Just wondering what fellow GTS owners plan on doing. I believe the front view pic looks quite nice, but the rear end looks kind of patched up.

Is this a step towards the future for the Viper or just a way to sell the leftover SRT Convertibles? Evidently some work and thought was put into this project. At least it is better than nothing.

I see it as a way to pick up a convertible on the cheap as a second Viper. I'm not interested in selling my GTS at all.

 

[VIPER52USA]

I think this looks much better.

This one is like 4 inches off the ground.

Hate me if you want, but I think it looks fine. Especially the wheels. They look like a five-spoke version of the SSR Comps.

I will admit though, that when DC buys GM the C7 Vette and Gen IV Viper are going to merge into the same car. They just keep getting closer and closer.

The 'higher' coupe is the new 4x4 version. It will have the chassis of a Mercedes ML55.

Are they serious with the ride height? How can ANYone look at those press pictures and not see how goofy a Viper can look when it's got so much tire to body clearance? Look at an M3.....hell look at a standard 325i.

Ok, how many threads are we going to have started with the SAME DAMN pictures? Does anyone know how to read and look at the OTHER 100 threads made this week about the "NEW" Coupe?

 

[FlyBryViper]

They rolled the coupe at VOI.8?

That lowered version looks a lot better, but its still NO streetable CC.

 

[Andrew/USPWR]

I've considered an SRT/10 for a 2nd Viper. I don't think I could part with my GTS though.

If they made the SRT's in some better colors, It would greatly speed my decision making process. A deep red, midnight blue, STEEL GREY, etc.

 

[GARY J]

No trade for me...

 

[Gerald]

I like it. I like it more than the SRT...
Once it's lowered, different rims and a 1000HP modded engine is gonna make that bad boy INSANE!!

The stripes really give it a good look.

I just showed it to my girl. Sometimes it's better to show it to someone with limited knowledge and no bias towards older and newer generations.

Immediatley she said it looked like a CAMARO. ugghh, sigh...oh well..

Then she said, it looks like a cross between a GenII GTS and a SRT10. I'll take that better than the Camaro comment.

 

[mit]

I like the wheels better than the SRT wheels. There is no way I would trade for a 2006 simply because I expect a big horsepower jump in 2007 or they are going to kill the car.

 

[Bernard]

I've got so much dough in my 2000 RT/10 I'm going to be buried in it. No trade up for me.

 

[Simms]

I don't think its bad, its no Comp coup, but still not bad. I'll stick with my GEN2. Now if it came with 600hp from the factory, it would look alot better.

 

[DEVILDOG]

No.

 

[YouWish]

Not even close...the GTS is still the king of all Vipers. Man did DC fck up!!!

 

[GTS Dean]

No.

 

[Lee00blacksilverGTS]

Not trading, keeping forever, but that lowered version looks nice. I remember someone, I think it was Gerald, said we have been hardwired about the blue/white GTS color for so long it clouds our perception of this car. I did not like the C6 until I saw it lowered and in BLACK. Somebody photoshop that lowered version in black solid color, no stripes and I bet we all get a lot more excited.

 

[KenricGTS]

I think it looks good. Will not trade my GTS in I love my B/W. I just bought the VCA SRT and sent it in to DLM to have close to 1000hp so I am good.

 

[VIPERCANE]

No trades on the GTS for that. Now, I don't know if I could even trade the GTS if they did make the CC either, probably just would have got rid of the wife's beetle and parked it in its place. She would never know.

 

[MbnViper]

if only 500hp DC is killing the C before it hits the showrooms floor so my answer is NO !

but 550/600hp im calling Bill

 

[V10 MOJO]

roof is fugly; horrible, it literally looks like they halfasssed slapped a chintsy roof onto a convertible. plus the rearend; theyre bullshiiting us, they didnt do a damnn thing still too short and stubby. at least its got nice wheels. oh and the excellent interior; IF YOUR VANILLA ICE WITH AN IDENTITY CRISIS!!!

this car ***** asss, back to drawing board

 

[ViperNM]

Not a chance. My 01 Sapphire ACR has 650 HP and has the timeless GTS look. The 06 coupe is a dad gum mutant!

 

[Gerald Levin]

If they came out with a street Comp Coupe (esp with 600-700 HP), it would only make the Gen 2's depreciate quickly as everyone and their mother would be ditching the Gen 2 for the vastly improved new Coupe. They are only killing the product and enhancing the value of the Gen 2's. Who is going to pay $86,000 for that car?

 

[GTS Bruce]

No thanks. GTS Bruce

 

[1BADSNK]

My first impression is DC screwed up. It looks too short and the back needs help. The GTS lost it's masculinity if it's going to look like that.

 

[Dv8tor]

How many times are we gonna see that same friggin' photos???

Most of you don't like it. WE GET IT!!!!!!!

Next...

 

[ViperLB]

I'll either keep my GTS or I'll buy the new Z06 if those are the current performance numbers. Why spend $85k to get spanked by a Chevy?

 

[Snakester]

I actually like the SRT-10 Coupe's styling just fine, but it's unforgivable to have the Viper remain at 500HP!
What are they thinking?
