    What is the most common question people ask about your GenV?

    I find it entertaining that you can't take this car ANYWHERE without a crowd and without getting asked questions. Surprisingly, the most common inquiries I receive (in order):

    1) What kind of car is that?
    2) How fast have you gone in it?
    3) How much was it?

    As far as #2 and #3 go, why does it matter? I never understand why people ask that... If I said 100, 200 or 300, does your life change? For #1 I haven't trolled anyone yet and tell them the last viper they are making. for #2 I tell em yeah just babying it, nothing crazy, under 180. #3 I tell em I stole it.

    Been dealing with this since my Gen 3. Get used to it! How fast, what is it, what year, mileage....

    The most common questions. I always tell them Viper, pretty fast, and I don't discuss finances.

    Is it automatic or stick?

    Seriously, it's the most common question I've had.

    1) How fast have you been in it? Everyone seems to ask this question.

    2) How much do one of those cost? This one usually is followed by the first.

    3) What car is that?

    Honestly, its "What kind of mileage you get with that thing?" at almost every gas station. Half the time, the follow up question is, "That's the one with the V12 right?".

    Been asked those same questions since the 90s and have found that most folks are often surprised at the price of the Viper ( I always give them a range ) as most think it should cost more. When asked how fast it will go I usually respond with, " In a straight line or around corners? " Never really offended when someone asks what kind of car it is , since with only around 32,000 built since 1992, a lot of folks have never really seen one.

    Best one lately was at a local gas station and a 9 year old boy was taking pictures with his phone while his Dad and older brother were filling up their Honda Pilot. I asked his dad if it was okay if his young son sat in my car and I would take a picture of him. He agreed and as he was getting out his older brother came over and asked his 9 year old brother, " What kind of car is that?" The response from the little guy was priceless..........." God you are a nerd, it's a Viper!"

    The bearing question is pretty funny. I'm assuming it was meant as a joke. I'm glad to see the forum talking about the fun stuff again.

    With a great deal of consistency, I get:

    1) How fast have you had it?
    2) What year is that?
    3) Do they still make those?
    4) Can I take a picture?
