Viper.....

Questions :-

In the demo, are we driving a cack, intermediate, or good viper?(i.e. how
"upgraded" is it?)

(I'm sure any American can answer this one....) How come we are driving a
Dodge Viper, yet in the GT racing I've seen on the TV, it's always the
Chrysler Viper?

When is it to be released in the UK?

Are there any new decals for the paintshop in the full version?(I've
designed what I consider to be a cool car, but it could do with some
adverti***ts, and the demo decals are not quite right for the job)

Thanks for any help...

Chrysler is the corporation.  Dodge, Plymouth, Mopar, etc. are motor divisions
of Chrysler.  They should say Dodge Viper.  You don't here anyone speaking of
the GM Camaro or GM Firebird.  But I don't know a lot about GT racing so maybe
they use the corporate names instead.

The Viper in the demo appears to be somewhat tricked out.  It seems to have
a racing chassis, although no engine, tire, or body upgrades.  When you
start a new career you will see what a stock viper really drives like  hehe

Yes you are right Target, The Vipers that raced in the GT2 class in
this year FIA GT Championship
raced under the brand name banner "Chrysler Viper" as run by Viper
Team Oreca and Team Chamberlain Engineering.

The Dodge Brand name is not used in Europe just Chrysler and the
Racing Vipers are run by European Teams,
Viper Team Oreca from France and Team Chamerlain Engineering from the
UK, England.

And so you in Europe you buy a Chrysler Viper, Voyager, Neon etc and
not a Dodge Viper, Voyager, Neon etc
as far as I am aware.

Now I wonder for '99 If the Vipers will be run under the new brand
name DamilerChrysler Viper :-)

It's a Pinto compared to what you build up to in the Career mode.

I called Sierra UK today and they say that the releas has been put back to
end of Jan 99.

Done, now the agony of waiting for the mail man to show up.
Sierra told me, it could take 25 - 45 (!!!) days. Are they shipping
by canoe, or what... ;^)
