Comet Viper vs The Green Machine or any Corvette

Well we know how we feel about each car, but when they are compared to each other. Who is the worst?
<input type="radio" name="option" value="1" />A. Having a limp wrist in the Lassen creation is better than Red5's Corvette any day.
<input type="radio" name="option" value="2" />B. It is no longer a Viper after Lassen barfed his paint all over it and I would have to settle for Red5's Corvette.
<input type="radio" name="option" value="3" />C. Neither are worthy of my a$$ to sit or fart on, I would walk to the next bus stop.

Without the dolphins, the flames alone would be cool, IMO. I don't give a rats ass that "Lassen" painted it - I don't know lassen from Bob at the supermarket. But how snobby is it to exlude it from Viperdom because of the paint job?

I've seen TONS of really CHEESY stuff on Vipers, from bowl wheel covers, to crap painted on them like snakes or some junk, to chrome wheel arches to barfarific interiors with multiple colors and fake carbon fiber everywhere.

On the scall of Viper gawdyness, Remsters Viper ain't all that high, IMO, and without the dolphins would be pretty cool.

I agree the flames are cool, I am sure some painter could find a way to kill the dolphins

**AUSTIN** · August 27th, 2003, 02:17 PM

on this one. Without the dolphins, it wouldnt look all that bad. The dolphins is just WAY to much IMO.

I don't think the flames are very well done. They're too "fluid" looking. Still, if it was my car I could live with the flames, but not with flipper.

In any case, it ain't my car so it's not my call.

(but I still say flipper makes that car a joke).

NOITALL · August 27th, 2003, 02:28 PM

I like the flames very cool and different looking. I'm with mike on seeing way worse hideous shit on vipers like snakes and other stupid ass "personalizing" that just makes the car look like ass.

I've seen some much better photos of Remster's Meteorite Viper than his avatar and I think in person that car would look pretty awesome. But the dolphins just don't fit with the rest of the paint job.

Remster - Post some GOOD photos of your car that doesn't show the dolphins.

The dolphins would go better on a limp wristed vette. The flames are alright on Remster's viper. I'd take the viper. With some luck, one of Remmy's rings would be under one of the seats and I could pawn it off for enough to get the dolphins painted over.

BigCarrot · August 27th, 2003, 04:59 PM

The dolphins look like they belong on some hippy ass VW van or something. NOT on a Viper. I could live with the flames.....maaaaaaybe, but not the chicken of the sea.

Preferably not after a meal.

now you guys gotta admit, my car stirs things up.
The goal was to be seen and noticed. It works as planned.

Drove it around downtown yesterday and heard a bunch of "WOW WOW WOW!!!" at different corners... 80% don't even get to notice the dolphins.

If I hit some dough, I'll probably end up getting a louder exhaust.
Fans on the sidewalks keep asking me to rev it up, and the wimpy stock exhaust is too ridiculous.

With just flames, it'd lack depth. Too predictible, even with super badass flames.
I wanted something multidimensional, to echo my own complexity.

That's like wearing a clown suit to the office and saying, "this time, I WILL get the notice I so richly deserve'.

I guess wearing the gawdy jewelry and pink mink when driving the Rumpster mobile REALLY gets you noticed.

remster · August 28th, 2003, 01:35 PM

again, no pink mink... just dark like it should.

I know what you're saying. It's all a matter of opinion as to what is clown and what is not. One person's art is another person's garbage.

FYI: driving a lambo as a daily driver, and an F50 on weekends makes you used to some sort of attention on the streets.
Hi, my name is Remster, I'm an attention addict.

Nameless · August 28th, 2003, 02:21 PM

Speaking of that..

Write down the XJ220 issues, as well as Diablo and F50. Did you ever own/drive an F40? GTO?

Who was the guy that had a Diablo and an Esprit?

"driving a lambo as a daily driver, and an F50 on weekends makes you used to some sort of attention on the streets."

Try driving a Cobra real or fake the attention is the same.

Still would not go near either.
