Speak for yourself. There's no such thing as too much horsepower. And while driving ANY car, even a sedan, to it's limits on public roads is never really a good thing, that is not to say that one can't drive it.
I for one think the 640hp was too low. We went from 400->450->500->600->640. That...
The Viper V is dead. 640hp sucks. Pricing was not mentioned because SRT is gauging interest. Once they figure out all the suckers are lined up, they will raise the price. I predict a 2015 permanent demise of the Viper. Brand new 2010s Viper IVs can still be bought.
Long live my GTS, still the...
Evolution usually means improvement of form for function. I don't see any improvement of form but a mish-mash of design suggestions being implemented by in-the-box designers.
I wonder why the pre-reveal was in NY and the autoshow in NY. Must have been because of the bitchin' NYers.:nono:
Talk is cheap so I'll add some. I'll roast you in my stock Gen II, Mr OhioDoc from Las Vegas.
BTW, the Gen V sucks! I would wait for the Gen VI but this is the end of the Viper...
Spot on. I think the designers at SRT have been promoted beyond their level of competence. They will be the undoing of the Viper. I predict pathetic sales. Nobody cares about how well the Viper does at the 'ring because the US market loves the straight line, drag strip performance. The Mustangs...
Front comments:
- Love the blacked out front grill. I think the grill dimensions should've been a little taller.
- Hate the hood. It's fugly. I don't know where to start. But I think the market for aftermarket hoods will be good.
- Hate the bumper. It doesn't curve right especially under the...
Given that the plastic covers ARE under the hood, I see the positives in weight savings and cost. OTOH, for those who want CF everywhere, that's called expensive supercar. The Viper was the original inexpensive supercar and should stay true to that.
I just threw up seeing those photos. :crazy2: It doesn't do it for me like the Gen II does today after 14 years of owning it. :headbang: I'll now begin the long wait for a Gen VI.:2tu:
The reason this is not the Viper V is because it looks good.
But it's not the Gen V because it looks like a midmount engine, roofline does not match the SRT teaser, hoodline does not match the SRT teaser, blah, blah.
I guess we still have to wait for our ugly-on-the-outside...
I'm with you 01Viper4me. I was a regular with the VCA from almost the inception. Missed one year back in the late 90s and got a new join date. Not that it mattered to me. Then about 3 years ago, I got fed up with the magazine, discontinued Membership and eventually got downgraded to...
Looks just like Ralph Gilles promised, inspired by a naked woman on the beach. I've been critical of the exterior so far but I do like the interior. I must say that that after seeing the interior on most of Chrysler's high end lineup, I'm not surprised. They definitely got their act together in...
True. While I never thought anybody would want to go to a Mustang after owning a Viper, that is the state the Viper is in now. Unsold 2010s in 2012! Pricing that sucks. The Viper is no longer the price-performance vehicle it used to be.
+1. I see this scenario unfolding at this pricepoint. I think the dealers still sitting with "new" 2010 Gen IV inventory will be happy at this pricepoint. They will get to sell their stuff without a loss (no profit either). OTOH, they will not invest much in the Gen V and Chrysler will be forced...
..... continuing the trend along with the poor quality trend. Consumer reports ranked Chrysler dead last amongst 13 manufacturers.:crazy2:
I for one, couldn't care about an ultra closeup of a gas cap perhaps. Oh ya! Just look at that fantastic gas cap! I must have the Viper V for that stunning...
If you want to do it right, you will need to drain the block too. Assuming your Gen III is like my Gen II, you first need to drain the radiator (drain plug on underside), remove coolant bottle if it has any overflow (in bumper) and open the 2 NPT plugs in the block under the exhaust manifold. I...
