I've had my Snake for about 2 months and was just wondering what the most common/memorable question everyone is asked when they are out in their Vipers. Mine is easily, "how much did it cost?" and "how do you afford insurance on it?" I've yet to be asked why there are speakers in the hood, but know its coming one day lol. The most memorable comment I've got is when a kid came up to me at a carshow and told me his friend said Vipers cost $1,000,000 and wanted to know if mine cost that much.

While stopped at gas stations I have been asked;

Q. How much are those things
A. A lot

Q. How fast have you been
A. Pretty fast

Q. Are they speakers
A. sort of

Q. My friend has a Corvette and he says he beats Vipers all the time
A. Your friend is probably a liar

Q. Whats the fuel economy like
A. Don't know. If I was worried about fuel economy I would drive a Hybrid.


the list goes on.....
Could it be that gas stations attract the curious? :rolleyes:

I would say since I am actually 23 but look like Im 17. The number 1 question is: "What do you do for a living?" and the second is usually:"How fast have you had it?".

Several times I have had guys in pickup trucks ask what I paid for my car, and I just tell them it was a bonus from work (which is a lie, but I don't want to tell the price). Then they have said "I would get something like that, but I need a truck to do my work." As if I somehow care about what they do for a living. I just do NOT care what anyone does, as long as they aren't causing me headaches.

This scenario happens to me about once per month or so.

"Could you tell me how much you paid for it?"

Stupid questions like that get old fast, if they want to know, it's not too hard to look on the internet and see the prices that they're selling for.

Both exact cars are on the "Gone in 60 Seconds" car list that Memphis shows Donny (the list actually changes throughout the movie!) Anyone know what the Diablo's name is?


The Diablo's name is Gina. It was car #29. It is also listed as a m/y 1990.

How fast? I say 203, then I got scared and let off
Gas mileage? Don't check, but I do know it's a little worse with the supercharger.

most common for me is "how fast does it go?"

funniest question I ever got was (yes at a gas station as well) "how do they make that kind of power without turbo or S/C??" and the guy was REALLY REALLY baffled over that one, I said to him never heard of N/A, and I swear to god he says "ohh yeah I heard of that, its nos" IDIOTS.

I also sometimes get the "how much is it" which if you think about it is kind of rude. lol

I got asked once "How much money do you make?" which is one of the rudest possible questions I could ever think of.

I forgot a good comment. I had been home with my Viper for maybe 30 minutes and a friend comes over and brings his gf, son, and a friend of theirs with him. The friend just happened to be a hottie w/a body. When she saw the car all she could say was "This is a movie star's car, when you gonna take me for a ride?" The ride was later that night :)

I've had my 98 GTS for about 3 weeks. Being moderately well known as a drag racer, I get the following questions:

1. What kind of power does it make? (414/449 bone stock so far)
2. What does it run? Don't know. Haven't been to the track with it yet.
3. Is it as fast as the Supra? No. Big difference between 701 RWHP and 414 RWHP
4. Did you sell the Supra? Nope.
5. Are you going to mod it? Well, heck yeah!


By people that don't know me at all:

1. What year is that?
2. What do you do for a living?
3. How fast will it go?

Im younger and I used to work out alot and play sports and I still keep in shape today... so when I'm in my Viper I get asked "who'd you used to play for" alot :crazy:

One of the most common, "how fast have you had it going"

"whats it got in it" (I can believe there are people who dont know)

"thats a viper...right?"

I actually had someone ask me if it had a "system" some vanilla ice/eminem wannabe... I said "whats a system?" and he said.."you know, like a system, 6x9s, sub-woofers" (other stereo stuff I cant remember)
I said no.. all thats factory.
He says "Oh.." with a disgusted look on his face like I was driving a rusted out chevette and walked off. I couldnt believe it. :smirk:
