that being said.. can we get some *** shot... just like the ones you just posted from the front, but from behind.. those were great comparison shots...

I definitely like the new wheels on the Viper, Tony. It's a little odd to see a five spoke against a six lug, but a lot of six spoke wheels look delicate and refined, which is not what a Viper is about. Plus, it's hard to go wrong with a brushed center.

Very nice, the interior looks much better without the blue accents. That Z06 looks great as well.

Btw, nice meeting you at SEMA in the Iforged or HRE booth, can't remember which one it was right now.

Looks more aggressive in my opinion, not that it matters. Nice setup Tony.

It's about time. I'm not a big fan of six spoke wheels at all. Those iForged look so much better, really does it for the car. The interior looks killer with the black!

Looks great man, and the 08' hood will be an awesome touch! I was kinda in your neck of the woods yesterday picking up a car in San Antonio, wish I could have set something up so I could have come by H-Town and check the cars out in person!

I gotta weekend toy. its a 2000 trans Am. my daily is a..... 2000 Trans Am
I hate you.


but seriously, Viper looks amazing. I liked the white wheels, but those polished ones look better. I am a big vette fan, but your right about them being a little too... "non-hardcore" in some aspects. I also feel like their interiors look very cheap. The steering wheels are ugly (except for 05 IMO), and if you dont have the Navigation, the whole center section looks very cheezy.

Gorgeous cars though!
