Default Never thought this would happen

So i have a silver 370z, but my dad has a 2008 snakeskin green dodge viper with white stripes. So we go to dinner but we drive separately and park next to each other. well my entire family was at dinner and i was watching out the window of the restaurant and i see 3 guys walking over to my dads car. Not anything unusual so i continued to watch, then i realized not one of them had looked at the viper but all of them were inspecting my 370. so i got the whole family to look because it made my day, but im still wondering why they were looking at my car?

Not sure, but I have noted I get more stares and looks in the Z than I did my vette.

When I see a viper, I'm like, oh, there's one of those again, that car where the door sills got so hot a magazine literally cooked breakfast on them. Wow, awesome engineering, if you like your calf meat cooked when you get out of the car.

LOL...I love when people try to pin poor "engineering" on American cars as a last ditch effort.

You forgot to mention the interior is not up to par with other $90K cars.

Last ditch effort to what exactly? Maybe you should take a look at the photos of my previous cars before you call me out as an american car basher.

It's new and something they know they can probably afford.

Regardless, dismissing the engineering of one of the best performing cars money can buy because of the routing of the exhaust is laughable.

While you might not fit into the category if you insist, such a statement is directly in line with what a brainless "American car basher" would say.
