Black is Back!(pics)

[SRT10]

Joe T. just got back from a trip to CAAP and he sent me these pics. He also said that the "deck lid lip" is different & the front fenders are higher. Its hard to tell from these pics but he saw them in person. Are these the changes that DC is making to the SRT-10?

Well I guess the cat is out of the bag, eh?

I had heard for a while that they were making the lip on the 'spoiler' higher and that they were making the fenders a bit more "bulbous" due directly to feedback on this site.

I have to say - the car looks awesome in those pics!

I can't wait to get mine!

I agree Mike. I wish I had some pictures of the front of the car.

As one of the Viper Club members that started the Black is Back Campaign... I'm looking forward to putting the 1st Black SRT-10 in my Viper Pit!

I must admit though I are more excited about getting the Comp Coupe!

My sentiments exactly Michael!

Whoa, hold your horses guys

I heard a while ago that the rear was being "adjusted" as were the fenders. It was because one of the comments from people that the car was too angular and straight. I think Steve F even posted as much on this site that the fenders "might be tweaked".

The reason (I believe) they were making these adjustments was that they were making adjustments anyways, and these parts are very easy to make changes to. Other parts (hood, doors, just about everything else) is NOT easy to change, so it won't.

I am 100% certain that even if EVERYONE broke out in a HUGE chorus of SRT hating AND showed up at CAAP's door with picket signs, it woulnd't change a THING.

I'm sorry to say it - but that's the truth! I like the car JUST AS IT IS, so I don't want ANYTHING more to change than we have seen in the pictures.

Don't forget... it's mid May... they should start building SRT's in, what, 8 weeks? You can be SURE that their suppliers are all lined up at this point and it's TOO LATE to change anything

On one hand, it's great to see a picture of a REAL black SRT Viper, not one that's been photoshopped. On the other hand, the black color completely swallows up the light and fails to show ANY discernible detail in the "revised" bodywork whatsoever. Black cars are extremely difficult to photograph. Whoever did this one probably spent 2 days setting it up and shooting it to get this one PERFECT picture.
