New Viper Thoughts ..

Just watched the Debut.. I really like the interior.. The outside is a little under whelming..

For me, first reactions is always the tell all.

When I first saw the gen 2 GTS at Indy in 1996 I almost passed out.

Seeing the FGT for the first time was a close second.


When I watched the live show just now...I didn't fall out of my chair but it really did make a positive impression on me.

It really brings my passion for Ferrari and American muscle together in one really sweet package.

And a big HECK YEA on them racing it in American LeMans.

Bottom line, the car will sell as long as its not priced well above previous versions.

I agree Brian. I was surprised at the exterior. It's not bad, but it's not great.

I am surprised it was only 640/600. Obviously the car will be an animal, but I figured that given the hiatus and the fact there is a 740 hp Ferrari in the family they would come back with something wild at or near 700 hp.

Is there any way any one can make it sound better than its predecessors?

Looks are OK, interior is nice, but that old crappy exhaust note is a deal breaker.

Exactly my feeling. As I mentioned elsewhere an hour or so ago, the new car turned out to be pretty much what I'd expected...it isn't all that much different - VISUALLY - from the existing car. The grille area is much improved, IMO...and, like you said, the interior is faaaaaar better.

I LIKE it...but, I'm not really head-over-heels about it.

Maybe I need to see it in person???

Interior is definitely improved.
