Looks like the roadster will be coming as a 2015 model, according to this article:

good. i can get rid of my 2013 after two years instead of after one now. so thanks

 

[ViperSmith]

So are they going to bump it up to the The 2014 Viper this year?

with how behind production is, i wouldnt be surprised if we started seeing 1/2 year models at this point

I pray to the Viper Gods....PLEASE bring the ACR for 2014. Ralph did say it would be before the vert!

My feeling as well. I'm hoping for a stripped down model just for the track, not too pricey

I think I reported here on the boards previously how my 1993 on order turned into a 1994 because most of the 93 hoods were defective and all the orders were turned into 94s!!!

Yeah....Chrysler/SRT just wants to put out a great product...that's evident in how they keep tweaking the production to make sure it's perfect. That's also why the whole STRYKER RED paint issue exists. They just want it to be perfect.
And I'm still hoping to get one...ya never know?! I mean that premium that has to be paid to get the car (when delivered) might be a little offputting when push comes to shove! So maybe one of the so-called 'spoken for" ones will actually need a home?!

If it's meant to be..it'll happen! If not maybe there's a candy snakeskin green 2016 in my future?! (geez..I hope not! LOL!)

I'll just wait and hope and see.

It will be a convertible. This is how it was shown to us at VOI and Ralph has said himself that it will be a convertible.

Targa model would be real nice. Or if they go really innovative, they could do it like the Qvale Mangusta....targa top and if you want a full convertible, then the targa bar retracts into the back....

 

[BigDawg]

Targa with a coupe rear and complete vert with a unique rear FTW

 

[vipernut]

It was recently tweeted by the big guy (Ralph) that the 2013s will stay just that....2013s!!

Sounds cool I wonder how much weight it would add though. If weight is not an issue and since they are taking the Viper upscale I wonder if it will be a powered hard top convertable a la Mercedes/3000gt hardtop verts?

If anyone is interested how the Mangusta top works, go to 5:30-7 minutes....looks quite cool

A 2 piece carbon fibre , Targa Top should be easy to do ! With virtually No wieght penalty .

You are right. Very cool looking. I forgot how horribly ugly the Mangusta was/still is. Pretty trick targa/full vert design though.

 

[Indy]

Yeah, especially the front looks strange. The rear is ok, with the covered lights ,mounted fairly low. Motortrend included it in a high speed shootout with the GTS ACR, C5 Z06, 996 TT etc....I think it was last in acceleration and most other performance tests
