I like it. I have always like the Viper coupes though.

 

Don't like it. Looks too much like the last one. Not that the last one looked bad, but why redesign it if it won't look any different?

I thought the GTS concept from 2 yrs ago had a better roofline. I think that's the problem. They just stuck the old greenhouse on the new car and so it looks goofy.

Saw it in this month's C&D... looks great to me... with the hardtop and roof- stripes, it's way better looking than the other non FRC version which looks too much like a HondaS2000. Can't wait for an 05 Z06 vs 05 Viper SRT10 matchup .

 

Looks badass. The regular Viper is OK (the old one looked better), but in coupe form with those 5 spoke wheels, I'm digging it. I'm glad it looks much like the old one (roof and rear end). The "racing" coupe that debuted around the same time as the production roadster, the coupe with the long rear end and different roof, looks totally goofy compared to this curvy production coupe.

I'd still take a new Z06, of course, but the Viper coupe is freaking sweet.

 

Looks kinda goofy with the old-style roof on the new styled car.

Either way it still looks good.

 

Like it even though it looks alot like the 97,98,99 etc

 

No longer "GTS," but simply coupe. They no longer particpate in GTS class racing.

 

Did they jack those tail lights from a 4th Gen Camaro?

 

WOW

If I were rich I don't think I could decide between the Viper coupe or the new Z06. I like how the Viper is purpose built for speed only. No fluff like navigation, sound deading, refinement, Onstar, XM radio, Bose speakers, HUD, electrolumnicent gauges, keyless ignition, door buttons , or other such junk found on the new Vette.

 

While looking at Viper specs on Dodge's website, it is interesting to note that there is an inside emergency trunk release. I want to know how anybody would fit into the Viper's trunk. That gave me a good laugh.

 

Maybe it's for when you accidentally lock Fido in the trunk.

 

And yet, the roomier, quieter, more refined Corvette still manages to weigh about 200 to 250 lbs less than the Viper.

I do agree that it would be cool if one could get a decontented Z06 (they already reduced some of the sound deadener vs. the regular C6) if one really wanted to go racing. Of course, not everything you mentioned there adds weight. Navigation system? How much heavier is that than a same-sized CD player/changer? Keyless ignition? Hell, that probably SAVES some weight. And besides, even though a decent percentage of Z06 owners will actually take their cars to the track, many of those guys (and all of the non-track going owners) still want the luxuries and features available on other cars in the price range. Look how much the 911s weigh now (once noted for their compactness and light weight vs. competing sports cars). Look how much the ultra-exotic carbon fiber and aluminum megabuck cars (Enzo, Carrera GT, Ford GT, Gallardo, F430) weigh. The Vette is as light or lighter than all. Safety features and the desire for luxury have pushed the weight of cars up over the years. In that light, a 3130 lb Z06 is damned impressive.

 

I think the new z06 will eat it up...though both should be exciting cars
