Interior looks great, exterior looks good, but not a whole lot different then last gen on the outside. Curious to see how well it runs.

Wow, new bar set for American interiors. I think the car is damn sexy!

I dunno. Still looks too much like a clown shoe. And if we've abandoned "Dodge," why still the Dodge cross grille? I expected something less awkward looking, I guess.

Here is another link of the new 2013 Viper for my fellow Z06 Owners to look at:

http://forums.viperclub.org/threads/...Release-Images

I gotta say, the car looks alot better than I thought it would! The initial photos of the front end were hideous! Glad to see Dodge did it the way they did. I wonder if it will sound any better though??

The overall package looks pretty nice. You can surely see the Italian (Fiat/Ferrari) influence.

Due to the Euro look, I'm not so sure the twin stripes will look as nice, as it did on the previous generation Vipers...

Provided the new Viper maintains the cumbersome side sills, I'll pass.
The sills really annoyed me. It made ingress/egress just too damn difficult. Outside of this annoyance, its a fine machine.

Ben, I agree 100% wth you about those side sills! The older model Vipers that had them were very HOT too! Especially in the heat of the summer. And as I said previously, I have never cared for the exhaust sound of the Viper!

I like it. I hope it motivates some z06/zr1 owners to mod their cars instead of being afraid to do anything. Stock is so boring.

To heck with the car. Weren't we forced to give several tens of BILLIONS of our tax dollars to Chrysler that is owned by FIAT?

Don't forget the over ~$40 billion we gave to GM before they filed for bankruptcy that was never repaid. What's your point, exactly?

Well, when you consider the basic front-end design of the Viper was around before the C6 it makes you wonder who was inspired by whom, huh?

OK guys..lets try to keep politics out of this CAR forum because no one cares about your political leanings.
