The new Viper has a definite cost-reduced feel to it. Cheaper body, cheaper intake manifold... The interior looks gimmicky. Cup holder? Non-functional trim ring around the gear shift? Even the new "Fang" symbol looks cheap. The designers had a field day and ruined an icon.
Thumbs down.

What really ****** me off is that so many people are buying the new car to make a buck! Knowing that there are limited coupons, they will buy the car and try to unload it.
DC is laughing at us thinking we don't know what we are talking about. "We sold every car in just a few days, these guys are nuts thinking no one likes it".
This also has hurt the current prices with people unloading their current cars to buy the new ****.
I too say learn from others. Porsche produced the 901.....later being forced to call it the 911 and kept it basically the same for a LONG time. If the car is popular, don't change it. I like the "circus side show", "radical" look of the current car. That is why I bought it. I am so ********** at DC when it comes time for a new ride, I will buy the old body style or go back to Ferrari.
I HATE the new car, thumbs DOWN!

SRT10:
I am well aware of the current Certificate situation, however, I persoanlly know of MANY, MANY, people who don't like the car and have certs for a profit only. I also can only poll those on this Board & I'm sure DC will make the proper allowences. I really appreciate your contribution though. Thanks for voting.
With your voice the poll stands at 38-3 against the SRT-10.
Tony had an overall
but he did say he was biased & too hard to pick.
Thanks for contributing Tony! You're truly one of the guys!

Saw the SRT-10 in person, it's just plain UGLY, very common looking kinda like a Sebring with flairs. Part of the excitement of having an exotic sports car is the looks. The current Viper has an extremely exotic look. I dont car how well the SRT-10 performs its still ugly.

No emotion. I still remember when I first saw the current GTS prototype in 1994. I had to have one! Well, 7 years later I bought that '96 GTS. Wow! Every other car seemed to pale in comparison. Now most of the people I talk to say they have ruined the Viper. They love 500/500 and all that great techincal stuff but how would you like to drive a car that will be mistaken for a freakin honda.

I like the SRT/10. I don't like it enough to buy one. Now, that decision is strictly based on the looks. Who knows what will happen after I drive one.
I love my GTS, I would have paid more to have one. It is an infatuation.

To be exotic is a total package. I'm sure the new engine has great potential but it did not turn my head.

The SRT-10 has some real performance improvements which are on target. It has sharp, aggressive styling.........until you compare it to the original. Regretfully, Thumbs down.
The appeal of the Gen 1 and Gen 2 cars (especially the GTS for me) are without equal.

King, I appriciate your honesty but I'd just like to say that if you know MANY MANY people selling their cars for PROFIT, that should tell you that there is a market out there willing to pay OVER MSRP to have the car. DC wants a market and by your own admission (cert owners selling for profit) Dc has it. Thanks for giving me 1 minuite of your time.

King,
You already know my vote! I like it.
As for your poll, I just wanted to say it's a real breath of fresh air to see someone doing something constructive. If I were you, I would forward this thread to maybe Steve F or something to make sure the folks at DC see it (I'm sure they already are seeing it though). This poll is a limited audience (Viper owners), so I hope folks don't extrapolate these results to say "everyone hates it!", but it's very valuable info for DC to see what the reaction from current owners is.

Trey, your original comment was
"It's simple. You either like it or you don't. You'd either buy it or you won't."
That is a two part question. Part 1: I like it. Part 2: No I am not buying one as of right now.
Not trying to be difficult, just honest. I like a lot of cars but not enough to buy them. I have to love a car to clear the cash from my wallet. If you are going strictly by "You'd either buy it or you won't" The answer is I won't. Thumbs down.
Thanks for the fun poll. I was curious how people felt about the car also.

If the Corvette is America's sports car, then the Viper was America's exotic. Not anymore. Too many design equities left on the table for me. I appreciate any performance improvements that the SRT might offer. But the current car is no dog. And all the food groups need to be represented before I ante up. No thanks.
