[WANTED]

on it, its just WOW the one's who have commited for a new coupe made a
great choice

WHEN YOU GET IT PLEASE POST SOME PICS OF IT ON THE STREET.

TOM - it just might be my 5th viper if i like it, no i will not ever be selling
my rt/10 but i will be buying another viper for sure

 

[sween]

yes its going to look awesome

here are some of my favorite pics of it

this ones my favorite

BTW when should we be seeing them on the streets?

 

[ViperRay]

Definitely needs stripes.
Can't decide if I like the H-pattern spokes or not.

 

[doctorbob]

I think the red with white stripes is good looking. I am not sure about red with silver stripes....can anybody post a photoshop of it? It would be great to see photos of all the combinations so you get to make a better choice.

 

[doctorbob]

I just thought of another question on the coupes...do you think DC will do a "mamba" series on the coupes?

 

[SRTRICKY]

Defenetly going to be one sick looking car!

 

[Turbo63]

I think coupe is a sharp car however I really enjoy open air driving - thats one of the reasons I backed away from the Chevy Z06.

 

[Andrew/USPWR]

The coupe is bad ass. Another winner by Dodge.

 

[sween]

i hope they do. i think it would be really cool. maybe a all white coupe with red stripes and red and black interior. that would look awesome.

Is it just me or does the coupe look like a modern day version of the Daytona coupe ?

 

[sween]

yes thats what its supposed to look like. the gts had a big influence on the daytona coupe. thats where the blue with two white stripes color combo came from.

 

[Keith C]

sween

Very new to Viper so I don't know the influence of the car etc. but if you look at the black car without stripes you can really see it.

 

[sween]

ohh i didnt know. sorry if i sound like an ass. heres a very good viper book that i have that i recomened. its called dodge viper by daniel F carney. great book. also if looking to buying a viper i recomened the dodge vipers buyers guide by marice Q liang. two great books.

 

[Keith C]

Didn't take it that way. I'm on this forum to learn from you Viper guys. My first edition coupe should be at Woodhouse this month and I will add the books to my library.

 

[sween]

post pics when you get it. its gonna be an awesome looking car. you definetly got the best color combo

The Ford GR-1 is a closer replica of the daytona. The gts was "inspired" by it.

 

[Mach10]

Anybody know what color options will be available for the coupe?
Just blue for now?? I think grey would be a nice edition...

 

[Keith C]

Warfang,

Now you and Sween have got my attention. The GTS, Ford SR1, Chrysler Firepower, Shelby series 1 ,Viper SRT vert and Coupe all share styling with each other and the Daytona Coupe. If Ford and Chrysler produce the SR1 and Firepower this could get weird.

 

[Viper X]

This car will look very good in white with blue stripes, a la comp coupe, not that it looks bad in any color.

 

[Blazin' Blue Viper]

WOW, I think I've done a complete u-turn on my opinion of the new coupe. I was really disappointed with the first looks at the coupe but after further review..... the red/white coupe looks incredible. I don't know if the design was tweaked but it doesn't look like just an SRT with a GTS top. The lines on this car have a more unique look. Thats what we want.

 

[Bill Pemberton Woodhouse]

The picture of the solid black Viper gives us a better view of how drastically different the rear window is than the one viewed at VOI on the prototype. The car looks much different with all the small improvements.

I am liking it more now than at first sight, probably because we're seeing pics of it now in sunlit environments. It looks more natural than in showrooms and convention halls. But it does still look like a srt welded onto a gts and lacks the in-your-face outrageous styling cues of the gen1/2. ... not that I would be ashamed to own or drive it.

Add +50 HP and I'm in! It would be a shame to have to get a GR1.

 

[vviperr]

It has definitely grown on me. For a limited production car backed by apparently limited resources, I think Dodge has done a great job. I still love my 2000 GTS ACR and instead of getting another Viper I have the 300 SRT8 on order from Bill Pemberton. Variety is the spice of life.

Thanks for pointing it out Bill. The Black Viper lines flow so much better than the prototype. Wow!

 

[Austin]

I have to admit, the coupe is growing on me (slowly). These, IMO, are the best looking wheels I've seen DC put on it. Next in line would be the newer 5 spoked wheels that were on the coupe at Crystal Cove.

 

[FinalEd357]

I believe someone asked about colors. According to this month's magazine, the 1st 200 will be Blue with White stripes (1st edition model with other specialities). Other colors are red, black and yellow with optional stripes on all colors. 3 choices of wheels.

 

[getbit]

also, Viper GTS Blue with or without silver stripes.
