think it's just a sexier looking car. I really can't drive a mile without seeing the back of 2-3 cell phones.

Yes...definitely the color.

99% of people don't know the difference between a gen 2 and gen 5. People think my 96 GTS is a new viper lol B/W gets rock star attention everywhere it goes.

When I first got my car, everyone was checking it out in my town. Now they purposely look away, or stare straight ahead to show their "disinterest", and mask their envy. Our town is a summer-time vacation destination, and I can always tell who the out of towners are because they're taking pics and pointing like crazy. It's pretty funny.

Even with all the snobs around in their AMGs and Bentley around here, the ol American built Viper still gets its picture taken at every light. Even had a Cop tell me how nice it was this Sunday; that's a first in the 40-50 times I've been pulled over.

I was coming out of our local Home Hardware last summer. It's located on the hwy and is about 1/2 a km out of where the town really starts, so I decided to put my foot into it through 1st and 2nd gear before starting to slow down. As I entered the town a cop was on the other side of the hwy and through his lights on. He walked up to my car and told me he clocked me at a little over 120 km/hr back there, and unfortunately it's a 60 km/hr zone. So basically he had me doing over double the speed limit. Here in Canada, once you are over 40 km/hr over the speed limit in several provinces, including mine, they impound your car for a week. You have to pay the tow, the storage for a week, the ticket, and the increase in your insurance............ brutal. Anyway, he says, "You know I can impound your car eh?". And I acknowledged him, so he goes back to his car to run my name through the database etc. He walks back up to the car, hands me back my license and registration, and says, "If I had a car like this, I'd be doing the exact same thing. Just slow it down a bit ok?" I was blown away!!! I said "Absolutely, thanx." Sometimes it pays to have a cool car................ I bought my Redline radar detector the next day. It's saved me a few times since..........

How long have you had this car? Would you recommend ta 2.0 . You have the car I have been looking for

I've had it for eight weeks. It's my second viper, I've already put 4000 miles on it. To say I enjoy driving it is an understatement. I was fortunate that this car came available two days after I sold my Gen 3.
