Starting to like the gen III Viper, 810 HP

[Scott5ppg]

I went to my weekly local car show next to Burger King and to my surprise pulls up this Gen III... I normally only stay for 20 to 30 minutes but Saturday we were the last to leave. To beat that we went on a 100 mile cruise Sunday. What a beaut.

PS. I still don't like the Gen III Convertable.

Anyone else think it's tacky to display your car's horsepower like that? The mailbox letters look pretty bad as well.

all that create's is everybody in there ricer cars asking (does that really have 810 hp?) wanna race!!!!!!!!!!! oh yes I think it's tacky, might as well put I have a small wee wee on the side of it as well.

 

[Leslie]

yeh, don't like the side lettering, maybe put your HP on the license plate instead. JMHO.


nice Vipers, looks like the weather was great!

 

[twinturbo3150]

beautiful cars bye the way!!!!!!!!!!!!

RSI must be pumping those Vipers out, I am seeing pics of them all over the internet lately. Nice looking car.

I don’t find it any different than the old badging stating 427 Hemi, 289, 383, 440, GTO and alike. What’s the difference? Horse Power vs. Cubic Inches……. just stating what’s unseen under the hood.

I think we could find countless people who would say, He owns a “Viper, what is he compensating for????”

I do agree the "TWIN" lettering could be better….

Z06's have their horsepower rating right on the stock badges. So what does that say about them?

 

[Leslie]

yeh didn't think about that with the Z06, I went out and measured mine, it's only 3"x1/2", and it's an actual silver badge that's stuck on the car, dimentional, like an emblem

 

[Simms]

Nice looking setup.

 

[DodgeViper01]

Great pictures. Love that last one.

With the nature of the car and work done to it by RSI I can understand why you'd want the badging (and its cool). But the horsepower rating underneath "twin turbo" is what takes it to the point of being tacky IMO. To label who did the work (RSI) along with the configuration (Twin Turbo) is tasteful. But to then add 810HP underneath on top of all that is a wee much...might as well writting in the entire engine configuration along the side while your at it (8 liter, V10, 488CI, Bore/stroke, valves sizes, penis length, etc...) LOL...

Leslie, If you were not a lady, there would be a joke somewhere in your last post

You beat me to it ledfoot......only Leslie can get away with this!!!!

size doesn't matter

It really bugs me that I am not allowed to go over to the
Gen3 forum and declare that my Gen2 is better looking...
.... .... just saying...

Who is to stop you? I agree that The GEN 1 & 2 styling is far nicer than GEN 3. I believe that GEN 3 only has performance over us....But to each his own...that is what makes us all individuals right?

 

[Whoaa GTS]

Yeah I think having TT on the side is enough. Putting your horsepower on there looks like you are begging for attention. 810 TT HP isnt exactly huge considering all these 1000-1200RWHP monsters seem to be becoming more and more common
