I think it is aswome. I downloaded the video on it about 3 hours ago and have watched it about 30 times. The only thing I dont like is that it has a V-8 instead of the V-10 but it is larger and more powerful so thats ok. It made me so happy when I found that out causse the viper is my favorite car and i am going to the auto show on saturday------------------

That car is cool and looks good...

That brings American supercars to compete Europeans supercars with an aggression

Oh heck yeah! The GTSR concept's design cues didn't make the production Viper ugly! THANK YOU! And a V8 pushing 500hp? Imagine if they had stuck with the V10 and modified THAT?! Now all we need is the 2003 Viper GTS! Hold our fingers till next year!------------------

So parts of the GTS-R design really did make it into production. I love it. If it had more valves though, the power would be pushing into the stratosphere. Imagine if Honda had a go at 8.3 litres! In relation to an S2000, it would put out in the region of 730kW(979hp).
Still wildly powerful though.

In terms of styling, I still prefer the current one. But 500/500/500, goooooooood.
If only they keep the V10 and look more like the GTSR concept.IP: Logged |

I really like the look of the new Viper. Pretty awesome engine. Its about the best American competitor to the European super cars out there. Its too bad that I moved a way from detroit couple years ago.------------------

My Prelude may not be the Koening Modena or Callaway C-12 I want it to be, but I'll live with it until I get too much money. IP: Logged |

It will be a monster for sure and it looks very aggressive, but I prefer the styling of the old Viper.------------------

I've just checked the Dodge website and yes, it is a a V10.  This can't be wrong. The preliminary specs of the car are also there! IP: Logged |
