I didn't say I liked it.
Of all the potential designs, concepts, they settled on the least exciting design. Why?
One of the greatest things about the original Viper is that the concept car design went into production virtually unchanged. Most concept designs become muted when they go into production.
The GenIII carbody design doesn't have any where near the flair of the Gen I and IIs. Does the GenIII look good? Of course! But I'm just disappointed that they didn't put the **WOW** into the design like the original.
BTW, I doubt I will be looking at the rear of it through my windshield.......I already have those numbers in my GenII. I guess that brings up another point; the Gen III is not much of an improvement in power and performance over the Gen II either.
The Gen III should look as wicked as possible, and have wicked power to match....like 575-600hp. Afterall, the Diablo 6.0 has about 575, so why not??

Hmmm Diablo 200,000 plus vs Gen III Viper for about 70,000.
For about 10-20,000 that Gen III would be at 600hp plus and the
Diablo doesn't look all that great to me. The Countach was the Lambo timeless design in my opinion. I too wish the Gen III carried more of the original Viper design, but it was too close to perfect as the Gen II. The Gen II was a hard act to follow, what other classic body style could they imitate? In the Viper
quarterly there were other designs I liked better, but they too
would have had their critics.
