I don't know the car but it sure looks like a posed photo, especially when there is no one in the Vipers drivers seat.
I don't know it was on the POTD on *************. it does not look like a planed shot to me i have heard of cops asking the driver to get out of there cars. So who knows.
Posed photo. The owner of the blue Viper works in law enforcement (he is NOT the one in the photo though).
