Looks to much like 2013 Viper?

[mattdillon]

Guys, when I first saw this BMW Zagato, I thought it looked ALOT like the Viper? I know not all the curves are exactly the same but to me its Very Similar! jmo

 

[BlknBlu]

Looks like a BMW Chettah to me, too squatty in my opinion.

I see the resemblance but its very different in proportions. The color may have something to do with the perceived similarity to the intro-car for the Gen V.

You should check out these other images of other Zagato designs, if anyone copied anyone, Zagato was copied, not the Gen 5

You'd think they both had some of the same engineers, OR there was some spying going on, Lol! jmo

Not even close . This is like when people where comparing the honda s2000 to the srt10 all over again. Wait till you see it in person and I'm convinced you will see it's not even close.

Tony, you're probably right (I was just going by the pic when I first saw it) just seemed like a good bit of resemblence, & there is definitely some of it! Even people on yahoo made the comparisons & they probably don't even own a Viper, just saw the pics! jmo

It looks nothing like a 2013 viper stay off the crack pipe

 

[viper k]

The only thing looks like the 2013 viper is the color!

K, are you serious (NOTHING) I think YOU are a CH (but, I guess theres no reason to get into that on here is it) if you've got a problem with ME, why don't you just PM ME! This was just an opinion about a pic, there's NO REASON for you to say crap like that.

Another enthusiast bashing a "Members" opinion....lol..this is the exact problem I had on a closed thread today that I had opened a few days ago with my "Opinon" of something as well, and I got crap from enthusiasts and sadly enough, from members backing up enthusiasts. Makes you wonder why we do pay to be members on here.
I got calle a ****** from Austin..lol.. and he said why someone who can't spell members should be allowed to post or be here in the first place. Meanwhile the home page of the VCA site has 2 mispelled words on the first paragraph last sentence. I guess the VCA shouldnt be on here either..in his opinion...lol...makes me laugh.

 

[viper k]

Why wood i have a problem with you sound like the only problem is you!

WHY WOOD! Talk about mis-spelling! Guess I just need to let this go, cause I still haven't received a pm from you K (but, I don't know since you're only an enthusiast you may not be able to pm me). Also, Administrators maybe its best to end this lil' thread before it gets out of hand, when I just started it out as a personal opinion when I First saw that pic & gave MY opinion! If you want to continue, well let the games begin!

I see what you are seeing. There is a resemblance but as I say it's the same kind of resemblance between a srt10 and a s2000 or a bmw z4. As other have mentioned the proportions are very different. I haven't see the new viper in person but I'm sure if you park it side by side with this bmw Zagato you wouldn't even realize the zagato is there. Not nearly in the same category looks wise.

Edit:

viper k, With all due respect I think you should watch your tone... mattdillon was only expressing an opinion and we all are entitled to have them. It's fine if you respectfully disagree but there is no need to be rude JMHO. In viper k defense he seems to be a nice guy with generally valid view points, not usually trolling threads. May be he was having a bad day.

Agreed with this. Although the first time I saw this, my first thought was the Alfa Romeo tz3 rather than the Gen 5

Ya'll are probably right (blknblu even mentioned earlier the BMW Chettah 3) I haven't seen Either of those cars, I just saw this pic they had posted on yahoo & TO ME it kinda resembled the New Viper (but yea, I was also thinking what is the deal with that same color) thats the ONLY reason I mentioned it!

I believe that's the exact definition of a troll.

K, Hey this forum is a family & we should all get along whether we agree on things or not (that's what a forum's all about to start with, everyone giving their opinion)! It would be REALLY Boring if we all agreed! jmo

 

[viper k]

MATTDILLON i will never come to dodge city!

 

[Bill Pemberton Woodhouse]

But Viper K , you are on the Dodge Viper ( now SRT Viper site) , so you are already in Dodge City, and since you apologized to the Sheriff, sounds like you can mosey around town,ha.

 

[-FROG-]

This Viper K dude seems funny. lol @ crack pipe comment. *subscribing to thread*
