I think I'm in the minority, but I like the 03+ vipers over the older ones (yes, looks wise). I like 08+ ones even better.

GTS vipers still look pretty good to me, but the first generation vipers to me have not aged well.

Really? I think it's aged quite well.

I prefer the 08+ coupes the most. SO sexy and menacing.

And they come in some awesome colors.

I think Dodge did a great job of making the Viper look better as the years went by. I just think this new one breaks that trend.

we don't have any vipers rolling off the lines yet so I think we will have a little more time before we can pass judgment on the new looks

Then you probably would like the 06 coupes too. Same body, just a different hood. The 08+ hood is a direct bolt-on. Here is my '06 with the '08 hood. Blue with white stripes was an '06-only color, first 200 coupes built.

BTW. What happened to the white wheels you had? I thought those looked perfect.

You are 100% correct, for some reason i thought they only came 08 and up but that was wrong lol

Beautiful car. Best looking vipers ever IMO.

Yes, the '06 "First Edition" coupes had the same GTS blue with stone white stripes as the original GTS did in '96. I've had about 4 sets of wheels on this car, but I like these HRE's the best. The white CCW's looked cool, but were a bitch to keep clean. They looked brown after a few miles thanks to brake dust.
