A few months ago someone posted red vipers, new and old, side by side. If you are here and still have them can you repost or send some shots to me, thanks.

seems like it was about Oct when I saw this post. I have tried 3 searches but no luck. Or how about you lucky multiple owners, any side by side pics?

slithrn, that is exactly the one I was looking for, thanks much my man
I don't know why people bash gen III except they are resisting change. There are things I like better about each model but they are both beautiful.

I love the clamshell and the sports bar but would I miss them if I decide on the srt10? Don't think so. They are both really unique, and to my eye, beautiful designs AND wonderful cars. thanks all for the pics
chioceviper- thats the comparison closest to my heart as I just love black cars
I think Ron has the right idea, one of each. Hey Ron, which one do you drive more?

Love the aggresive look of the srt10 front end!
I have 32,000 miles on the RT/10 and less than 3500 on the SRT. This year the SRT won. New car syndrome plus The RT/10 was not driven until July. I was redoing the exhaust and suspension - and with the SRT available I was going about it pretty slowly. Don't know about next year. In great weather it will be hard not to choose the RT/10. Just has more "fun to drive" factor.
Now if Sean ever gets the Gen I supercharger package sorted out the SRT may be the one sitting around during June-August. In inclimate weather the SRT will win hands down. Haven't had the RT/10 roof out in nearly 2 years and do not plan on it (ever again).

why wouldn't you want to take the top off the r/t? i just got my viper less than a month ago and have never taken it off. too cold in cincinnati. is it that bad to take off? btw, just got a fresh shipment of zaino products.... sweet.... clay bars and all...
I may not have been clear. I have not had the roof off the shelf in the garage in 2 years. I do not carry it in the car unless I am going somewhere where I might get caught. But this year I know I never put it in the trunk. Never took it (the car) out unless the weather was perfect.

I've been very critical of the SRT styling, but will concede that the head-on and front 3/4 angles are very good.

I think its very cool that each, imho, have their superior design points and yet both are totally badasss designs that distinguish themselves on any road. thanks all for the great pics. While we are at it, any silver side by side pics?

I had really mixed emotions when I saw the SRT for the first time, but I've seen two red ones cruising by when I was on my way home from school back in August, and they still make my heart pound like the GTS and RT/10 do. A big departure from the old style, but they're still Vipers and they're still bad ass.

I still think the gen 1 and 2's have a meaner, more american muscle look to them, while the srt's have more of a s-2000/vette look...but they are starting to grow on me.
the srt does have nice crystal foglights now in comparison to the previous.

I like both of them, but to me I have always liked the roll bar look of the RT/10 and I think thats the main thing thats missing from the SRT. I did a photoshop rollbar on the Srt that turned out good, Its In my Gallery in the media section if someone would like to post it here as I have forgotten how.
I have noticed one thing, and that is that the true essence of a Gen-1/2 cannot be captured in a picture, while a Gen-3 can...it is curious.
Thats not to say that the Gen-3 isnt growing on me... May have to pick one up. NO WAY will it be a replacement to the GTS, just an addition.

Interesting you should say that, as I think it is the exact opposite. 99% of the people that see the Gen III in person immediately say, "Wow, it looks a lot different in person than it does in pictures." Even I was put off by the pictures I saw of the SRT when it came out. My plan was to turn mine and buy another GTS. Once it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. A week of driving it and I was hooked. Mind you, it will NEVER have the audacious exotic looks of the GTS, but it looks 10X better in person than any picture could possibly capture. And I have shot a LOT of them. Even my avatar picture (click the one on the left) is a good shot, but it still doesn't explain the car well. Either way, you can't lose with a Viper!

Has any painted the inside headlight bezel black on Gen 1 or 2 to make it look like Gen 3 - ie., that way you can distinctively see the round headlights
