Looks pretty nice, but mine's paid for and I'm keeping it.

If HP and weight rumors are correct, the Viper coupe should be right behind the Corvette C-6.

 

[SnakeBitten]

Its the Frankenstein Viper...Patchwork of two generations...Not cohesive in looks imho and just embarassingly high off the ground for a sportscar ...Its a nice looking car but not a Grand Slam like the GTS...More like a line drive single to left field...

 

[David]

Still has a cup holder -- that about sums it up...

 

[Craig 201 MPH]

what a sad thing to do to such a great car.

 

[RPHJR]

I'll keep my GTS, thanks..

 

[Hot Rod]

I thought the new coupe might temp me enough to move up from my '99 RT. So far, I'm not impressed. I'll divert to some other form of "stress relief" A second Harley for the wife so we can do some riding together is looking good!

 

[Newport Viper]

Crap, carp crap. I have been saving for along time to buy this car!

I WILL KEEP MY MONEY DC.

 

[Newport Viper]

someone photo shop it yellow please.

 

[Fiorano]

Both the GTS and the new Z06 look better.

 

[Bigot Bledsoe]

Hate gas cap location, side exhaust and 4x4 stance.

p.s. the wheels are dogsh!t.

 

[ssssssnake]

It just makes my GTS look that much better (if thats possible)

 

[Snakester]

If it had come out with 625HP, there would be few complaints, and the name of Viper would be the buzz of the automotive press again.

But without even 1 measly HP more for the SRT-10 Coupe it's an insult and embarassment to the Viper community.
With the new Coupe's acceleration slipping well behind the Ford GT, being slower than the less expensive and lighter C6 Z06 Corvette. Soon the Viper will be compared to the upcoming SVT Cobra Mustang.

What was DC thinking?
