Thread: 2013 dodge viper....what do you think about it ? :)

hey folks.....
so i saw the pics of the new dodge viper a few days ago....and damn that looks nice. and not only the exterior with all its carbon fibre details....but ...now sit down.....the americans have actually accomplished to make a nice interior. haha
no seriously....it looks really nice. To design the interior they teamed up with Sabelt ( they supply the seats, leather and fabric for ferrari and maserati ) and actually made something that is desirable.
they even had the outstanding idea to fit ABS brakes and EVEN traction control with a launch-, and track-mode....isnt that crazy and revolutionary ? haha

here is a link to the official SRT website with detailed pictures of the 2013 viper.

But what i like the most about the new viper.....no they have not downsized the engine to a supercharged v8 or something like that.....they stuck with the 8,4 liter v10.

the roof, bonnet and boot lid are made from carbon fibre. it has electronic suspension with different modes....comfort, sport and track

they still only offer it in manual transmission, witch is awesome !!

i am really thinking about preordering one this winter and stripping out my M3 for track use .

whats your opinion on the new viper ? let me know

cheers,

MAX

damn i new it would be somewhere here i searched for it but i couldn't find it.....but thats not what i wanted to know. i wanted to ask you guys what you think about buying one ? because i really like it. but i have never had an american car before.....just bmw's ...but since they went "eco" all of a sudden.... and are just building boring turbo engines that sound shitty....i thought maybe it's time for a change and try something new

I owned a 99 GTS, one of my favorite cars ever and I've owned everything. I loved the raw power of it and tracked it. I'd still own that car but the dealer wrecked it when it was in for service. That was the only downside, the dealers are used to working on Neons and dealing with people who buy them.

I need to see the new one, not sure about the front. Love the rest of the car!

So you're asking ffor approval to buy a Viper?

Dude, if you like it, buy it. Who cares what we think.

no I'm not asking for approval i just value the opinion of more experienced petrolheads

I'm first on the order list at my dealership. Can't wait. They say we should be able to place order early to mid summer.

what's the price on this thing? I'm assuming only a 6spd manual will be available?

Well, they say its more refined but still has monstrous power. The pics I've seen it looks great. I would certainly get one. I might do it. Who knows!

I want mine to have yellow wheels. Seriously.
