I'm guessing most people are saying the "should have kept the viper" from the looks perspective, but I wonder how many would say other wise if they drove them....w/e.
Congrats on the purchase....you should get some gold BBS LM's....no i'm not forcing my opinions on you.

But that was done for head room and helmets moreso than for copying the RX-7. Im a huge RX-7 nut so no hate here.
Nice to know so i don't spew more bs as an FD owner. hahahaha. I love both cars but the FD just does it for me.
I know for sure that the 3rd gen RX7 was designed after the Ferrari 250GT0 or the lines were taken from it but copying has been done since the dawn of time. Or as some would say it's the highest form of flattery.

Had a local here in NYC with a white one just like yours. Pics dont do it justice according to my buddy 350zboy. Im thinking you will be doing a similar color scheme as you did on the white Viper
Your pics and comparisons are eagerly awaited

. Same with the Viper and NSX Overlays, dont sell many of those at all, just wanna make my work available to those few that might want them .

I would've kept the Viper personally, but I know the feeling when you just have the same thing for years and years, you get sick of it and need a change.
congrats, either way, both cars are gorgeous

Damn Bat. I saw you mention this as a possibility, didn't think you'd go through with it. Should have known. Your Viper was beautiful though, I probably would have kept that over the GT-R but I haven't driven either so who knows.
