<<< "2013 SRT Viper First Look" >>>

...at the 2012 New York Auto Show

The 2013 SRT Viper's 4.9 pounds per horsepower puts it just behind the Bugatti Veyron and Ferrari F12 and ahead of such performance stalwarts as the Lamborghini Aventador and Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. What's more, this engine has no turbocharger or supercharger, and those 600 lb-ft make this V10 the most torque-rich naturally aspirated production engine in the world.

Idk. This doesn't excite me at all. I was expecting to be blown away. But it just kind of leaves a sour look on my face.
The proportions are kind of weird to me.
From the front 3qt view, the backend looks high and fat and the hips look muscular.
But from the side and back, the rear end doesn't look big at all and looks sunken down.
The reverse Mohawk make me want to take back my suggestion for the one one the camaro to be more visible. Maybe if it had sharper edges.
The front end is just flat out ugly. Head lights look like something Mazda would do which looks ok but was just the first thing I thought looking at the shape. But overall, very cartoony and just seems like they are trying way too hard to impress 12 yr olds.
Maybe I need to see one in person.
The barn pics are cool though, mostly the barn. I'd love to park my camaro in there and take some pics.

Now the interior is a lot nicer and not a visual assault on my eyes like the exterior is.
Really like the seats and the "oh shit" handle for the passenger looks good.

love it. Looks more like a snake and more like the first gen GTS! perfect. The previous viper looked like a miata-viper in comparison.

Awesome. Many Alpha influenced design cues.

THAT is a man's car right there.

Very sexy! Can't wait to see the video reviews. I love the passenger "O $h!t" handle built in to the center stack!

Not for me, it just looks weird to me like they cut/pasted a bunch of different cars together. All disporportional (my opinion anyway).

Gotta love the 'Holy sh*t' handle for the passenger though....

I can think of 10 cars I would rather have then that, regardless of performance, etc.
