I just read the thread accompaning the photos, and the 'guesses' indicate either the pits have figured out how to exceed the 4 bodystyle limit or the screenies have been 'photoshopped.' If you have 5 bodies, and some creative paint-skinning, you could probably see the possibility of the appearance of many more cars. Now the real question, is that a classic GTS-R Viper or the newer limited edition competition coupe? dh

You are not mistaken Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

That paint scheme really obscures a lot of the details, but I think it's the competition coupe, because the air inlets in front look too wide for the old Viper. Also the old Viper had more rounded body sides. Just my opinion, can't really tell for sure.

Nice effort, but unfortunately not very accurate. It appears to be intended to be a Competition Coupe, based on the bodyside and front end. The bodyside vent in particular would be totally wrong on the old Viper, so it must be a CC. But the greenhouse of the model is much too big and the hood and fender area is wrong for the CC. Here are some links with pix: http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/frame.mv?file=car.mv&num=885 http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/viper_competition.asp http://www.fast-autos.net/dodge/dodgecompcoupe.html http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=19&article_id=4196 http://www.dodge-vipers.com/03compcoupe.html Notice the much lower roof, lower and flatter hood, and huge rear end. In fact, compare these two directly: http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/pic.mv?imagenum=5&num=885 http://community.vugames.com/WebX?[email hidden]@.effde70/21!enclosure=.effe10d Don't get me wrong, I commend the artist on his efforts, but I think it needs a bit of fine tuning. The real Competition Coupe is an extremely powerful and dangerous looking car up close, very much wedge shaped and reminiscent of a fighter plane. The model doesn't seem to capture that, its proportions and curves are a bit too much like the old Viper, rounded and retro-looking.

We're working on the transporter now, detailing the Detroit Diesel in the Trailer Truck takes a bit of time, but it's well worth it, we're particularly happy with the way the dipstick came out as you will need to service and maintain the engine, there are also lubrication points on the chassis and a grease gun will be provided Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

I will attempt to mask my suprise at the intricately modeled used condom behind the toilet in the mens restroom.

Great Shots...loved the slogan...:) dh

And now for something completetly different! I dig the angle I'm getting on this. It's a "touring car championship" as opposed to "TransAm" or "TOCA" blahblah. Great looking cars, a fun physics base, and tracks coming out. Neat-o, we need it these days! Ta guys, & keep it up! Not far away from a Special Saloon Championship this! Any possibility of using several sounds in there too? /Matt -- Using M2, Opera's Super-Galactically Revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
