Except for the obvious Chrysler Grill does anybody see a little Panoz Esperante in that picture ?

I don't think it looks as mean

That is one seriously powerful car...over 500 ft/lbs of torque! Holy sheep sheet!

This redux does look a little less mean, though. And actually, I'm not a fan of the car anyway, but I do see the S2000 in the headlights. Not sure if that was intentional or not. Probably not...

One thing that always struck me about the Viper is how big the freaking thing is...! It's a HUGE car! Way too big for my skinny little arse...

But I respect it for what it is...a seriously powerful car designed for those recently divorced, balding men in the mid to late 40's with two kids who have been driving Caravans for the last 14 years and feel the need to strap on some real power, since they haven't driven a Corvette since the late 70s and all their friends will think they are so cool as they drive over in their Caravans with the stick on "wood" paneling and tell them how they wish they could have the renaissance of youth that the new Viper owner is having and then watch as the guy drives off with his new 23 year old blonde girlfriend who has fake boobs...awesome car. Gotta love those convertible Ram trucks!

I don't know, is that too harsh?

Definitely not as mean as the concept car I saw at the SF Auto show...





Although I'm not knocking that any viper can kick the heck out of me on the track. They have and will continue to do so.

The power of a Viper is definitely the real deal. . . However, who cares how fast a car is if you can't stop it quickly. Dodge NEEDS to add ABS to that car ASAP. . .
