Yeah it really is a viper, it looked like it had a cover on it.

matt is right..the roof is flat...in this world of body kits for everything, there is no way of saying that he didnt take a picture of a mustang with a viper front clip on it...ive seen several cobras with corvette front ends...

that being said, amanda and i saw a new GT500 on the road last MARCH...driving down I75....last summer, we were out riding around on a weekend, and we saw a new C6Z06.

that picture is awful, and shows us nothing, even if it is a viper...for all we know, it could easily be a cosmetically altered current viper.

Agreed- its super easy to put some foam and fake trim panels on any car to fake out spy photo folks (or the average joe with a camera). If it was in Detroit, its got to be a pretty safe bet that it was what you think it was- some sort of Viper workhorse. I'm heading up there in a couple of weeks myself- first time ever to Detroit..I'm hoping I see some cool stuff driving around. I'll definately have my camera!
Either way- I'm excited to see a new viper. The current one looks damn good, but I'm sure a reskin/redesign will look even better and no matter what- you can't complain about some more horsepower thrown in.

and the over all shape of the car...
If my knowledge stands correct, isn't the Fire Power sitting on the Viper platform? It's funny how some of you guys will jump all over, "oh, it's a Viper" but facts point out that the poor pictures taken are less likely to be one. Plus it's not even 2007 yet, we won't see the Viper until 08' ish. It should still be in the developing, not testing...in public.

Could be the Viper, could be the Firepower, could be just testing an engine...

Here is a quote from Allpar...
ORIGINAL: skidsmadawg96

I saw one like that on 12 mile and Orchard lake (in farmington hills) a few weeks back, but I was turning right, and he was flying past me (he kept going on 12...). It was red, with what appeared to be a raw, unfinished carbon fiber hood, with alot of holes, and it was raised much higher (the hood) than on a stock viper. other than that, it was the same as a stock viper...

couldnt hear the exhaust, cause I was on the phone

Another...
ORIGINAL: hemidakota

Again there is change to the intake runner that require 'a bigger bulge' in the hood --as I was told.

Modifications made on a stock Viper. There's so many options out there. He even said it was the, "same as a stock viper"

as I was told.
That's a third party response. For all the second party knew, it could have a super chager and the owner just wanted a better looking hood.
