The SRT-10 of course!

Was sort of suckered into showing up to a car show (favor for a friend), a little while ago, which turned out to have a competition going on..

Long story short, I left with a trophy for.. "Best Exotic Car, 1st Place" !!! :D:D:D Suddenly the show became a lot more fun ;)

The LP640 came in 2nd place, and in third place the F430

And I hadn't even had a chance to put the HRE's on yet. Hopefully some time this week.

that is not a F430..more like a 360

My bad! Indeed an F360!

Congrats on the win. I like the SS kit.

Thanks! Can't say enough good things about the SS. It completely changes the look of the car.

The photographer used a fisheye lens. The SS is as wide as the LP-640.

I honestly didn't think I stood a chance against the Lambo, but goes to show how people like Vipers!

People in Europe like Vipers and other American cars they don't see much, like people here like European cars. Don't know if the results would have been the same here, but I would like to think so.

Thanks!

Dude, I am still waiting to put on the VOI wheels! Can you believe it? Winter stalled everything, I finally got tires, I finally found a shop that could balance the tires and the rims, and last of all I got some open ended nuts so that I could mount the wheels on the long studs!

I still have one "Real" Skyline GTR, although I think eventually I'm going to settle down with just the Viper and my li'l Smart :)

Congrats! That is a great looking Viper! ;)

So I hear ;)

Hope all is well! I haven't forgotten my promise of taking "real" photos of the car with the new wheels. As soon as they're on, I'm sending 'em your way!

Don't forget, tire "life" is only about two years. Wouldn't want them to go bad before you get them on the car....:rolaugh::lmao::rolaugh:

Believe me, the thought crossed my mind! :)

Oh to add to the long saga, I also had custom TPMS sensors programmed.. hehe, what a story for just a set of rims!

Congratulations. Honestly, if you could erase everyone's mind about how much the cars cost, IMHO, the Viper looks better. It flows. F car looks too flat. L car is nice, but not a fan of the boxy stuff.

I agree, and not beacuse I already own a viper :) Apart from performance and muscle car behavior, I bought the SRT-10 because of its beauty and uniqueness. In Street Serpent trim, multiply that several times; the car holds it's own with *any* other car in existence.

Over here, by the way, where we are taxed on engine size and we pay import duties on non-European cars, a brand new SRT-10 Street Serpent included, is about the price of an F-430 and upwards...
