Re: 2006 Viper Coupe-oh Dear God!

Viper just got a redesign for 2003 MY...i assume this is just a freshening? And it's still 500HP...

Oh nevermind...they are simply offering a coupe this year. Woop

Those power numbers are wrong. I am pretty sure that it is suppose to get a 50hp bump to 550, from what I heard.

It should look a lot like the previous gen Viper because that's where it came from.

Re: 2006 Viper Coupe-oh Dear God!

Will they actually release it? I bet its still going to be about $50k though.. around Vette territory..

Before the Chrysler 300C, I would have said that the Chrysler Firepower! didn't have a chance. Today, times have changed at DCX and I think the answer a definite "maybe." The price escalation of the C6 Corvette has also made a potential competitor a lot more viable. Chrysler wouldn't have considered producing a "Corvette competitor" if a loaded C6 coupe wasn't pushing $55,000!!!

Chrysler finally has the right engine, the right transmission, and they've also got the low-volume production capacity. (With the Prowler long gone and the Viper's sales sagging, Chrysler's got plenty of low-volume production capacity.) Only two developments are surefire Firepower! killers:

1. Skyrocketing sales of the new $85K Viper coupe could soak up all of that excess capacity. (It's not going to happen.)

2. GM could slash $5,000 from the MSRP of the C6, restoring the sub-$40K base Corvette and discouraging Daimler-Chrysler from authorizing the Firepower!(It's not going to happen.)

I recall reading the tail lights on the new coupe are from the GTS. And yeah, I can see some similarities to a fourth gen Camaro.
