U see....we (europeans) r (IMO) more concerned with aerodynamics.......we try 2 make efficient automobiles.....who don't need just big engines 4 a sports car......(also gas is more expensive here
).....Let's compare ya Viper with our 360 Modena or 996 TT......they r completely different cars 4 the same market......the Viper has a HUGE engine with "low" Rpm & a "romantic" design........unlike the Ferrari....who has a "small" engine with high Rpm & ,let's say, modern design.....or the Porsche (small engine,twin turbochargers).....it's a different mentality:nixweiss ......different cars 4 different ppl\

Well american muscle is a big thing. We like insane power with ground rumbling engines. Look at the old american muscle machines. 442, GTO, Chevelle SS, Boss, Hemi Cuda *drool* We like acceleration here, not top speed. Who cares if you are can get to 170mph. Most people here would rather have a 11 second car that maxed at 120 than a 15 second car that maxed at 170. I know I would. We don't have roads where you can just floor it and cruise safely... Our road crews suck. FIX OUR DAMN ROADS!
I know just a few weeks ago I was driving back from Mississippi and I knew it was an area without a lot of cops so... My foot started to get heavy. I was doing about 95 when I came over a little hill and there was this huge freakin' piece of concrete in the road! On the interstate! (OK, 95 is fast for a truck unless you have a lightning which it is then somewhat fast
My governor also starts to kick in at 100.
A lot of people would also take a Viper over a 360 (and one person I know would take a vette before a viper or 360). I really like the 360 though. I would go insane trying to make up my mine between the two. I would take a Boss 429 over the Viper though. I'm a Ford man
Edit: Ohhh forgot to talk about the ricers. Ricers like to get light import cars (Asian imports, Not European Imports. Just remember, when you hear people making fun of imports it's not about European imports) Then they like to stick the biggest freaking spoiler on them, put ground effects on then and not even paint them, just leave them the primer color. Get lights all over the car, winshield washer nozzles, on the wheels, under the car.Everywhere Lights! Then stickers, you got to put stickers all over your car. Even if you don't have NOS you put NOS stickers on it. Also, even if your nitrous isn't made by NOS it is still referred to as NOS if you are a rice owner.
For some reason they also like to get a tachometer that is the size of a dinnerplate and stick it right in the middle of the dash so everyone can see. It is funny because some of then drive around in low gear so their car makes a whole bunch of noise. I'll cruise by them and see their shift light lit up. They also like exhaust pipes that have like an 8" diameter
You also don't do performance mods to them. Spend all your money on looks. If you do anything for performance, then the first thing you do is get a shift kit so your tires chirp into second gear. It is funny because my friend has a 442 and we go cruise in it. Most ricers won't race us but the ones they do get blow away! We can't drive around long because his car only gets *cough* 5 miles to the gallon.
ls don't b scared of the first picture:scared
