2013 Dodge Viper is back

IMO best Viper to date. Beautiful interior. I like how they brought back some of the lines from the older GTS. And the front end is very Italian-esque.

I love the side view. Very curvaceous like the original. They lost a lot of that with the second generation.

And the interior... it looks like it's going to be an amazing step up in terms of design, materials, and fit and finish.

Some cars look good in photos and look even better in person (like the R8). Some cars look bad in photos, but look good in person. Other cars just look like sh1t in person and in photos

My only hope would be for massive depreciation so I can get a deal on a used one. Not likely to happen though

I'm hoping for something around the $60k range when it's time for me to get my next car.

Guys we still have to see how it drives.. The old vipers were a handful and not very refined. What good is all that power if you can't use it?

Actually, Vipers handle very well in the right hands. Problem was you put an inexperienced driver in a 500+hp car with no traction control and no ABS (older models) and then disaster strikes.
