Met up with Patrick and his friend Stefan tonight to photograph these two beauties. The Viper has an incredible engine sound (be sure to check out the videos) that just makes you sh_t your pants. :ohyeah:

And here are some shots from earlier in the afternoon. Stefan also owns this Audi A4 Avant S-Line that was driven here by his girlfriend. Not sure if it was a TDI or a gasoline model.

i like vipers
I'm guessing the Viper is an '05? IIRC that was the only year the SRT-10 had side pipes in Germany.
He must of spent a fortune on those German taxes based on the size of the engine.
Excellent shots as usual Wimmer, particularly good this time. Keep them up, I love seeing Munich (?) in the background.
I love Vipers. I really like the Cayman S too, but I really love Vipers.
A betting man would assume the Viper could roll the Porsche up in a doobie and smoke it.
Good stuff, Wimmer! :ohyeah:

He also has:
BMW 850CSi
Porsche 930 Turbo
Mercedes SL73 AMG
And you already know his Dodge Viper SRT-10 and the Audi A4. With a garage like that I was wondering why the A4 wasn't an S4 or RS4. :lol:
Oh yeah, the Dodge Viper has a "Saison Kennzeichen" which basically means "seasonal license plate". It basically is only registered 6 months per year (summer) so he doesn't have to pay that much in engine cc tax! :tounge:

Not much background of Munich to see here since this was a parking garage but it was a fitting location for such a photoshoot. Too bad these places always close at the gheyest times ever! :lockedup:

The Viper costs ?904 a year. 50% of that if the car is only registered 6 month a year. That makes the Viper one of the most expensive cars in terms of taxes. The Audi Q7 V12 TDI is the most expensive car at ? 926.
The Chevy Matiz costs only ?16 year.
Since a lot of these photos are fairly similar to one another, could you remove some? Even with a high speed connection it slows shit down.
I didn't think they were allowed to call it Viper for some reason or another in Europe. I thought it was the Dodge SRT-10.
Beautiful photography. Especially some of the outdoors shots with the buildings in the background.

Similar but not the same.
I'm sure most Americans on this forum will agree with me:
MOVE OUT OF CANADA AND IMMIGRATE TO AMERICA - FASTER INTERNET! :thumbsup:I've also uploaded these on Facebook. You can view each picture individually there. :ohyeah:

The difficult part about outdoor shooting in such conditions are the random cars and people that make it into your photo. Annoys me all the time. :frown:

I think it was the Chrysler Viper.
Anyway, some really nice pictures, Wims.
nice shots man. Did you use a latter for some of the shots?

And yep, it was sold as the Chrysler Viper here.

Nope, no ladder was used. Most of the shots were taken with a 10-24mm lens which an "extreme wide angle" lens and this can give the impression that some of the pictures shot from above the car were done using a ladder. :ohyeah:
Great pics, though next time bring a can of that stuff you can spray on tires to make them look all nice and shiny. :ohyeah:

Really? I need to seriously check those ATU shops out. I rarely go there because I usually don't need anything for the car. Which reminds me, I need to buy distilled water for the BMW's radiator! :ohyeah:
