I hate everything about the front clip, from the grille/bumper openings to the Audi-esque headlights. As far as the hood, it's like they couldn't make up their mind between the old hood and a these new heat-extractors, so they said "**** it, more is better, right!?"

Aside from that though, I dig it a lot. Even the interior looks good, being a Viper. Side profile looks great; looks like the front fender & door line were raised some.
Performance and weight numbers send a shiver down my spine. 130 traps maybe!? Can't wait to see these around

I haven't drooled over a Viper this bad in a decade. When they went to the new body style, I was sickened by how horrible it looked, Now it has redeemed itself. The headlights are my only iffy part, but other then that, to keep that 96-2001 Body style, thank you...

Also, they just unveiled teh GTS-R :drool: :drool: and is coming to ALMS, so move over Corvettes, thanks for keeping the seat warm since 2000, the Viper will take over from here.

it apparently owns the 3rd best power to wieght ratio of a production car.

1. Veyron
2. Ferrari F12
3. SRT Viper
4. Lambo Aventadore
5. ZR1

i hate the front of it but the rest of it is awesome.

can someone please explain the whole SRT thing? does dodge not make the viper anymore, or is it like their trucks. ie: trucks are called rams everything else is dodge?

WildBillyT 04-04-2012 12:32 PM

Isn't that ZR1 power?

Almost spot on. Vette is 100 pounds heavier, though.

1) Front looks too Audi/Ferrari-ish.
2) Nav screen is huge
3) They tried to make one of the crudest cars in America elegant looking

I know, that's what I was thinking of. And I know that, but it can still be styled differently, it doesn't have to look like it's cousin.

Aston Martin db7 rear end son!

MyFirstZ 04-04-2012 01:25 PM

Audi? Because of the LED accent lights? EVERY car has that now.

Reading this thread makes me want to break something.

Tru2Chevy 04-04-2012 04:57 PM

I can definitely see the Ferrari similarities, but at first glance my though was that it looked like a mix of the old GTS Coupe and a C6.

From the side it looks pretty cool!!

coolmanvette75 04-04-2012 08:43 PM

Do want. Looks sick

NastyEllEssWon 04-04-2012 09:49 PM

nicest viper yet.

1_Hot_SOM_WS6 04-04-2012 09:51 PM

Cute but the front end makes it look like Michael Jordans Sneaker.....

zraffz 04-04-2012 09:55 PM

Not a fan of any of the vipers. the front end is just too dang long for my liking.

Jersey Mike 04-04-2012 09:56 PM

I think this may be one of those "gotta see it in person" cars. Photographs often accentuate body lines more drastically than the naked eye does. Heck, I remember hating the CTS-V(2) front clip when the first pictures were leaked. That quickly changed when I saw them in person though.
