Our last divisional-semifinal pits a pair of out-of-towners. The places they visit are just never the same once they come.

When you don't vote for Veloce you're voting for celibacy!
-
Tsubasa looks like a girl, fuck him!
Meanwhile, Veloce is a fabulous sex-beast who's never let me, or any of the women that he's had his way with, down.

Tsubasa gets it on with Mayu you know. He ain't celibant.
-
Maybe he meant celery?

Actually, that sounds pretty cool. I'm tempted to change my vote to Tsubasa now.

I've not sure if this was posted elsewhere, but Veloce's name is a reference to "velocity". A few of the other names in Viper RSR are references to racing terms also.

Really? I didn't know that, what are the other racing references?
-
Well, Maranello is the name of a type of Ferrari. I believe one of the towns is a reference also. Alitalia was it? An Italian friend of mine told me it translated to "little wings" and was a racing reference also, but since that was like 3 years ago I've forgotten how it was a reference. O_o
I did some research on it, and came up with something else.
Viper GTS'es Alphina is a reference to Alphina, a German manufacturer of BMWs.
Eh, while I'm at it, might as well list the known ones...
Carrera = Italian for "race", but also a reference to the Porsche Carrera 911
Mercedes = Mercedes Benz
Ratty = Maserati sports car
-
Alfa = Alfa Romeo luxury cars
And the obvious game naming scheme:
VIPER - Dodge racing model
M1/M3/M5/M6 = BMW racing model
Z3 - BMW convertible sports coupe
GTB = Ferrari racing model
GT1 = Porche racing model
RSR - Jaguar racing model
... which also applies to our fanwork game:
CCR - Koenigsegg (a Swedish car company) racing model
-
Was a there a reason for the race references, or was Sogna just a racing fan?
-
Power Warrior, the game's story writer, had always been a fan of sports cars.
