Yes, VERY real. These are NOT Photoshops.

I'd have to say the rear 3/4 view of the coupe is the best.

at the 3/4 angle, those rims look cool. However, spot on...they look very out of place.

Those rims are NASTY!! Uhhhgggg!

I disagree Clint. It's getting there. It can't be easy to build a car and then have to tweak it because GM has built one so identical.

It's a step in the right direction. Thanks for the pics.
Chuckster,
I respect your opinion a lot, but I don't see this new SRT Coupe as a contiguous and fluid design. To me, progress and innovation in the auto industry requires constant development and forward-thinking. It's like the first half of the car is designed with that in mind and the second half is a tacky add-on that wasn't even worthy of consideration, much less production. I'm just amazed that this car is being produced in the trim that it is; it seems assanine to try to make the curvaceous Gen II meld with the straight-edged Gen III. Honestly, the idea doesn't even begin to click with me as being 'ok'.
Anyway, I really think that DC screwed the pooch on this car, style wise. As far as performace goes, I think it's an awesome machine, but beyond that, the f'd up roof add on with visible seam lines and the clashing rear-end ruin the car as a whole for me.
Make the Gen III GTS look like the CC and you have yourself a styling knockout, but don't create a bastard child of a car in order to cut costs and ease production headaches.

I like the styling of the SRT-Coupe. Certainly much more than the Comp Coupe, which is wildly impractical for the street, and very heavy in the rear.
The only thing lacking to me is no power boost for the coupe.

What's with the wheels?

"impractical?" A Viper? Naaaaah.
They said the same thing in 1992 but Lutz had the balls to build it anyway. This current group of designers lack those balls.
That's the campaign we need to push. There are too many SRT owners and Johnny-come-latelys that are content with the Viper HP even though numerous cars are joining the 500 club. The Viper needs to stay AHEAD of the crowd.The only thing lacking to me is no power boost for the coupe.

I hear you Clint, but I'll overlook lackluster styling for performance any day. Looks are for posers. I'll ***** and complain about it but in the end it's the performance that will sell me the car.
This car will never be the 10 that our GenI&II are, but if they bump the HP I'll be perfectly happy with it.
That 3/4 shot doesn't look bad anyway. Put the NACA duct back on the hood and it'll be ok.

Wheels do look like a$$
I'd rather have these off this POS Dodge.

Is that the new Copperhead?

What if those funky wheels weighed 5-8 pounds less than any previous Viper wheel - would you like them better then? Perhaps there is a method to their madness. And I remind you, don't knock the new Coupe until you have seen it in person. It looks SO much better in person than in pictures, especially the rear end. A dark silver version is going to be beautiful.

My girlfriend might be ugly in these pics.... but wait until you meet her in person. With an intro like that, what's a reasonable person's expectation?

To flip that, there is a girl in my office who I would probably fly to Vegas and marry this weekend if she would have me, but once I saw a picture of her and WHOA is she is *****-o-rama in pictures. Just saying that when I saw the car at Barrett-Jackson I was really amazed at how cohesive it felt in person as opposed to feeling cobbled together in pictures. I still say park the SRT-10 Coupe next to a C6 Z06 and the Vette will disappear.

The vette's got nothing to do with it. IMO, the vette would disappeaar behind an srt4. Say what you will about the coupe, it has nothing on the gts on styling... which is very unfortunate. I can deal with a new design that is a huge departure from the gts, but this half@$$ed lil bit of srt10 and a lil bit of gts, just has laziness written all over it. Does it look good? Better than 90% of the cars out there. 90% is not good enough.
Let's not even discuss performance...

To have a great car...people have to fit into it.
So far, the mule I sat in...doesn't work!
Oh- and put the white back in the license plate area!

You're better off having better looking wheels and driving nekkid if you just want to save 5lbs!
