    Coupe Comparison: SRT-10 vs. GTS

    Colors make a huge difference to the perception of shape, curves, shadows, and lines of a car. I would need to see a 06 coupe next to a GTS of similar color scheme. Coupe does look wonderful though.

    How Many Built?

    went to rogerscorvette site as suggested...comparing coupes to coupes...looks like (if math is correct) 112,781 corvette coupes were produced during the GTS run. Redid the math on the GTS...it went up to 7332. So about 1 GTS for every 15 corvette coupes (was just taking a break from work...

    How Many Built?

    I think there have been a total of 6702 GTS built from 1996 to end of production in 2002. Wanted to compare how many vette coupes were built for the same period (obviously includes C5s and C6s) but cannot find any info.

    srt's ARE PHOTOGENIC

    Re: srt\'s ARE PHOTOGENIC OK I will try being constructive These are the best pics I can remember seeing of the SRT/10. The silver car with the black wheels appeals more (just my fancy). Since I have never inspected the SRT/10 in person, my present views are subject to change. Would love to...

    CCW's, 355 or 345's???

    Re: CCW\'s, 355 or 345\'s??? Good morning acrdakota I really don't know (slightly embarrassed). Bought the car 5 months ago or so as you see it. Thought everything was stock. Didn't even understand what the FE plaque was about. Bought it from a mercedes dealer, who advertised it as a RT/10 so...

    CCW's, 355 or 345's???

    Re: CCW\'s, 355 or 345\'s??? Inferno 345/30ZR19...105Y I think the previous owner lowered vehicle. There is an edge/lip or ridge under the front of the car. It is 3 inches off the ground. I think maybe stock it would be 5 inches. As you know I use the car as a daily driver and being lowered...

    How many of you..... (Gen I vs Gen II RT/10 questions)

    Just as a side note about a Viper I am mechanically challenged although been driving sports cars since 1972. Only had a GenII. It's my only car and am probably in the minority for using a Viper as a daily ride. I drive the speed limit 99% of the time. The car is surprisingly docile in city...

    Will new coupe hurt our values?

    At that angle and with those stripes I agree. No doubt about it that is a handsome automobile.

    Will new coupe hurt our values?

    How much is the new coupe? 84K or thereabouts. There will still be a strong market for GenIIs at 20 or 25K less. Unfortunately, although it looks a lot like the GTS, remove the stripes and from some angles it looks a lot like a C6 coupe. I would like to see an unstriped 06 coupe next to a C6...

    Wing or no Wing?

    much better...well done...nice smooth lines and curves now all the way from front to rear

    Wing or no Wing?

    think it looks awful on a gts or rt10...maybe a tad worse on the rt10. But if you're going to keep it...balance it out with front air dam/fascia or whatever it's called.

    Newbie looking for a Viper

    go to www.feviper.com; it's a site dedicated to the FEs. You can learn a lot about the history and purpose of the FE and find out where most are located and maybe if any are for sell.

    Reasons to buy your 8l gas guzzling beast !

    I wanted to drive a car that reminded me of my youth tearing up the streets of London in a Triumph...rough and ready. As I am 50+ and my personal horsepower is declining, I have a need to surround myself with an artificial supply. At least this is what my 6ft tall younger, fitter, stronger...

    Side by side SRT coupe & ZO6... (pic)

    It's insane to bash a GenII or a GenIII. Each has its own appeal and each is an amazing automobile. Wish I had both in my driveway so that I could thoroughly enjoy the unique virtues of each one. Alas, if I did, I would expose myself to the condition mentioned in my signature.

    From Stealth TT to Viper... Can it compare?

    Can only comment on driving a GenII Viper every day. It's my only vehicle and a joy even in traffic. Drive sensibly and it's very well behaved even in hard rain and T-storms. Haven't ever driven a GenIII but it is a more sophisticated vehicle, so may actually be even better as a daily ride...

    What is the strangest or BEST reaction you've had to driving your viper?

    Re: What is the strangest or BEST reaction you\'ve had to driving your viper Traded my z06 for the GTS a few months ago. 2 fellow employees asked me why I striped my vette.

    Gen IIIs cheaper than Gen IIs

    When I started this post, it was based just upon an observation which puzzled me and noone else had as yet brought up the point that...it at least appears that a few SRT10s are valued less than a few GenIIs. If it was my intent to ruffle feathers, I would have posted this topic in the SRT...
