LOL....I guess the suspension is really stiff. Ralph did say its not the car for cruising in that video. I guess he wasnt kidding.

I just saw this myself. I have to admit, the color is spot on.

They both have muscular, curvy bulges and have a very similar color scheme. I would't read any more into it than that.

Obviously they are raining praise on the Viper

Can we agree that's better than a clown shoe?

I don't see it as a statement on the viper at all other than they both have the same, rather rare color combination. Juxtaposing the viper and the truck is rather humorous. If they found another orange sports car to put next to the viper, it wouldn't have really been funny, interesting, or worth publishing. Big, orange and black truck, curvy bulges in the bodywork next to a small, orange and black viper, curvy bulges in the bodywork. That's it. It is captioned "Body Double" not, "These are the same, the viper ***** and is slower than a ZR1 and all viper drivers are losers lol" It isn't a statement about how the car drives or it carrying cement, or it being a truck, or even having a truck engine.

Not everything written about the precious viper has to do nothing but rain down praise on how it is the greatest car to have ever been created.





Now lets look at other "Body Doubles"

Now you are the expert, not me, but do you think that Autoweek is saying that the 2013 Ford Flex is a Chief Engineering Officer for Starfleet, or do you think that they are saying, "Hey, look, this car and this dude from Reading Rainbow both have chrome bands that go across them?"

Now let's look at some others...

I won't go over these one by one as maybe you have the hang of it by now, but I'll point out a few notable images. "NHRA legend Kenny Bernstein" is not a psychopathic criminal mastermind and Autoweek wouldn't have called him a "legend" if they felt that way. He just has a goofy-ass smile. The Ford Interceptor didn't come from space or posses the ability to destroy the world unless the phrase "klaatu barada nikto" is given to it. Gort and the Ford both look like slabs of metal. Veyrons don't attach themselves to creatures and feed off of them parasitically. Acuras don't burrow underground and terrorize tiny towns in the midwest.

Get it yet? Autoweek isn't saying anything about the Viper, it isn't making fun of you, it isn't making a statement about the suspension. It is saying, hey look, this car and that truck have something visually in common.
