with the hardtop from certain angles you can definitely see it.

the worse is when people thinks its a miata.
passed a woman in a old miata (we were both top down) and she honked and waived... im like ,,,, cmon lady at least be able to recognize what kind of car you drive before you wave
I've had that happen too.

I think it's like SakiGT said though, a lot of people dont know the difference. They probably just thought it was a "new" miata.

I've never had my car mistaken for a Viper, but in two separate occasions, people thought it was a Ferrari. One old black guy said, "Nice Ferrari" at a gas station when I was pumping gas and another young black guy with a modded Camaro raced me from a dig, beat me and when we met up at the same gas station later, he said, "Damn! I didn't know it was a Ferrari!"

Ever think that may have just been because you were both in convertibles with the top down? I've had Porsche Boxer guys wave at me when we're both top down.....although they might just be checking me out...

lol the only way I still see the resemblance is with both cars coming at you front the front b/c of the long hood/low profile similarity..... vipers are freakin wide in person as mentioned before though.

No. It looks more like a Miata than a Viper.
