N E W C O U P E

[VPRGTS]

Just heard from VOI via telephone .....

New Coupe has arrived !!!

Blue with white stripes. I am told that it does not look like a Comp Coupe but it also does not look like an SRT10 with a hardtop ?!

So what does it look like?

Hopefully someone will post pics tonight.

How much power does it crank out?

Re: N E W CO U P E

I wanna see some high-res pics and some stats!

Re: N E W CO U P E

From what I can see it looks good. I would like to see more shots from the side and rear though. High-res pics and stats are always good too.

Re: N E W CO U P E

the pictures really aren't all that great. They look like they were taken off a cell phone. But I gotta give credit to the person who took them, their the only ones on the net.

Re: N E W CO U P E

I am disappointed in not seeing an air scoop on the roof and no prominent rear wing, otherwise it's what I expected from what I can see in the pictures on the alley. Here is the link, what do you guys think from these limited photos?:



Glad it's real.

SRT10 front end, GTS rear end ??

Re: N E W CO U P E

It sure looks that way. I'm glad there isn't a rear wing. Let those who want one put one on aftermarket and make a special edition with a wing like the GT2.

Re: N E W CO U P E

I was hoping the front would be much wider and there be a roof scoop or at least a double ****** top. And I would like more agressive vents on the hood.

What I think makes a supercar what it is, is the unique features that other cars don't have. For instance the GTS had the headlight measuring bubble integrated into it that is caramel colored. They need to add in more unique touches to make it more "art like" because it obviuosly has the performance down.

Re: N E W CO U P E

Taking another look, I still think DC should just simply copy the roof scoop on the competition coupe and put it on the new coupe. I need mine with a roof scoop, it's a must!! The wheels are nice but they would look better if they were chrome, unless they are intentionally like that because they are magnesium?? Brake calipers look awesome of course underneath. The rear is stubby and too upright from what I can see so far, not like they GTS well rounded and smooth. What do you guys think?

Needs more unique touches as Al already stated.

Good night.

Re: N E W CO U P E

As announced by our friends at Dodge... THE NEW CONCEPT COUPE!

Here You Go Guys! Awesome!:

 

[wow]

Re: N E W CO U P E

Estimated cost and specs?

Re: N E W CO U P E

Thanks for the pics.

First impression is that while it looks okay, I am not blown away. In my humble opinion, they better put up some good hp numbers to add to it's appeal as well as stay ahead of the bowtie.

Comparing a genII GTS with this car stock for stock - I know the new car is faster, handles better and brakes better but in my opinion, the GenII GTS looks better. Power, brakes and handling can be fixed.

I think DC just saved me a bunch of money.

Re: N E W CO U P E

In the rear, are those aerodynamic body panel inserts hanging down in black or are they exhaust pipes? I am guessing the former because it has side exhaust. I think it looks more functional and productionized than exotic and agressive(I've already given my two cents above on what it's missing), but still it's fine looking. The wheels could be 1 inch bigger to fill up the wheel wells more. What do you guys think?

Re: N E W CO U P E

That rear is ugly! It doesnt flow with the car at all. I honestly dont think the rear of the new coupe should look like the GTS. It should look similar to the CC without the wing.

Re: N E W CO U P E

wow wow wow i been wating so long to see how that snake was going to look and i will wait till 2006 if i have to
holly sh$$ttttttt that is bad asssssssssssssssssssssss

 

[MoparMan]

Re: N E W CO U P E

I think it looks cool, but they should have run the rear glass a little farther towards the rear of the car.

Any word on pricing?

 

[Go Fast For Life]

Re: N E W CO U P E

I like it! Looks like DC has been listening to everyone who said the GEN II has better styling. WAY TO GO DC. Now lets put about 600HP in that baby and rock!

 

[Gary Lashinsky]

Re: N E W CO U P E

I was hoping as all of us were for a street version of the Comp. Coupe. It is not bad looking but not as in your face as the Gen. II GTS was. I will buy one but would have liked a more agressive look both front and back.

 

[Andrew2KRT10]

Re: N E W CO U P E

Side view...okay, front okay, .....rear ???? What is with the rear??? Bad.

Re: N E W CO U P E

Am I crazy, or does this thing look like it has a trunk? Look at all the seams in the rear. More seams in the front (no clamshell), which I expected, but I did not expect all these seams in the rear. At first I was excited, but after seeing all the pics, I'm not impressed at all. I think the Gen II looks WAY better. Why couldn't Dodge just do this? Is there ANYONE that doesn't like the GTS-R concept over this new concept? BTW - This car looks incredible with or without the wing and roof scoup.

 

[patgilm]

Re: N E W CO U P E

Wow, I have to say I'm not too impressed either. I was really excited to see it looking similar to the GTSR concept above. Unfortunately I'm a little disappointed. It looks like a Gen III front merged with a Gen II rear. Why oh why?????

 

[Wayne Finch]

Re: N E W CO U P E

Have to agree on the back end but I still like it. Add skirts, lower it, and I'm there



Here it is lowered a bit

 

[Lawrenzo]

Re: N E W CO U P E

I've always favored the side view of my GTS over the SRT. I still think the curvacious lines of the old clamshell hoods gives our cars a better profile. The rearward curving lines just seem to "flow" better overall with the body.
