It's an high tech car alarm and security system. I don't know the details, but I think it's just automatic alarm and harder to bypass.

It is the Batman of car alarms.
In other words, don't jack the car unless you are REALLY good in Security.

I haven't noticed much of a difference between Viper- and non-viper-cars.

Viper cars can be sold for more than a regular car can. That's the good thing about them. The bad thing about them is how fast police gang units come if you try to steal one.

I don't know the code like the back of my hand, but I'm not aware of this. Are you sure it's not just that the Viper is usually on sports cars, which tend to sell for more?

On my first win, I made most of my money via stolen sports cars (or was it some other vehicle? I forgot :(). I only managed to steal 1 viper sports car and it sold for 200 more than a regular one can. Do keep in mind that I won the game a few months, possibly a year ago.

I don't think I've ever heard of the Viper causing the car's value to incrase.

By the way, at C+ gun control and death penalty laws, the Viper could be a bit more... extreme, whaddya say? ;)

I like that idea, as long as it's not a roll-well-or-die situation. A car alarm that blew people's arms off would be neat.

Vans are worth as much as sportscars. That's why I only steal vans, unless I want a sportscar for my leader.

I'm not entirely sure why that is. Unless when you sell a (stolen) car, they pay you based on how much scrap metal you can get off it? I imagine you'd get more metal off a van than a little sportscar.

It still doesn't make much sense, since vans can be stolen more easily.

I don't think thats how it works sportscars should sell for a shit load have viper for 1 out of 5 sportscars and be just harder to steal becuase seriouly its a sportscar they should have a high sell price and be hard to steal

I think roll-or-die stuff sucks as well, but it could work if it was made obvious that failure can cause nasty damage.

THIS IS THE VIPER! Stand back from the vehicle or be terminated!


Besides, it would be mainly flavor, as the cost of leaving and searching for another car is just one day, which isn't a lot.
