It should be lowered just a bit. The rest is kick ass

a couple of other pics, even if they are a bit pointless :P I already made a topic on it on several other forums, so I am only posting the pictures not shown in 1mic's post

Yeah, the wheel / wheel arch gap looks big, but I've learned it can just be a trick on your eyes. Othewise, the only thing I don't like is small and no big thing, just the panel thingie that runs over the rear lights and down the back quarterpanels is kinda bulky looking.

The only reason why it might be a big problem, is because everyone else on the road will only be seeing that end of the car.

And I'd just like to say, that color combo is my favorite on Vipers, and seeing it on a coupe-ified SRT-10, I'm. So. Happy. :P

Well... :P
It should be red, and without those silly white stripes... other than that, kicks ass. :wink:

Estimates are that it will go from 0-60 mph in 3.7-3.8 seconds. The quarter mile will likely be around 11.5-11.6. And the top speed could be over 200mph. Also, a power bump is likely to accure in 2006. Putting it even further ahead of its rivals. The best is yet to come.

That last post was confusing.

Anyways, this is pretty damn cool. I would have liked to seen it in black though. I always thought the coupe version of this car would look like the carbon concept and less like the competition coupe.

Would you like to see a black version, or a version made out of Carbon fibre??
I'll make one on photoshop for fun if you like :P

I'll try to make one in my favorite paint job for Vipers. Black with yellow stripes. Does anyone know where I can an idividual three-quarter view of it.

No I mean black with yellow. It's not a production paint job but I've drawn many with it.
