Thomas MackeyApr 05, 2012 Can't wait to see this up against the compuware Vettes.
Description: Now it's time to get this new Viper on the race track. Fortunately, Gilles and crew came prepared, as the newly unveiled GTS-R clearly shows. This non-street legal and competition-ready Viper wil...Add Comments0
Nick SteigerApr 07, 2012 Traction control in a viper? Seriously they gave the car the name Viper for a reason. It is supposed to be a monster that seems it wants to kill you.
Drew StorrustenApr 06, 2012 Out, they're slowly Gona start looking more and more alike.
Drew StorrustenApr 06, 2012 Really, I mean it's starting to show with every company just how much a new car can look like another companies car. Look at the new Subaru what was it BRZ? People say it looks close to was the Lexus? Either way, with how these new cars are coming
quadrophineApr 05, 2012 the important lines are similar to the gts side profile is almost identical. its curvy instead of angular. even the way the rear window slopes into its ass... I still think ill never get over the gts, but she's a good replacement
Vincent ButlerApr 05, 2012 Honestly I don't like it, 2 much going on IMO. I prefer the last model.
Ben ArendsApr 05, 2012 @alex- ya man I think it looks hella good. And I'm very happy to see the viper go back to its roots- as the most recent generation looked a little too bland (minus the club racing versions).
Patrick JosephApr 05, 2012 Talk about a great car. It doesn't get much better than this.
Alex ArvanitisApr 05, 2012 @ Ben, of course it looks like a 96-02 gts in the same way a 991 draws similarities from a 996 and 997, it's evolutionary and no one is denying that.
What we are saying is its a bad ass evolutionary step from the 96-02 gts rather than all new.
Isaac RezkallaApr 05, 2012 The only think different os the head light but if you put it up to a 99 gts then you could only see little differences from the doors back
Jeremy SiebertApr 05, 2012 @Ben: they say it looks nothing like the previous Vipers, but several manage to think it looks like an Aston Martin....
Ben ArendsApr 05, 2012 What's with people not thinking this looks even related to the old viper? Have these people never seen a Viper GTS?
John SerelyApr 05, 2012 I'd take the viper over a zr1 or GTR, its a great looking car. I can't wait to read some road tests with this new viper
Alex ArvanitisApr 05, 2012 It's stylistically similar to a 96-02 gts but altogether wider, lower, smoother, and much more aggressive. This is also the entry model. Imagine what an acr will look like...
For comparison a 599 looks tame but the 599 gto is pure sex
Teddy MacDonellApr 05, 2012 this has impossibly good looks, and I can only imagine that it will look 10x better in person
Jennings RengelApr 05, 2012 The old one looked good but this one blows it away. Awesome.
Pompey PaulApr 05, 2012 If u put the original viper next to the new lm version then it would look like they r not even related
Description: Power will come from the same 8.4-liter V10, which produces a total of 640hp at 6150 rpm and 600lb-ft of torque at 4950. Final performance stats and specific changes aren't available just yet, bu...Add Comments7
Alex ArvanitisApr 08, 2012 Peak power is at 6200rpms. :read:
Torque peaks at 4900rpms which is about perfect because torque and hp cross at 5252 rpms.
Literally this motor makes 600hp from 4900rpms until 6200 rpms peaking at 650 advertised hp. I gaurantee it's underrated.
Thomas MackeyApr 06, 2012 Red line is 7/8k. Big displacement is the reason for the power coming so soon in rpm's.
Quinn ConnerApr 06, 2012 Just guessing at the redline since peak power and torque come at 4975, and we all know the redline is soon to follow that peak power.
Fabian PioroApr 06, 2012 Prob cuz 8.3l is more of a tractor motor then high rev f1
Barry Boo WilsonApr 06, 2012 Huh? 5k redline where are you seeing that? Even if it wouldn't hurt my feelings to get over 600hp in under 5k lol.
Quinn ConnerApr 06, 2012 Haha. What about the 5k redline? That's sad.
Alex ArvanitisApr 05, 2012 640hp in 3300lbs with 600ft/lbs of torque, this is a great combo.
Description: Scott Atherton, President and CEO of the American Le Mans Series, also hailed the return of the Viper, stating that "I don't think it's possible to overstate the significance of the SRT...Add Comments0
Fabian PioroApr 06, 2012 Wow 8.3l and FI. That would demolish any road ability with gas how it is.
quadrophineApr 05, 2012 I keep coming back here to look at this picture. I'm glad they kinda came back to their gts roots
Alex ArvanitisApr 05, 2012 So sexy; love the lemans car.
I want a Hennessy venom 1250r srt viper with a le'mans inspired wide body kit. Wingless of course but I love the rest of the lines of the race car.
I know a 1250r doesn't exist yet but 8.3l plus twin snails: 1250whp
Isaac RezkallaApr 05, 2012 I cant wait for the acr to come out im already getting my money ready for it hopefully it will kill this in a good way
Dustin LabitApr 05, 2012 Can't wait to see what henessey is gonna do.
Nick SmithApr 05, 2012 I think the front is one of its better areas
Devin MortensonApr 05, 2012 I wish I could like this one but to me the new viper is ugly from the front(but nowhere else).
Rami WilsonApr 05, 2012 No way he looks just like Easy E in that photo! Except his, grill does look more like Snoop. I would so love to beat this car for 24 hours. They wouldn't evan need a second driver. I'd drive the whole Race.
Alex ArvanitisApr 05, 2012 Most le'mans cars look similar at this angle, it's because of the science and math that goes into engineering downforce and drag coefficient. Still though the viper is more curvaceous and menacing than the vette, even at this angle.
Jeremy SiebertApr 05, 2012 You look just like Snoop Dog in hat picture
Thomas MackeyApr 05, 2012 This looks nothing like a vette. looks like a viper.
Andrew HossannApr 05, 2012 Looks exactly like a corvette hear
Alex ArvanitisApr 05, 2012 In persone this thing must be incredible to witness; it's a car that I bet is not done 100% justice in pictures because its so wide and low that it's curvature gets hidden in 2d photos.
Can't wait to see this up against the compuware Vettes.
