I was over in New Orleans area yesterday and spotted these Vipers in parking lot of hotel near airport... Took a few pics... There were three 2003 Vipers (Silver, Red, Gray) & one RT10 (not sure what year but gray). In person the Silver was the Cat's Meow...

Nice pictures. We would like to add one of these to our collection but I really think a candy apple red kat would wet my whistle.

Looks like they're split. Not tied to a decision by ownership, I think I like the new style better.

Andy, yes......those are corporate cars. Those M-tags I mentioned above are Manufacturer tags....

Personally, I've seen the 2003 at the plant. It's a beautiful vehicle, but it's too European-looking for me! I like the big, bad a$$ look of the original Viper roadster. JMO

I'm with you CJ, it looks too tame. Not as wild and exotic as the originals.

Now that's what a Viper should look like!!!
