Headlight/taillight refresh, possibly minor changes to the front clip/grill, new mirrors?
What kind of changes do you expect to see on the 2015 Viper?

I'm not sure where all the negativity about this car comes from. I'll give you I didn't buy an early 13 and there may have been teething pains,but the 14 I have is not comparable to any of the previous Vipers.There is no area of measurement where this car is not far superior to all previous Generations!(can't speak to its ability on the track) If your driving a gen2 and are delusional enough to believe your car is superior in any way, I would tell you it's time for shock therapy. If you say you prefer the body on another Gen I'll allow it. Even if your wrong
But I will pull my gen 5 next to your pristine gen 1,2,3,4, and you will be embarrassed with the difference in build quality, paint quality and overall finish. I've owned a genII and IV and neither of those cars comes close to this car. As far as long term value these cars are likely to hold their value like all previous gens. If you paid 150k it would seem there has been a market correction and your likely to loose some money but these GTS's going for 100k are money in the bank.
Thankfully I'm not opinionated or biased so this should be the final word on the GenV
I gotta go drive!

The SRT trim should be the track version of the Viper
The GTS trim should be the "Turbo S" forced induction version of the Viper

Didn't mean to poke you specifically, it's a generality thing, also didn't mean to suggest you're a troll by any means, I've had a 2,3, and 4 gen but not gen5 .. yet. Just gets a little edgy in this particular forum sometimes.
Man, I checked out the alley, haven't been there in a while, seems more like the viper haters club from posts I was reading. I guess I just don't get it lately, things seem so negative. Viper forums were like the stang forums, so brotherly & passionate about all gens of the car. Lately in our circles it seems we've lost something. Considering how competitive the gen5 truly is it's hard to figure why. Hec if I could it my darned head in it, I'd e shopping more diligently for one. lol I'm hoping for a vert for the sake of my XL melon head.

Haters gonna hate. Sad that Viper owners often do the hating on newer generations on this site. Also, if we sat around and waited for "the next best thing" to happen, then we'd never buy anything. Every car gets improved a little, for each model year. This isn't specific to the Viper. I fully expect newer models to be better than my '13. But, I don't sit around and wait. I get out there and LIVE. Who says I can't buy something newer later on? Nobody.

Back on topic: Maybe the snake gets those Trofeo's finally? Would love to see this along with a rematch with the AMG Black, ZR1 etc.
Not to beat a dead horse, but after reading this post about trading in my first love, I have to say it hit a nerve with me, and may be others to. I am in the same boat as Free2go is, boy I am attached to my 99 GTS, even if I hit the lottery I would feel sick to off my 99, we are all big kids proud of there toys, I will speak for my self, I am jealous, envious and anything else you can think of , the people who have the new GenV , I know my 99 is a slow gokart next to a GenV which is better in every way, but its human nature and the little kid in us to make up stuff why we do not want the new Viper, in the end we are all Viper fans, so its like what my Dad used to tell me, when you are at the top people will talk, when they stop talking thats when to worry. Anyway I am very envious in a good way to all you GenV owners.
Me to, that race was B.S there is no way the AMG Black is faster, so much depends on who is driving, and a goof ball was driving the Viper.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of the Gens, I just get worked up when the Gen5 is ran down by the uninformed!
I will tell you that when they loaded my 2001 Sapphire Gts in the trailer after receiving my 08 ACR there was a bit of a sick feeling. After driving the ACR I felt pretty good though
