like 6 diff times int he last few days people called the viper an exotic. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE WORD MEANS.

exotic is “strikingly unusual or strange in effect or appearance” something that stands out. I would say since the Viper is a close to 200mph car from factory, it is damn close to being an exotic. Italian cars are not the only ones that have the privilege to hold this title.

K Cuv is obviously an expert in what exotic’s are because he has one in his sig, duh…

and who are you?
It doesnt matter what you drive, it seems some people will always find a reason to cut it down for one reason or another. And yeah, this post is going to probably sound arrogant coming from me as thats how you guys take everything I post anyway, but really, it isnt my point to say it like that… just a warning before someone goes and starts a drama bandwagon… like usual.
Funny… the only people I know who dont piss, moan, pick apart and compare expensive cars on whether they are exotic/not exotic, handling traits, the country it was made in, engineering triats, problems, recalls, capability and so on and just say “Nice Car” are the people who own and drive them. (save a few select groups) Other than defending ourselves from belittling by some people- when have one of the guys on the site who own an upper-end car gone out of their way to bash someone elses ride openly?
Its just something I have noticed, thats all. It just seems to me that everyone is always trying to justify their existance, myself and the rest of the Viper guys included. However, it is just odd from my perspective that us Viper guys NEVER get into these kind of arguments with owners of any cars that ALL of you guys would consider “exotic”, just like we never argue with them about how they overpaid for their cars, and how our cars are a better bang for the buck, blah… blah. There seems to be an invisible “cutoff point” I dont know if its more car based, price based, or what… but is this like the automotive equivalent of “short man syndrome” or something? I mean WTF?
For the record, I think your doofus if you dont consider a Viper exotic, but thats another story. Perhaps not as exotic as a Lambo, but… its rare, fast, turns heads and is a HAIR under 100K (actually over now fully loaded) for one, what other reasons could there be? Dont even say it has to be an import- is a Saleen S7 not exotic? YEAH FUCKING RIGHT IT IS. Over 100K? what does that mean? There are DOZENS of cars over 100K I wouldnt consider “exotic” by a long shot- they wouldnt turn heads if painted neon pink. I dont think there is a defining factor, but a balance of them instead.
Exotic is clearly in the eyes of the be holder. There is a line as you suggested as to what is and isn’t exotic, its just tough to a find a common line that will make everyone happy. I personally in the last month have seen more Vipers then Corvettes(all generations included). When you can see more Vipers then Corvettes, you got to ask yourself, how rare is this car? Still stunning cars in terms of performance.

I agree with you about a line that people argue about, constantly trying to define it. I think its odd however that the people that argue the point, have NO vested interest in it. The people who DO, dont have these same arguments by themselves. IMHO the line is really defined by the people who OWN the exotic cars, not the people who dont.
Then you have to put even your experience into perspective- were you seeing the same cars over, and over, and over… or do you live right near a common meeting spot for the guys? There has to be an explanation, because there are more vettes on my street alone than in all of the Buffalo area. Hell, there are more in my neighborhood than in all of WNY, maybe Ontario Canada and NW PA too… There are only about 20-25 total around this area, they come and go quite often, and lots of new guys this year, who thus far are driving the piss out of their cars.

hmmm exaggeration?
Very nice work on the Vid Josh! Clear, to the point, and great quality.
X…
P.S. :tup: Sario.
you guys seriously aren’t intelligent. im not dogging vipers at all. it may be rare(er) highly sought after (not so much) and fast. but based on definition and by those factors does not make it an exotic by any means. it is a high end performance vehicle for sure. its not an exotic…period. theyre mass produced a short car ride away

Thats just silly.
