The 1994 Viper...Still look legandary or look old?

[cujo]

Well with spring around the corner and since my Trans Am sold, it is time to start considering a new toy. I have always liked the look of the older Viper (one with sidepipes) but is it looking old? I look at the 96 Vettes and they look real old now. But to me, the Viper is different..maybe because it is so exotic, has 480 ft-lb, stripped interior and those meaty 335s in the back.

a bit outdated. cool car still. just the old styles look kinda unaggressive compared to the new ones

Viper...i can throw a rock and hit a vette get a viper.

Never was a fan of them. They always looked goofy to me. I'm not sure how much of a bitch it would be to get parts for it either.

But to answer to question:

I don't think they look old because they are rare, and when you see one you think "It's a viper" instead of "It's an old viper".

CCM has a point. a viper is a viper. I just think that the old ones are kinda 'bubbly" looking

[nhraformula]

seeing a viper is a rare event.
old or new, both are head turners

I really like the 1st Gen myself.

I say go for it after checking the recalls/major problems to look for.

[ss~zoso~ss]

arent the windows plastic for the verts?

[cujo]

I think...They pop/snap on the outside the car I believe.

old school Viper, before they changed to the current body style the older look the best, esp in the GTS form. i like the smooth curves, not the hard angles/wedges. i never saw the reason to redesign it to make it look like an s2000 from the front and a vette from the side...

Still legendary, 96 GTS ftw!

Except for the rims I like the 1st gens. Beware of a headgaskets on the 1st gens. I guy at my work has one and said the stock headgaskets suck on 1st gens are known for blowing out and yes the side windows snap in on his vert.

I like the viper look too, that was my dream car until I met the TA and thought hey, nice curves and look, plus mod it and costs 1/3 of a viper.
but yeah the c5 z06 and the older viper look are really cool too.

[joerockhead]

The Yiper is a car that will always stand out, will always look different then the other's.
I have liked it from the start, and will always like it.

Hell, I still think the Lamborgini Countach is one of the coolest look cars ever built.

This dude has a couple of the older style as well as newer style vipers, some twin turbo. Its pretty cool to look at. I wish I had the kind of cash this guy does.

By the way, props for being able to buy a viper at 20. Do you know what the insurance is gonna be like?

[djvaly]
