Cool shot! Very interesting as they are all different but it is very apparent they are all Viper. Having a GEN III 2006 Coupe first out the gate, my heart felt that model year was the best and my preferred over the older models. We still love it for what it is, but now that we have this 1996 RT/10, we are really enjoying it and falling in love with it.
We originally wanted a GEN II Coupe as we love that model too, but this 96' RT with no frills, no air-bags, no nothing but what it is, this is just as much fun as can e had with the clothes on. With the new GEN V models being $75k to $125k more than what we have in this RT, it almost seems like an extreme bargain. Yes, to the point we can drive this RT a ton of miles, get a stone chip or scratch here or there and not bat an eye of worry.
Each of these GEN Coupes is special for what it is. They are all evolutions of he former. Looking at the fronts, the headlights tell a tale as they go from smiley face in the II, to angered in the III, to ********** in the V. In those pictures, I actually like the V front end the best now, which I never thought I would say. Would be great to see some rear pics and side by sides (staggered) to see more. Any of those out there?
What we do know is that each GEN is a significant better driving experience. I believe there is no denying that.
The big "wow" picture will be showing a GEN I Roadster, a GEN III Convertible and a GEN V roadster/convertible (sorry we had to miss VOI 12 due to timing against personal so not sure what that will look like). I believe that will show a much greater distinction that the Coupe Comparison.
GEN V is a great comeback, it's just SRT kind of lost us a bit on the cost. It is just so very expensive. Yes you can play the inflation game and justify, blah, blah, blah but in the end, it is way, way up there to the point where middle age people (with Vipers) with families just can't justify that kind of expenditure with family responsibilities (schools, marriages, etc) coming up. That is unfortunate, but then again there is the used market in a few years. Will be interesting to see sales numbers from the first year.
Now let's see the rear shots.
