Gen 5s rolling out...

[PDCjonny]

Either the front end looks bulky or the front wheel looks tiny The Gen 5 is so weird one minute it looks good the next it look all wrong. Maybe Im just weird.....

The front looks wider than the rear in those pictures.

Sweet!! Can't wait..

Having spent a lot of time walking around it closely, it's so friggin curvey and wide. Pics I think get skewed in 2D so dimensions don't translate, kinda the way the Gen3/4 pics don't do justice to the depth of the sides of the car. The Gen5 is a 3D experience, so get your glasses and lets see some iMax 3D photoshop pics. LOL

I thought that too, and then I saw the top-down view in the popular mechanics article, which helped clarify things.

Using a moderately wide lense and shooting from the front will do that

I believe the front track is actually wider then the rear.

Really looks sinister in black!

I'm digging the black.

What wheels are used for track package? Anyone know.

You mean this?

Yep... got the 1st off prototype wheel at the reveal in NY.... Also got the banner to go with it at the Ohio party.

You can see the one one the gts-r is called The Sidewinder2... If memory serves correct, I believe the 5 spoke mentioned earlier was called The Rattler.

I wonder (hope) if the gen 5 wheels will fit all years of vipers.

That's because they increased the front width by a few inches I think without balancing out the rear proportionally. Even those it's closer it's still not as wide as the rear. If you remember the mules they had a wider front with the same rear.

Looks like we're going back to hubcaps.

Should fit at least the Gen3/4 cars, fronts 1/2" wider so should be no problems.

I'm really looking forward to seeing one in the flesh.
NOT under perfect auto show lighting with glitzy effects but just sitting in a parking lot.
A box of Kleenex looks good under specialized high intensity lighting at an indoor show.
Then we will know how it stacks up.
