Hmm right. This coming from an original GTS viper fan, loved its looks, captured my little kiddy mind when I was young. Wasn't the best car in the world, interior wasn't particularly special but the shear presence of the thing and the pace. I think the GTS looked fantastic...

That big 'pet elephant' syndrome.. you just would lol.

 

The new one I see what you mean... its the front...theres something not quite right, I keep wanting to say its the height of the front bumper, looks as if it comes down too much, but I dunno. Bonnets a bit over done. The side and especially from the rear 3/4 view looks fantastic...

Autoblog have got a couple of vids and it looks better in the flesh. In all I think its still brilliant, it apes the original GTS ...WHICH IS GREAT.... cos the last one the SRT... was crap. Its looks weren't nice at all and just..dull. Well Done Dodge for bring it back properly I say! And... (not to be a big 26 yr old kid or that... forza 4 are bringing it out on DLC... not touched it in ages. That might change... lol)

Noooo no they haven't... its the front bit only, just doesn't sit right somehow. I won't accept people saying the back and side of it is wrong.. cos its basically the same as the original lol (disgruntled viper fanlol) :rtfm::blush:

I'd like to see some proper photos, ones that aren't taken indoors with varying degrees of artificial lighting and possibly photoshoped. Does look good though :thumbs:

It's a fairly mean looking machine, especially when you ad into the equation those specs. But will probably still handle like a small boat.

 

Just a shame the seats look like mine in the Merc :blush:

Nice interior, but doesn't look as modern as most of the cars coming out now.

Wouldn't refuse one if you gave it to me, but just a tad over-designed in the body, too much roundy bits, if you know what I mean.

I agree about the seats I have these in blue on my old SLK.

No your not the only one! lol Its meant to sag in the middle! its apeing the original. And yes i do agree it seems overly designed. thats the thing nowadays (hes says being... 26) older cars looked great because there was hardly any mess and design in them, simple flowing lines. Now modern cars (especially if trying to copy an older one) have too much effort input, style overtime, angles here and there. They should have kept the rough design, proportions, but left out all the vents and fixed the front proportion a bit. I'm fine with the side and rear. ... I'm fighting a loosing battle. Good job I like Zeds... or use would all get it! :lol: lol

You can't polish a turd.

I don't think you can judge anything by a photo really :shrug: Its certainly a very aggressive stance - almost dragster-like I'm on the fence at the mo'

Oooof hang on I'm not on the fence anymore :cloud9:

8.4 V10 ...but they've added ESP :wacko:

Play to the end - although they haven't been allowed to drive it you at least get to hear it started :teeth:

That's my next car. In black, with red interior highlights.

 

I may have to grow a third testicle in order to have enough manliness to actually drive it, though.

I love it. Looks more euro/Ferrari than older models. How does a massive car like that with an 8.4litre V10. Weighless than a 350? It's American too!!

 

Amazing cars though.

And then sell it in order to fill the tank every 10 miles!!! 8.4 litre V10 is going to be thirsty to say the least, but my god would it be an experiance to drive!!
