This car is an icon to me. When someone says "the viper" an image of this car comes to mind before a snake does. Its the first car I came to reconise, so maybe the car that got me into cars. So of course sub zero from me.

Just cool, because it is very powerful but the handling is shit.

I wouldn't go as far as saying it's shit... rather brutal.

Nostalgic to me as hell, I remember I was in 3rd grade in elementary shcool I was like 7 years old, and there was a movie I think or a program that was called Viper, I remember watching it day and night just to see that awsome car, case closed, sub zero, one of the best designs America has made!

despite being as refined as uhm... lol its hard to think of something as unrefined as this  well anyway, it was 1 of the iconic cars of the '90s, especially when considering American cars, racing history at Le Mans to boot, this is a very cool car imo

Theres always gonna be someone who doesn't like a type of car, and I have never really liked the viper. For something so promising it falls short in too many areas IMO... gimmie a ZO6 anyday

naahhh... the new 1 is probably better in every way, but its looks just aren't as wild as the original, it has grown closer to a corvette and the corvette has grown closer to a viper 
At Le Mans i saw a viper in full race trim (at least it looked that way) but still road legal (apparently ), it was AWESOME, much better than the more mundane SRT...

The Corvette of the 80s would be the car I'd consider the quintessential American car. This comes close, though.

Subzero, the simple idea of making such a car deserves it
