Well, the old one did handle like shit. But, I don't think that matters much when it looks that good.

It may not be as fast, and it may not be as powerful, but it's way more badass then the new one. 1997 Viper GTS for me.

'97 for me too. It ain't like either of them are hurting for power, and the first body style looks better.
My friend's dad has a black 97 (I think) vert. It's wicked. He bought it shortly before Montana elimitated the "no speed limit" speed limit on the highway.
160+ mph on I-90, whohoo? :rockon:

Normally I'd choose the earlier car, as it;s just beautiful. But in the blue with white stripes, the new one is pretty good looking too, and better overall. So I chose that one. It's new GTS in blue with white stripes, old GTS in blue with white stripes, then every other Viper. lol!

The old one looks better, but the new one handles better...hard question to answer.

Quote from: Raza on May 01, 2007, 06:07:35 PMYeah, tough call. I think my gut call would be to take the new one. But the GTS will probably be collectible someday.

New one. It handles a little better, and isn't much tamer.

The old one looks better, thats it. There's a 98 RT/10 (not a GTS but very similar) at my work. It's the coolest, fastest piece of junk i've ever seen.

In most cases I'd take the new car, but this is an exception. The first gen Viper is one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
