Do you guys think a convertible option for the gen V's will come in 2014 or maybe 15'? Would love to see this beauty with a dropped top!
thats my dilemma too. but if i hold out a year for the drop top I'll miss out on the launch edition. Unless they do a limited edition vert?
Fingers crossed for a different rear end. Coupe rear does not fit the vert IMO. It looks like an afterthought...because it is

Yea we've seen the design in a 360 rendering and it's the coupe rear exactly, just pull the roof off and you have the vert. Sorry you're not a fan, it's darn **** IMO.

Well, if you look at the 4th gen, the weights were pretty much even (coupe weighs 13 lbs more than roadster).

Same is true for the previous generations, weights are really close for both models. So gen V will probably have similar weights as well.
So it just comes down to which body style you prefer.
The previous generations were all designed as verts first so they are going to be a little lighter. Typically, cars that are designed as coupes first and converted to verts will weigh more due to having to strengthen the frame for the lack of roof. The Gen V was designed as a coupe, not a vert, so I would expect it to be a bit heavier in vert form.

with only 1500 units a year every Viper is limited edition. In the past the number cars were produced in higher numbers or duplicate cars than regular sold orders.
But I understand the reasoning behind a numbered car.
