Maybe they'll bring back the tv show. Speaking of which, now I know where they got the idea for the 370z fangs came from,lolz.

haha. with that much power, you can probably drive it like an automatic (ie shift into 3rd and drive without changing gears

A lot of the guys over in the Viper forums are disappointed because the new Gen V ONLY has 640hp.... WTF

yeah fueling the stereotypes a bit

it will be a low 3 sec 0-60 car and maybe a 10.9 1/4 mile with traps over 130... what more do you want?

lightened up, from what I hear. That power is supposed to be more effective.

Well I guess because the new GT500 has 650hp. The new Viper is estimated to weigh in around 33xx lbs, 5.15 lbs/hp... sounds good to me! Not to mention forged internals!

But the views from the front…..I just think it's strange. I don't like the nose at all. I'm sure it's better in real life, but I'll wait to make that call when I see one. I think it's bad arse, but the front, ugh, me no likey.

This nose is a big WIIIIDDDDDEEEEE YIKES!!!!

I thought I read somewhere that there is a DCT coming for it in later years?

I don't really like the look of it from the front, but it looks good from all other angles. I especially love the interior.

I think this car is going to look stunning in person.

speedfreek · 04-05-2012, 09:16 AM

The viper has always been wide. They barely fit in their lanes on the road let alone a parking spot. Gotta go wide to cram those big meats in the rear.

I feel like it will look better in person than in pics.

I feel like many of today's performance cars aren't always photogenic.

I didn't like the Porsche Panamera or Ferrari California from photos, but I liked them more in person, where the curves and lines could be better appreciated.

I do enjoy how it has an 8.4 L V10... lol
