I was at a closing the other day when my attorney friend looked outside and saw that I was in my Bentley GT Coupe. He said, "What is that you are driving?" I said, "its the Bentley, normally I would be in my Viper on such a pretty day, but it is in the shop getting a new engine." He said, "If I were you I would drive that Bentley everyday, the Bentley is the real deal, the Viper is more of a gimmick." :omg:

I just looked at him:cool: . I told him actually the Bentley is more of a gimmick. I told him that the Bentley is actually an overpriced status car w/ all kinds of instrumentation I would never use in a hundred years. The Viper is simply a true red-blooded in your face raw unapologetic no nonsense horsepower sports car. It is as American as you can get. I told him the only reason you may think the Viper is a gimmick is b/c most sports cars have strayed away from what a sports car is supposed to be. I see just as many housewives (no disrepect to the ladies) in Vettes and Mustangs and Ferrari's as I do at PTA meetings and at MAD rallies. :lmao: I told him, "If you think my Viper is a gimmick, lets go for a ride when she comes home from Tators....trust me, there will be nothing gimmicky about how she accelerates and pins your wimp-ass to the seat, and how she corners and handles overall.

There is nothing gimmicky about Harleys.
There is nothing gimmicky about patriotism.:usa:
There is nothing gimmicky about Vipers.:2tu:

Some people just dont get it.

Corvulvas are certainly chick cars. Keep pumping out those automatic transmissions, GM!! As for the euro cars, there is something effeminate about them as well. Perhaps it has something to do with their small engines and cowardly means of producing power. There has never been a more brutish, manly car than the Viper is, and some people misconstrue the ostentatious aura for gimmickry. I think you handled the dweeb quite well, black mamba.

Keith--I truly love your Viper AND I also love your Bentley as well!!!! I hope that you very very soon get your Viper back and that you can get it out there again ASAP. LOVE the car. And, you are correct--the Viper is a DRIVER'S car....it's not a relaxing luxury car (Bentley--but you also have quite the power in that as well)....it requires ALL your attention...a TRUE sports car---see---no housewife here!!! A TRUE CAR FANATIC!!!
Good luck to ya~~juli

You guys are funny. Insecure at times but funny all the same.
I find that Viper owners feel the same about their Vipers as many Americans feel about our country...we owners can criticize them from time to time, but if an outsider says something derogatory about our beloved snakes...be ready for a Swift and Immediate and at times Overwhelming response defending the honor of our Vipers!

The Bentley is no gimmick... Those of us who own or have driven one know those things are a DREAM to drive, and actually has more horsepower than the Viper... We're selling our GT to make room for the new GTC coming in a few weeks. :D

Don't get me wrong though, I worship the Viper :D Gunna take her out this weekend, nice and sunny :headbang:

Mercedes, BMW = "Status" cars.

My Bentley is a beast as well. I raced a modded Vette C5 and I have raced M5's and AMG Benzes. I smoke them w/ ease. I dont care what I am driving, I never back down. I dont think I could ever go back to a German sedan after owning this Bentley, there is absolutely nothing like it...but they are still a bit over priced.
