they serve two different functions. scoop for air intake and vents to vent the radiator.

this thing looks amazing. definitely a little italian influence and the interior has an audi feel to it. very nice indeed

I think the styling is awesome. The only thing I would change is the exposed carbon fiber. Just a little played out at this point. Other then that some beautiful revisions to the entire car. Unmistakeably Viper.

My guess on performance:

we can compare it to the new lamborghini Aventador

Aventador

691 hp

509 tq


3472lbs

awd

auto


10.4 136mph


My guess is


2013 viper

640hp

600tq


3300lbs

rwd

manual


10.6 136mph

I dont like how busy the hood is, and the front wheels look tiny compared to the rears. But overall I like it. The Viper was my first ever favorite supercar and I'm so glad its back.

Speaking of back, that rear-end, the CF looks interesting, but the taillights look like the came straight from Maserati. I love that interior.

one of the last big power na engines, no new Ferraris look good in pictures, I suspect this new viper will look much better in real life too (not that I think this looks bad), I am excited to see this car, I have liked the viper since it came out, I had trouble purchasing one (which soured me on the car, personal mental problem I suppose) I really hope this is a great car that I would like to buy.

edit: do my incoherent bablings give away the fact that I have been drinking?

either way viper good, and more companies making more fantastic/foolish cars is a good thing!

I have to agree that they did a pretty outstanding job on the exterior design. Very handsome.

Here is a great article that breaks down each component on the car from brakes/oil/traction control. -- http://www.allpar.com/cars/viper/2012-dodge-viper.html

I am VERY excited to see the official numbers for this car.

I can respect the viper, but have never been a fan. This one is much meaner looking than the past gens, but still not a fan. I have to give props to Fiat to sticking to the original design concept.

Thats not surprising. The last Viper before the break was around $80-90k.

photos definitely don't do it justice and looks much better in the video.the interior looks much better then the previous. But does anyone think the front brakes look a tad bit small for a car that big?
