Um, no.

The new Viper is such a nice looking car, but it just can't compare to the original.

Also, is it just me or do those taillights look almost identical to the ones off of the original Viper.

It is a shared passion..check this out: https://www.rx8club.com/general-automotive-49/few-cars-spotted-d-fw-38914/

That car is sick but the orig. GTS Viper is so much better.

Those pics are sweet. so when is it going to come out?

i for one like it even more than the original gts coupe.

that must have been a fun day.

and those cars are lamorghini diablo (black one) and lotus esprit.

Anyone else think that the side on profile of the Viper resembles a heavily pumped out FD 7?

now that you mention it, it does look that way from the side.

I noticed that too. At first, I thought it was a re-skinned 1st gen. Viper. I guess all you can do is copy an already-good roof design. ;)

Compared to the original Viper GTS, that looks like a cheap kit car.

I like it as well, except for the black plastic cladding around the exhaust, that should just be metal. A coworker has a red viper, so I get to see it fairly often.

yeah i was gonna say that judging by the profile they made the Viper look like a Viper again. that's a good thing, it's just too bad they can't make it fast enough for the price.

This is all I've got :rolleyes:

Rear brakes
 

..I've got a question for all of you gee-wee mechanical/performance savvy RX8-Club members (could I've made that any longer...?)
Look at the attachment...and tell me what you see there. Then please tell me WHY?

The Viper uses Brembo rotors? :confused:

From what I can gather...it has 2 sets of calipers. Why? that's my question. The pads on the small one are Brembos, the other one: who knows.

Main brakes and parking brakes
The new viper has a trunk, whereas the old one was a liftglass hatchback.

i still like the other body style but thier still badass

Thatsa disgusting color for a viper. Someonein my building used to have a gray one w/purple body work on the doors. Itwas really sweet looking. This isjust ugly though

What about the mechanical specs for this car?

I liked the original Viper better... but I think it would look a lot better with a new paint job - it isn't 1964 any more.

The other caliper is for the parking (emergency) break, some high end luxury cars also have this.... (correct me if im wrong)

I don't think the specs are going to be too different from the Vert:

All in all, a very hard to improve package without going -even more- radical.

Would make sense: after running the thing like a maniac, the last thing you want is having those red hot rotors against recalcitrant pads cooling down. Oh, well..I don't know.
