New Viper Coupe Spotted!!!
Here is the link... http://vca2.viperclub.org/forums/sho...b=5&o=&fpart=1
"Alright...before you guys jump to conclusions, here is the breakdown. My buddy goes to school over at U of M, and every weekend he comes home on I-94. Because he's in that area he sees a lot of body cladded testing cars on his drives around the area.
So he pulls up on this car and he calls me up immediately. "Hey, you will not [******] believe this but I'm riding next to what looks like the new GTS!" He's a tuperware guy(vette driver) but he sure knows when he sees a viper.
He said it was incredibly wide, had some side pipes sticking out quite far from the rockers...few inches. Had a spoiler smaller than the competition coupe, and very deep vents behind the hood (and a split louver in the center of the hood). It looked much more production refined than the comp coupe in looks, but the body panels didn't all line up perfectly. And the car was caked with sensors on the exterior. It was bright viper red with NO cladding on it.
He said he paced it and finally the guy went off an exit ramp and gave it some go pedal....needless to say it sounded like a real pissed off v-10 and it had some get-up to it. Makes me think what dodge is thinking right now. "
Good News to Hear...

RE: New Viper Coupe Spotted!!!
Here is a good chance of what the new Coupe will look like... this is the non-legal 2004 Dodge Viper Competition Coupe, in which cost about $115,000 and can be order through Dodge for racing only... must have racing license.

RE: New Viper Coupe Spotted!!!
The word is from various insiders on a number of sights, we might just see the coupe model around 2007, when the all-new HEMI "VIPER" V-10 motor w/ 600+ horsepower appears. Could be a appearence like the 1996 Dodge Viper GTS Coupe was to the 1992-1996 Viper RT/10 was... a updated model w/ new interior, more power, and updated styling.
