[mkiv] Viper vs. Z06 Corvette

[Supraice]

Get two supras ..... :-)

Btw, I like the supra lines better than the skyline but as Andi says ... I'm getting old.  The MKIV
to me is my dad's 69 mustang, there is no substitute.

I feel the same way about motorcycles. Since I started
racing I don't even ride supersports on the street
anymore.  So...I bought a Ducati Hypermotard for the
street.

That is one thing I like about my friend's Vipers is
that they are traffic friendly yet plenty of fun in
the twisties as well.
