When Ralph said, "Please do not take any pictures, I'm asking for your respect." (I paraphrase) It was one of the most impressssssive things I have ever seen an executive do.
Trust and respect are something that is harder and harder to find these days. It is quite a statement that with all the cameras that all of us had in our hands, literally hundreds of them, not one picture is out there (yes, the presentation had several pictures of the car before we saw it in person which easily could have been photographed).
We should be very proud of all that attended who are respecting the request of a very impressive leader, one that no doubt is respected by Sergio enough to let his Division continue the Viper Legacy.
As for the Gen V car, I am sure many comments will be heading to Ralph, which is what he wants..... the good and the bad. All of those that did not take a particular liking ot the Gen III/IV car, you will like this one. To me it was more of a logical step to the Gen II legacy then something radical (as I personally viewed the Gen II to III change). It is the return of the curves and it once again has plan view curves as well. Is it my "perfect Viper"? No, but it is close enough that my list to Ralph will be a short one
