That's exactly what I was just thinking. That seems like a very informed post.

didn't know ralphy was stepped aside! Let's hope there will be no worst circus marketing.
And I hope they don't change the specs since my 13

I hope there is a refresh for 2016 and beyond. Different front splitter, fog lights return, different rear splitter. Better color options than white/red/black. C'mon Dodge, give us something to drool about!!!!

Maybe a clear splitter like the one on the c7z for better rear visibility:

1. That isn't a splitter
2. The TA's spoiler has a notch in it for visibility...are you suggesting that Dodge tack on a tacky looking clear piece to compete with something that looks like that?
3. If you want it to look more like a C7Z, maybe buy one? IMO, that's the worst angle on a C7, and I'm glad a Viper looks nothing like it.

I think it looks pretty cool. It won't age well but today it's a very aggressive and "in style" look and I think it works. Doesn't hold a candle to the Viper looks for me, but it's still cool looking...for now.

One of the things I like about the Viper's design is that it doesn't reflect "now" styling...it's an original. I don't see bits of other cars in it, just the purity of design and passion that's shared with some of the exotic and great driver's cars of the past.

**Dman** · 03-31-2015

Did someone really just ask for more colors?? We have 8,000 paint colors to choose from, if we only had 8,007, then this car would be something special. Ugh.

I'm one of those guys who does think the new C7 design is an improvement over the C6 in the looks department, although not apparently in the performance department, but I wouldn't want to see anything from the C7 on the Viper, ever. It'd be like taking a styling cue from the Mustang to the viper, ugh again.

It would be nice to have a targa option, but they should bring either the targa or the ACR, whichever will give some extra wind in the sails. I kind of think that would be the targa, it would be "exciting" for the general population & folks waiting for one. I only say that since it's unlikely we'll see more power, and the TA 2.0 is expected to post some new & improved track times, so we'll have boost in the press .... as long as the one they send to MotorTrend doesn't have the wing fly off or something. Ugh thrice.

Serpent: the only good point u made is the fog lights, lol.

The picture was more of a reference of what I was talking about, see-through splitter, not the entire splitter but portions of it.
I also don't like the c7z or that angle of pic, its just what I found.

Also, these 8,000 colors to choose from, where are they? Seems the only way to order is by going to a dealership, but do they have color examples you can choose from? I'm just skeptical as hell since they promised a 1 for 1 program, yet you cant even build one off of their website.

Targa would be great.

Voucher Boy

**ViperGeorge** · 03-31-2015

Now that I'm trading my 09 ACR on a 15 TA 2.0 I am certain they will announce a Gen 5 ACR two days after my TA is delivered to me.

I second that! Isn't that the way it always goes!!!! LOL!!!!!
At least you won't loose $100K on trade in like some of the European Exotics, when you trade it in this fall for the Gen V ACR!!!!!

**cashcorn** · 03-31-2015

SUPERCHARGED TARGA.. mmmmm.. Maybe a voucher trade-in.

Just curious, what dealership did you buy from? Woodhouse?

Yes, they have my ACR already but the TA is not here yet. I believe they may have sold my old ACR already.

**Coloviper** · 03-31-2015

Will not go route of C07 and thankful. C07 is a disaster exercise in rip off styling. Just don't do it Dodge.

Targa, ACR, a bit more power and small tweaks, that is all it needs.

C07 will be lost to time quickly. I just can't see a car guy that loves it. It is anti-style. Hate is a strong word but I absolutely hate the look, would take a C06 ZR1 over it in a heartbeat.
