Re: Why is Dodge advertising the \'03 Viper SRT-10?
Hello;
Funny picture, disappointing ad image for the Viper in my humble opinion. I, for one, am looking forward to my 03', and it's new levels of performance regardless of less aggressive styling (I agree).
The Vipers race hisstoy should be enough, as well as the styling (subjective) and improved performance (as predicted) to sell the beast; don't you think?
I never felt I needed a Viper for image; I just wanted to enjoy driving it and looking in amazement at it. It is, old styling or new gen III, an incredible machine. Half the time I drive my Viper, I wish it was CAMOUFLAGED (sp?)because I just want to DRIVE without being hassled by ricer's or followed by a policeman waiting for me to gun it. I DO enjoy the great things people say when the Viper is parked, or when I go to the Classic Car night all shined up and ready to show it off a little bit and admire other fine American machines.
Viper is always going to be an incredible car to look at no matter what the year; it just won't be as bodacious as the original(I HAD TO HAVE a Viper after I saw the first concept drawings in C/D 12 years ago!)
What ad image do the rest of you think is the best for promoting the Viper?
Anyway, I agree; the old man's got got the ride of his life any way you look at it!
