Just got a new car - a white Viper. I got two of them, in fact (Milezone's has a boatload of this model and they're on sale for $2.49, so rush on over there and get a dozen!). Tonight I suddenly realized it's the second Viper in my MBX collection, so I pulled them both out to do a comparison. To my surprise, I discovered that they're completely different castings. The red Superfast is a Viper GTS, while the white Best of Muscle is a Viper GTS-R. Not being a Viper fanatic, that means nothing to me, but it was interesting to see all of the differences. I was impressed to see what a nice job MBX has done with these. Sorry for the photography - I need to learn how to use my camera. The flash washed out most of the detail in the white, but you should still be able to see many distinctions between the two.

Also, your GTS is a first-generation Viper. The GTS-R is the new one. Notice the difference in the side vents and headlights/taillights.

Yeah, pardon my ignorance. Headlights, taillights, and everything else! :)

Good catch of that plate, JasonZ. I didn't notice it on my first look...
Nice Vipers, guys.:thumbsup:
