Looking forward to seeing that combination Tony...should be on the money...!!

I see some pretty bad ***, future photo shoots coming up of 2 sweet Z's sitting around a Viper...

I like the silver wheels and black interior appointments much better. Now all you need to do is replace the white stripes with silver ones. Then it will be perfect (at least in my opinion).

That blue e-brake handle is hideous. It looks like ***** sticking out of the console.

The wheels you picked for the Z06 are going to be incredible looking on that car. The changes on the Viper look fantastic also.

Patrick, I'm ashamed of you. Blue/White Vipers are THE historical color to have. This color combo was only available on the first 200 coupes built, hence the "First Edition Coupe 1 of 200". You cannot buy a new blue/white Viper coupe now, you would have to buy a plain blue one and paint your own stripes. The blue/silver cars are just regular production colors, still available.

Shows you what I know about Vipers. I just think the silver stripes look better with the new wheels, collectible or not. Again, I think the changes you've made have made a dramatic improvement in the appearance department. Who knows, maybe they'll start a new poll on the Corvette forum with who's car looks more "badass", your Viper or some tastefully modded Vette.
