Well guys help me out here........

Should I sell the GTS or not???????

Its a great car but would I be more suited to an SRT10??

At Hockenheim I was most impressed by the track performance of the SRT10, and I was just watching.

What do you think then, raise 45K by selling V10 boy and put it towards an SRT10 or keep it as the family treasure it is?????

If it's red and has stripes i could understand...

I can see the GTS being more of a treasure...
But then saying that now your 50!!! it might be easyer to drive

wait 18 months for the coupe..... the word is it will have a HEMI in it !

got in a few opposite lock thrashed laps around the autocross, it seemed quite nimble and handled confidently, the ABS/brakes work very well when jumping on the middle pedal. It has its good points,
but the looks and lines of the roadster spoils it for me, each to there own. On the banking at the Speedway really didnt notice that much as I was trying not to
crash

Woodhouse are already taking orders and have x18 $2000 deposits already !

The more I see the SRT/10 the more I like it. The more I see pictures of the coupe version, the less I like it.

I've only seen an SRT/10 once in the flesh, but it did look good. You'd also be one of *very* few in the country so there's huge pose value

Would you regret selling the GTS if the SRT/10 wasn't all you expected? Or would you hold out for the Coupe in a year or too and move on?

Give someone else the pleasure of your GTS and get the SRT/10, then come pick me up and take me posin'

I bet those that brought the special VCA yellow SRT's were gutted when they launched the coupe that very evening after just receiving their keys in the morning.

now having seen a lot of SRT's including special one off paint jobs, I can honestly say the one colour that stood out shoulders above the rest in my eyes was....








......Silver
By far the best colour for a SRT/10

That was Silver & Blue I take it .

SRT 10 MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just can't make my mind up.
From my point of view the RT 10 was a bench mark car individual surpassed only by the GTS, but the SRT 10, walk around it, the car does not seem to have the presence that the RT / GTS has it's nice but it's to Euro for me.

The new coupe though WOW now that's what I'm talking about.

Just my 2 cents.

You think??? You'd be pretty naive to think that they wouldn't be producing one...?

USA websites have been chatting about the new coupe being launched at VOI for some time, I bet the announcement still shocked quite a few though, I believe it will it out for 2006

this pic off the alley is the best I've seen yet, it did have an engine in it. Gen2 will become even more of a bargain for us as the market floods with p/x's in USA, I've already read today of people putting their vipers up for sale !




There's some different angles here

Paul Keep it....you know it makes sense.

However if you did go for the SRT then wait till next year when selected members of the Chrysler network will be selling them through the the showrooms ...3yrs warranty and all the rest..

Orders taken here....

My black one is a comin but if I only keep one it'll be the GTS.

I don,t like it, the cills look better on the old GTS
the stripes are too fat, the back window a bit corvettey! it,s lost that special something.

...curves?? They made it unique.
Thought i'd drop by the local Chrysler/ Jeep show room in Poole just 2 oggle another snake and there was a white SRT in the back.... at £75000 (about the cheapest in the room!)

Stick with the GTS IMHO.

Despite the whole clownshoe thing (never did get it), it looks better than the SRT10 which has good capabilities but I dare say looks tame (sorry to those owners!). The GTS was probably the peak of the Dodge Viper. The new coupe was ruined from the rear with that squaring off thing at the rear corners. Should have just made it like the CC IMHO.

SRT10 has awesome brakes.
How about waiting for a C6 Z06, then?
