I'd rather just have the Dodge Viper they butchered to make it.

You also have no taste.

You also have no taste.

Even the best kit cars are kit car quality. I think Vipers are quite sexy.

I'm partial to the older Vipers.

 

[Syrup Beaver]

Me too, the older Vipers look a million times better to me.

The newer ones are bland.

You do realize with taht type of reasoning any custom hand built Rolls from the 20's thru 60's are just shoddily built kit cars.

That's because they are.

It's not the same.

Rolls wasn't buying production Bentley's and then modifying them.

No, Rolls (and Bentley and Cadillac and Buick) were giving their chassis to custom bodyhouse shops to get a body on them. That's EXACTLY the same.

Outsourcing is not the same thing.

Outsourcing is not the same thing.

Whether they automaker contracts a body shop to do it or the body shop takes a chassis and constructs a body, it's the same.

Those cars are Rolls Royce. Even the custom bodies are approved by Rolls, which is why they keep the brand name. Devon was buying production Vipers (two of them anyway) and making home made ground up modifications on his own dime. That's the essence of a kit car.

From the Barrett Jackson auction of one of the two vehicles:

As one of two Devon GTX prototypes created with production intent before the economic bust of 2008, this serial number 1, titled as a 2008 Dodge Viper, was tuned for 650 hp...

It's a Dodge Viper, legally. Dodge wouldn't sell him the rights to the Viper when they cancelled production. Kit car.

 

[Sarcasmo]

The Ford GT is better looking that the Dodge Viper, and whatever that ugly piece of sh*t is up there.

 

[Casper]

Man I forgot all about the remake GT40. Did they even sell more than like 5 of those? I never see them.

 

[Casper]

GOD IT LOOKS LIKE A PLASTIC MUSTANG INSIDE!

 

[Sarcasmo]

It's black leather.

 

[Sarcasmo]

They made just over 4,000 and I'm sure they sold all of them.

I can guarantee that stuff on teh dash is not leather.

Unfortunately.

Unfortunately.

True. Who needs a gorgeous high performance sports car?
