So what do you think? Still looks like a Viper, no confusing this car for a S2000 or a Camaro.

All right... This is actually the new body kit from Autoform, so it's not really the next GTS. However this is what I imagined it would have look like prior to seeing the SRT or CC. Kept the original look and built upon it. From the pics you can see they took a lot of que's (sp?) from the CC (rear end, wing, hood scoop) but kept the "sole" of the original. A kit like this made for the SRT would probably keep even the "whiners" from whining

I have no idea the color but it does look the same as mine so I would say its the 96-97 Viper blue. The original thread is below if you want to ask

MES.......that thing looks beautiful! DC should've just turned over the new design to Autoform!!!

That design is the only thing I've seen so far that I'd trade my GTS for.

Wow.

Saw the car before it left for One Lap. It is unbelievable. Color is Viper Blue with silver stripes. Any one notice the built in trailer hitch ????

Let's see if I get this right...

1) Take a GTS
2) Add in a bunch of styling cues from the SRT that everyone hates
3) You now have a GTS that everyone loves, that looks 99% like the old car, but with all of the styling cues that everyone HATES from the new car.


Sorry guys - to me, this car looks like a kindergarten class was let loose on a GTS with a tube of krazy glue and some bits of plastic. The rolling-pin sized wheels don't help either.... why on earth did the Viper EVER come with 17" wheels up until 1998? The new wheel sizes make the whole car. This one just looks silly.
