The new coupe has been unveiled at the LA Motor Show...and as a die hard Viper fan I am in awe (look at that torque figure!!!). However, IMHO the styling is bordering on ugly, the new shape doesn't suit the coupe at all...the convertible looks ok though. I'll take the old shape any day thank you very much.

yeah it looks like they dropped the ball styling wise here.
Q: What did the mustang say to the viper? A: "Got wheelarch?" Not nice, dodge.

i think the styling is just fine....
maybe a little lowering job and some bigger rims might help. lol...those yanks (I can say that word now!) really dont want to leave there pushrods with minimal valves alone do they....hehe...but it works i guess

Its not to bad, still pretty much the same as the prev ones, nice big set of rims and a lowering will do just nice IMHO

I love Vipers, but the roof line and rear end look too much like the old model.
They should have made the roof lower (like on the '03 Competition Coupe below) |

i actually dont mind the looks of it, true it would look better on a set of bigger rims and crwaling on its belly but them power figures????
sure its got 711nm of tourque but its at 4200 rpm its only got max tourque for about 1800 rpm id prefer to spend my cheddar on a typhoon and get an aps stage II kit for it, gets as around the same amount of tourque but at around 2000 - 2500 rpm , now thats something to drool about hehehehehe
