Should I be congratulating you on buying that monster?

Umm no that's the new FIA GT3 CC Chad.

Great looking Comp Coupe.
That front nose really looks aerodynamic.

Can't wait for the new street coupes to start showing up on the track.

there is a rumour that dodge may announce soon that they are coming back to GT1 for LM/ALMS. this particular car is one that will be competing in the FIA European GT3 Championship this year. the pic above shows the new Viper CC-GT3 testing at the Paul Ricard HTTT in France, where it was a full two seconds faster than the closest rival... which was of course, a vette. the new Z06.R. the other cars in the series are the Lamborghini Gallardo GT3, the Ascari KZR-1, Maserati Trofeo, Ferrari F430 GT3, Venturi Heritage GT3, and a couple others i can't think of off the top of my head... ORECA, by the way, is running the upkeep and distribution of the cars for the factory in Europe... what we REALLY need to see, is a new GT1 Viper though...

That's the GTS/R concept. Don't think you can get those.

Funny you should bring that up. Aren't all cars in FIA race applications of street models? This would be the first car not to have a street model. (exception of the SRT-10 and coupe)

well, with the FIA GT3 series specifically, they are bringing together cars that are commonly used in "one-make" series, such as ViperDays, Ferrari Challenge, Porsche Carrera Cup, etc. so not all of them are going to have a bespoke road model as often considered by the sanctioning bodies. so the fact that the CC is not as based off of the SRT as the GTS-R was the GTS, is not of real issue, because they are allowing in ground up racecars from single make style series', so long as they fall into a specific performance envelope. also to be noted, is that the FIA in this particular instance, is limiting the number of initial manufacturers, in this case i believe it's nine.

a new generation GT1 race car would probably have to lose the CC "longtail" shape, and replace it with one more closely linked to the coupe's rear styling... then again, the rules once said that you had to keep the original roof, so to get around it, porsche just built a new one on top... the engineers will always find a way...

Is it just me or does that front end look a bit lower and more aerodynamic than the original comp coupe?

Are we getting a preview of the new 2008 Viper coupe's front end?

and much longer. They were being built when we toured back in November. Looked much sleeker.
