If price was the same, would you go Coupe or Vert??

[ViperCrazed]

Just wondering what everyone's reasons behind picking either was?

 

[Kaya]

I would always pick a coupe over vert because I drag race my cars.

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

Coupe. Better looking and better for racing.

I don't care for verts. I liked the RT/10 but it wasn't a vert.

 

[SylvanSRT]

i always like the top to go down, and put a roll bar in because i like to run track/driver ed. days

 

[big-n-italian]

i have always liked the coupes. i just think all cars look more aggressive and **** with a "hard" roof.

Coupes look better, period. That being said, ever since we moved from the Palm Desert, California region to north coast San Diego I only buy verts. From a driving/use perspective, it becomes another car different than the one with the top on and much more enjoyable to drive for me. My 2005 has a roll bar.

I'd get the SRT vert. I want my Viper for crusin.

Coupes DON'T FIT TALL FOLKS.

[Andrew/USPWR]

That's a tuffy. The coupes haven't grown on me that much, but for the track, I'm sure there fantastic.

I like the coupe, test drove a copperhead, and driveing with the top down, just wasn't for me.

 

[SRTRICKY]

Just to see which one I would do I went and drove around in my car with the top on on a nice warm sunny afternoon...I would defenetly go vert again

 

[Kai SRT10]

I've owned 4 convertibles, including my Viper. I love top-down motoring and wouldn't trade my convertible for a coupe, even though the coupe is the better track car.

 

[ViperCrazed]

Yeah, I guess a vert could be better for me. Halfway through college and already doin my viper planning

besides, the vert prices will probably be closer to my range than the new coupes.

 

[Newport Viper]

Get too much sun on the golf course. Time for a coupe!

 

[Snakester]

Having an open high performance car is the best of the best for me. I like the Viper coupe as well, just not as much as the convertible.

 

[zen garage]

Top down motoring all the way.

 

[Jeff Lemke]

No brainer. Vert.

 

[418viper]

Could one of you guys please post pictures of your rollbar installed on a SRT10? , or just pm me, thanks! sorry to change the subject.

Convertible. You can always add a hardtop if you want.

For the racing comments out there that think you must have a coupe for racing how do you explain F1, Indy, Champ, etc?

 

[Sellshomesdrivesviper]

My first convertible and I'm glad I got it.
Personally, I think the car looks better as a vert than a coupe.

 

[DanAuito]

I prefer not to be couped up.

 

[VENOMAHOLIC]

On the street a convertible is a must have for me.

 

[Racer Robbie]

open air motoring is the only way to go for me!

That can't be a serious question.

COUPE.

Not "must" just "better" for sports car racing. Purpose built open cockpit racecars have a much lower center of gravity and are built with appropriate safety measures.

 

[FinalEd357]

Great question. I've always like the aggressive styling of a coupe, moreso than the vert. However, recently having seen the red vert w/ silver stripes may have changed my mind. I've never owned a convertible, but if I ever do, it would definitely be an SRT-10 - the very BEST convertible car in my opinion! I'm sure you guys just love those on 75 degree, sunny days.

The vert we live in Wi. on cool days we put the top down ,turn the heat on and go. Also not enough head room in the coupe for our Rottweiler. Go for it,the keys are in the ignition.

 

[sween]

Coupe!

<< For the racing comments out there that think you must have a coupe for racing how do you explain F1, Indy, Champ, etc? >>

on the other side of that coin, there is a reason NASCAR banned convertibles like they used to run a long time ago.

everything else aside, the convertibles just looked weird.

 

[GR8_ASP]

Nascar. That is funny. Like you still have the carburetor, distributor, flat tappet camshaft, etc? Are they still running the Ford Fairmont chassis?
