The one that sticks out:
"You'll run out of balls or road before the viper runs out
of power."

I'll go through some of my old mags this week and see if
there are any decent others.

classic...

Here's one from several years ago.

“The 348 Ferrari is more like a fine cutlass and the Viper more of a two-handed battle axe. You can dispatch your opponent with either one, but only the Viper can cleave his head off in one massive stroke”

I like the one that compared a Ferrari to a scalpel and the Viper to a battleaxe. [Paraphrasing] "Both get the job done, but one does it with finesse and the other with one big swipe."

When I first brought my car to show one of my buddy's his sister comes out and the first thing she says is "Damn, if you can't get laid with this car there is something wrong!"

This is not as good as some but I liked it enough to make it my personalized license plate. I gave my friend Brian a ride in the car the first week I got it. I pulled out on the 2 lane highway near my house and floored it. As we passed the local cemetary at about 90 mph I got the front tires in some ruts in the road (from studded tires) and the car went kinda sideways and headed towards the oncoming traffic. Luckily I got it under control and slowed down. Brian looked at me, his eyes as big as softballs, and said " This SOB is FERAL!!!!!!!" Hence my plates.

After buying my 1998 GTS, I've collected 50 or so car magazines from 1989 forward that contain Viper-related articles, plus I have two article-compilations that Brooklands Books put out. In all that reading, I "think" this one is my favorite quote (from Mark Graham, in Car Magazine, in a "Brit drives a Viper in America" type of article)-- "It fried me in the LA rush-hour, scared me half to death in the wet darkness, p*ssed its coolant onto the floor at regular intervals, but I wouldn't have swapped it for the world. A shallow man in a flawed car, maybe, but as far as non-Disney trips in America go, this is surely one of the funkiest."
