On a recent trip to the keys with 5 other Vipers, the SSG charmed all on lookers.

everyone loved the cars but the SSG got most of the attention.

my black 2000 RT/10, the only gen 2 in the group, gots lots of approval due to the body style, but that damn SSG was the star of the show.

in key west, a guy with a small child in his arms chased the SSG for 3 blocks just to get a picture.

at south beach we all parked in front of the clevelander and talk about stopping traffic. vettes and ferraris were chocking traffic to get a look.

Yep cute chick, I'll look up her website and invite her to try one on with black stripes if she gets to frisco in her world travels.

Not a day goes by that something interesting doesn't happen when I pull mine out. This is not a color for introverts!

One question I get asked is "What does it taste like?". I tell them like a sour-apple Jolly Rancher. I had one tranvestite in the tenderloin stop in the cross-walk and ask if he/she could taste it, sure why not it's got a clear-coat--he licked it from the passenger headlight to the windshield, I'm not kidding!

A girl at my club asked, "Is that your's?", with a look of disbelief, "yep", then she proposed on the spot, I asked her where she wanted to honeymoon?

I had a black one too, but once I saw the pictures and read the review on the internet, I had to have SSG with black stripes, and I'm not that kind of guy. The color picked me.

I think it is the best looking color on any car to date. That is why I had to have it. And that is why I paid MSRP to get it in March of last year (still kicking myself).

I'm not a big green paint fan but SSG is one of the few greens I like on a car. :2tu: I'm not sure I would take the opinions of people in Key West to seriously. :crazy2:

SSG is definitely the coolest Viper color ever. If I ever buy a Gen 4, it will have be SSG without a doubt :headbang: I'd either go solid or with black stripes :drive:

I had one tranvestite in the tenderloin stop in the cross-walk and ask if he/she could taste it, sure why not it's got a clear-coat--he licked it from the passenger headlight to the windshield, I'm not kidding!

:crazy2::crazy2::crazy2::crazy2::crazy2: If "it" did that to my car, I'd wait until their tongue got on the hood and I'd see exactly how hard I could launch off the line and run them over. :nono::nono::nono::nono::nono: Good gawd, thats the worst Viper story I've ever heard. Well, at least they asked and had your permission to do so. You're a lot more understanding person than I am.

A girl at my club asked, "Is that your's?", with a look of disbelief, "yep", then she proposed on the spot, I asked her where she wanted to honeymoon?

Ok, better story ;) Post pics and it'll be a even better story :D

Here's another one, a few weeks ago I had the SSG out in North Beach in the white zone outside my business. An elderly Japanese tourist couple came by and started admiring my snake. I smiled and said hello. In broken English they asked if they could take pictures and I said sure. I was preocupied putting stuff in my trunk when I looked up the wife was inside the driver's seat while her husband was taking pictures out in the street.

I thought it was a little bold to actually open the door and get inside but given how Japanese tourists are so reserved (until they get sushied and sakeed up) I found the scene rather charming and endearing.

SSG's bring out such spontaneous instinctive behavior in people.

Damn, should have gotten SSG. Oh well, at least mine is only 1 of 7. So there is exclusivity in resale.
