LMAO! Y'all can keep your R/T-10's and don't even think about pawning off anything after 2002 on me. Heck... they don't even look right to me, lol.

I'll stick with the GTS's & GTS-R's. They're all cool to me but for me... the GTS is best in Blue with the White Stripes. The GTS-R should only only be done as (well for my taste, lol);

Yet another image from Wyatt's place, lol.

Did this debut in Racing Dreams? For some reason I recall this car being in the mid-priced red-card line with the Shelby Cobra, 280ZX, '72 Trans Am and some others...

Not Racing Dreams but Racing Machines. I have always liked this casting.

Nice casting choice Wyatt! thumbsup.gif

Here's the Racing Machines WL Viper.

I like the "WHITE LIGHTNING" on the tires, white interior, and "WHITE LIGHTNING" on the windshield and rear windshield.

If I recall correctly, that was the only car in the JL lineup to ever get the windshield "White Lightning".

Matter of fact, you seldom see any windshield lettering on the JL cars.

A lot of the Clue issue has the name tampoed on the windscreen, bummer, hard to get off. 5 of 6 in the modern set.

    Now I'm hooked!

Clap.gif Great pictures Wyatt (as always). I remember my first encounter with a 1:1 Viper. I was 18 years old and took off to Miami Florida. I stayed in Fort lauderdale at a beach resort and rented a beachcruiser and started to check out the neighbourhood. I crossed a bridge heading towards a Allegria shopping mall (I think it was called allegria) and saw a dealership where they sold ferrari's. So I stood there checking out those really nice ferrari's as I heard a heavy roar coming down the road. It was a red/black dodge viper heading towards me and it stopped at the dealership. I took some really nice shots with my camera and smiled the rest of my way to the shopping mall. I just had to share this story with you guys because it made a big impression on me that day.

See you around! wave.gif

I truly never noticed, even with the pile of WL's I found at Big Lots. They went in a box, and there they still are.

Not a big fan of over-tampo'd cars, I prefer the clean paint jobs of the standard stuff. And I do like most flames, if they're done well.

I have three Vipers. The Bobby Archer Viper GTS-R [ The blue 1with 32 on it]
and a 1996 Viper GTS pace car. Number three is a slot car. They are all very
nice casting. thumbsup.gif
