I heard the rumors about the '01 Viper

Re: I heard the rumors about the \'01 Viper

1) False (the second generation Viper will be a true convertible)
2) False (that will be the 2003 model, and it should be out around May of 2002)
3) True

ABS will come on all 2001 Viper's. The RT10 will be available all of 2001. There has ben no official announcement on when the RT10 will cease production, either 2001 or a small run in 2002, but the next generation Viper will come only as an RT10 version initially. A GTS version should make itself available around 2005-2006. There will be current GTS production (with no real evident body changes) into the 2002 production year.

The '01 Viper does have an RT version.

The '01 GTS body style is the same as your 2000.

The '01 does have ABS

The body style does not change until 2003. The rumor is that it will be a true convertible only.
