Fun read - When the Viper was king

[PDCjonny]

Here's a fun article from 1997 comparing some old muscle cars from the past with a Viper GTS. Guess who was the king?

Very nice article. A little long but I looked at the Viper part.

Fun article.

Look at those pathetic slalom and 60-0 stats! LMAO! My, how times have changed....

I think we are now in the "muscle car" era, 'cuz there was never another one like it. The 60's was just a foreshadowing of better things to come. So many 11 second cars now, with great handling, good gas mileage, etc. Today's sports cars far exceed anything from the 60's. (Don't get me wrong, I honor the classics, and love the older cars too, but you gotta admit they can't hold a candle to what we got today)

Absoultely great articles. I miss the old days before I got my first ride, when I would always sit in the back seat and look out the windows for vipers and when I did, I'd go nuts!

I like this shot.

"If you're in a Viper and some punk in a "fast" car pulls up next to you, revving his motor, don't even look over. Just drop the hammer."

10 years, 3 gens later, and I still want one.
