I took FE 207 to the local car show the other day and took this pic. Enjoy :)
I took 2nd place. I got beat out by an ultra low mileage late model Vette.

Great looking car! Congrats. I have had my RT/10 in 2 shows. Most popular car for lookers and having pictures taken but have walked away with nothing except the satisfaction "that car is mine!" 1994 RT/10 with 17000 miles. Better than showroom clean. It seems like Vipers are overlooked by the prejudiced judges. Great looking GTS! Red is the fastest! :usa:

Yes, and those people will see that Vette or ones just like it hundreds of times this year, but, they'll be lucky to see any Vipers a half a dozen times in a year, unless they live near an owner of one.:dunno: People never cease to amaze me.:rolleyes:I was reading a thread this week where a guy in California had his Viper in a car show and it got keyed!:omg: Haven't heard of that sort of thing out here, have you? You own a classic, for that matter, we all do.:2tu: Great color!!;)

I won a trophy at a small town car show a couple years ago. Found out later that some guys complained. They said if this is a classic car show whats a VIPER doing here. ----- I never went back again.

There is not a new Vette anywhere that is nicer than your GTS. That is why I never enter in any car shows anymore. Too political.

I agree about car shows being too political. I used to do carshows every weekend, now I may do 2-3/yr. Judges are either looking for classics or rice. Vipers will always be 1 of the most popular cars at shows, but unless its got scissor doors or 24" wheels, your odds aren't very good. I won WAYYY more trophies with my riced out Eclipse than the Viper has :rollseyes:

I'm trying so hard not to go to car shows just to win a trophy. It's rather difficult but I'm starting to understand the concept of meeting friends.:rolaugh:

Most of the shows I go to have about 2-3 of the same car. It gets kinda boring, the older cars usually win but it's not stopping me from modding my car to at least have the chance to win.

This week I went to a car show in Bennington, VT at Hemmings. Tim brought his Viper, there was a Superbird, and quite a few other mopars. Needless to say I didn't have snowballs chance in you know what although, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and it was a great show, not one car looked identical!:drive:
