Default Viper Coupe!!!

Just came across this one today. It's something we've all known was coming, Vette guy or not Im glad to see it. I've never been a fan of convertibles, and much prefered the old GTS compared to the RT-10. The new coupe's a nice looking car, and you gotta love an 8.3 liter V-10 in front of you. With the fixed roof it definitely brings to mind the silhouette of the old Mazda RX-7, at least from the side. There's also talk of a horsepower bump for the new coupe. Just one more reason to bring out the Z06....

My buddy is down in Texas right now at the VOI (Viper Owners Invitational) and he said that he got to see that today. He said it was pretty bad azz but he is already a Viper owner so he kind of partial to them. He said they got to drive around all of the new Dodge cars but I dont recall if he said that was one that they got to drive or if he just got to sit in it.

I'm sure its sweet but I'll stick with my Vette (for now).

This is the C5 General Forum. The Other Cars section of the Forum is for the discussion of topics like this on other cars.

No doubt, Vipers are definite performance cars, they're just so darn ugly (IMO)!

I hate em. Always have. They look so dorky; long and thin,and that ridiculous front end. You can have them,l and the $hitty gas mileage they get.

No idea why the link isnt working. The pics can be found by going to the autoweek website www.autoweek.com and going to the Combustion Chamber Forums. Its obviously under new viper coupe unveiled. Hopefully this one works.....

Nothing new here.

Mopars have always been that way. Ugly, uncomfortable and unsophisticated but they haul ***. It's been like that ever since the street hemi came out in the 60's.

It's alright, it's not worth an extra $35,000 to me. I'm not sure I really like this body style, not from the photos anyway
