I drove my new 00 GTS to West Palm Beach in Feb and stayed 7 weeks including a cruise to the last Sat night of Bike Week in Daytona.
Since I am literally a "rocket scientist," what follows are pure scientific measurements:
In Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh:
General Response: (someone randomly encountering car)
Massive response: males - especially young ones - the car is a cult.
Good response: married and older women.
Little response: fertile women.
In particular, in the hot spots of Pittsburgh, since intellectual coolism is in, people really go out of their way to oogle the without being seen by others.
Now, in FL WPB, FtLaud, the same as above except people are more relaxed and will respond more. Fertile women still not much response.
In South Beach, forget it, anyone who would react to a Viper would be considered uncouth.
Bike Week is the best place you can cruise a Viper. Although the Harley is THE BABE MAGNET PERIOD, if you take one to Daytona, you will be 1 of 100000. I was the only Viper there, and guys on bikes were stopping, getting off, and taking pictures of my car. I didn't make it to Boot Hill because I kept trying to find short cuts and I must admit, the cops had them all cut off. When I figured out how to do it, I had to head back (3 hour drive back)
In general, if a fertile woman responds (and I have had some), it will be very strong, but if a fertile woman is walking down the street, in general, she will not notice the car - even though all the guys are falling all over themselves trying to oogle the car.
I guess the HARLEY is still THE BABE MAGNET.
