I remember when car makers used to take some chances. Sure you end up with the occasional Aztek, but the style on the original Viper and then this thing was mind boggling as a teen.

They're basically worthless now. I think they do look good though

Damn, I had forgotten about those things. Probably similar vintage, a buddy of mine had the little hot rod Chevy truck. Kinda of a hybrid truck/car. Apparently way overpowered and would burn rubber on a regular takeoff.

A black guy in my hometown of Columbus ms had a purple one. Was very random but the guy always had a smile on his face driving around town in that thing

Drove one a few times as a teen for parades and homecoming courts, Those front wheels made you nervous as hell. Felt like they were so much wider than they were.

I always thought it was such a shame they were only ever offered with a V6 and automatic, they'd have been much cooler with a V8/manual option or even the Viper V10 wedged in.

The Viper was one of the sexiest car designs ever.

Almost everytime I see one, which is rarely nowadays, it's either purple or yellow. Looks good in candy red - probably a custom paint job.

I remember that Chevy! Think it had a strong V8 unlike the prowler. Forget what it was called.

That was it. Had a V8. But in my mind it looked a lot better than that. Prowler way cooler looking.
