That’s a little busy for me.

But being Italian, you could pull it off.

That paint job screams "trying too hard".

That's a pass for me.


Buying a Viper does most of the screaming for you. Adding that paint job is the cherry on top.

The word "trashy" gets overused here, but that car is definitely trashy.

No traction control
No stability control
No safety measures keeping the back end from busting loose


I’d drive around the block at city speeds, but would be WAY too scared to try and actually drive it.

That car looks like the reason for the “sports cars are for people with tiny dicks” stereotype.

Christopher Titus has a routine on some of the biggest frickups in his life.

Buying a Viper and wrecking it in the manner you described was pretty high up the list.

Edit - well, not exactly like you described but close. It flew out of control and went careening off the track into the desert on its side, IIRC, rather than plowing into a wall.

Indy cars have 550-750.

The current, fourth-generation IndyCar formula was presented in 2012. The engines are now 2.2-liter twin turbo V-6's putting out estimated 550–750 hp depending on the level of boost used. They are limited to 12,000 rpm. Engines are currently supplied by Chevrolet and Honda.[30] Starting in the 2011 season, McLaren has supplied its TAG-400i engine control unit.

There's no way that little fricking thing is more than twice as powerful as the most powerful indy car.

With that paint, good fricking luck to that seller.

The list of people with the desire and means to own that specific vehicle likely begins and ends with the current owner.

Why? It's not like Indy cars have crazy high horsepower.

There are plenty of street cars out that have more HP than Indy cars. It doesn't mean they're faster though.

I'm not saying this one has the marketed 1600 hp though.
