Why would anyone not want an RT/10?

[Mike 99ACR]

I think the reason most women might like the RT10 is because its more of a womens kind of car. If you notice most women are driving convertibles especially Red ones. If I was buying for my wife thats what I would get her but since I'm not, its GTS all the way for me. If I did get a RT10 it would have to be Black or Silver.

 

[malcoll]

If you've already got a GTS, then I cant think of any reason why not to get an R/T also (perhaps as your ****** car)

LOL I got my "****** car" first. It's hard to tell which one's my ****** car now.

That's not such a hard call!

Gee Mike, I wonder who that was directed towards. LOL


Lance, thanks for pic and the clarification.

Sorry Chuck I just could not resist. See ya at Sebring

Not to stir up a little controversy but ...

- the RT/10 allows for "on-demand posing opportunities" unavailable in a GTS
- the RT/10 provides a wind-in-the hair experience not available in a GTS (unless our coupe brothers roll down the windows)
- the RT/10 possess a true exotic look (low and wide) typical of an Italian classic
- the RT/10 is preferred by 9 out of 10 good looking women
- did I mention that most good looking women prefer the RT/10?



God bless the original Dodge Viper design!

For all those reasons and more, it's clear the RT/10 is the better choice

 

[Russ M]

RT slower?

For those that think that, exactly in what category besides top speed is the RT slower than a GTS?

 

[Snake Bitten]

I would agree, 9 outa 10 ***** droppers prefer the roadster!

the RT is lighter especially w/ no top on/or in trunk.

 

[Cobra4B]

Because being 6'4" I just can't fit in the thing... need to drive a GTS for a better fit.

 

[King RT10]

Hey lets face it, some Viper owners should not be on display in an open RT10.(I have been to a few viper meetings) It would bring down the Viper value for all of us.
In fact the dealer should throw in free window tint and a valet shirt for those who dont fit the image but insist on buying a RT10.

 

[Cobra4B]

HAHA

 

[garolittle]

Needless to say, RT/10 owners need the open cockpit to show off their good looks. Of course I am not suggesting that women think GTS owners are unattractive ... well ... nevermind.

 

[Roadkill]

The only benefit i see that has made me seriously consider a GTS is that it would be a better foul weather car. I think the styling looks from the back half of the car goes to the rt/10 hands down. It's interesting this post came up as i was presenting my arguements towards getting a GTS to some friends due to our 100+ inches of rainfall a year. The responses were interesting in that comments ranged that the car looked "less classy" to "much more common looking" with a hatch to downright dislike of the tail end. I personally think the GTS is a beatiful vehicle but the analogy of two sisters.. the RT/10 definitely got the looks of the family.

Do you see any RT/10s on the race track???

Yes, or do you mean professionally?

 

[SNKEBIT]

I love my gen.1 rt/10,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but that third brake-light on the GTS........... .........sorry,,,,
,,,, I have to go have a personal moment.

 

[Andrew/USPWR]

GTS Steel Gray all the way.

Except no substitute


2000 GTS Steel Grey
Six piston Baer claws up front, front brakes in back
Quaife Differential, GKH half shafts, alloy fly wheel,
short throw shifter, polished intakes, K&N air filters, Optima battery,

Is it me, or does the RT look wider and lower? I guess I had the opportunity to pick up a GTS to compliment my RT, but I couldn't stand not being able to ride *******. Picked up a second RT

 

[GR8_ASP]

The RT/10 does look wider and lower.

And yes, there are RT/10's that compete in Viper Days, etc. Both cars need a roll bar and the RT/10 with a roof does the trick.

 

[Gerald]

anyone that has a GTS usually already had an RT/10 . Kind of like us Viper owners used to drive vettes. GTS are just upgrades and better all around. If you want an RT/10 go buy a T Top vette.

hahahahah

 

[garolittle]

A GTS is like Britney Spears with a little more clothing. It still looks good but there is nothing like the top-less ****** ... uh ... I mean version.

 

[GR8_ASP]

Or, on second thought, we may just like a roadster or convertible better. Pretty sure I could have afforded a GTS or 2

You just have the one Viper, right Gerald?

 

[Gerald]

hmmm, perhaps I should buy another one Chuck? I'm thinking perhaps a comp coupe or two.. wanna help me pick the color?

I once heard the RT/10 referred to a "lunch sandwich" when viewed from the back.

When I asked *** that meant, this fella said - "look at it...it looks like a sandwich that ya packed for lunch and accidently sat on first."

I can't for the life of me look at at asss end of an RT without thinking about that.

Oh, and the 3rd brake light on the GTS *is* killer.....

 

[VENM8R]

Hmmm, sandwich? Maybe someone can post a picture of its posterior, I can't visualize it.
I always wanted an RT/10 until the coupe came out. From then on, I only wanted the coupe. The RT/10 will remembered as the one that started it all though.

 

[garolittle]

Dang! I almost had a "3-pager" but this thread appears to be nearly dead. Someone say something about the Vipair System or about a 20 minute test drive.

 

[tim721]

Anyone on here recently have a horrible 20 minute test drive?? LOL

 

[tim721]

on a serious note though...I wouldnt trade the features & fun of a RT over a GTS...

I must say, the one thing that bothers me about the RT is the ragtop. I wish they put a little more effort into it. Clearly an after-thought, and truly not meant to be worn as it is a roadster, but sometimes it needs to be thrown on. It just feels crappy to me. For such an exotic car, you'd think it would be a little nicer.

The hardtop, on the other hand, doesnt do it for me either. Looks like a hat from the back.

No better viper scenario than top off & side pipes ringin' in your ears!
