My 2001 RT 10 looks like a........... WHAT?

[Greekislandsurf]

I picked up my 2001 RT 10 yesterday from DC Performance and went to fill-up the tank at my local gas station. While at the gas station, I was approched by the Owner of the station and he asked me if that was the new JAGUAR........ Really! a Jaguar???? Now this guy must see hundreds of cars come through his station, you would think he would know the difference.... I just told him that this was much nicer than that!!! It's a VIPER!!! Anyone else out there been mistaken for anything else????

I would never have thought the viper would get mistaken for a Jag. Especially a GEN II viper.

Is he on Durgs

I did once go to a fancy dress party dressed as Captin America, a guy said to me "what have you come as?"

Thats got to be the best looking JAG ive ever seen

 

[STUGOTS]

I got that one before, english was not that great "is that a jagu were" YES THANK YOU i said

 

[georgethedog]

I get stuff like that all the time. Never a Jag though. Normally, people just ask "what is that?" or they have a bet with the person they are with where one of them thinks it's a Vette and the other one knows better!

Anyway, I wouldn't say callit a Jag is all bad. The new Jag vert is quite a nice looking car. Don't know much about its performance, but it is sharp looking.

I had just taken delivery of a new silver 2003 Gen III when they first became availabe. A woman called it a jaguar when I was filling it up for the first time, then a dude called it an Honda S2000 5 minutes later! I sold it the same day and kept the gen II. Still got it, long live the GTS.

I call BS on that story...

I had a guy think my GTS coupe was a Jag once. Couldn't believe it.

 

[Twister]

Actually a gen2 and the old school vetted have a slight resemblance. As far as the jag comment.lol. The new vert jag looks much more like a subdued srt than a gts

I know!!! Really....and in Yellow? When was the last time you saw a Yellow Jag?

That's pretty funny. I think he pronounced it as the English would. So in that case his English was perfect. Maybe Fatboy can advise us.

Not too bad, We would pronounce it as a Jagu are Or better still as Clarkson OR Austin Power says ' A Jag'

 

[v10enomous]

I could see maybe an old one...

or maybe a new one... There is no denying that the Viper shares some styling queues with the Jaguars.
