incase you've missed this pic, taken at a german show its the first pic I've seen of euro version,
rear exhaust pipes, fog lights cut into the boot lid and the side sills where the USA exhaust should be is covered

tips look great, but the fogs look naff to me, new sills needed...

It's growing on me each time I see one. Had a good look round one in Vegas. Woudl compliment the GTS nicely, but never replace it

They need a coupe Viper, based on the 2000 GTS-R concept that is on this website (which is what the Comp Coupe is based on).

Or

A street legal Viper Competition Coupe.

Ford has the GT, Chevrolet/GM have the Vette - 400bhp C6, 500bhp C6 Vette Z06, and a 625BHP TT or N/A ZL1 special edition (probably stripped to the bone for racing like the Comp Coupe, but I damn well hope street legal), yet Dodge/DC has nothing special...yet...

Although the issue can be mitigated through the Viper aftermarket, the side-exhausts cause a lot of heat in the cabin due to poor routing of the exhaust.

Sorry to say but the side pipes are illegal in a lot of European Countries.

Certainly Germany and Holland plus others I believe.

However, don't those 4 large exhaust look the business.

looks like the inside exhaust tips stick out slightly more than the outside tips

Why's that then? Because they are 4 exhausts - you could say they belong on a Vette or a GTO TT - or a Saxo!! lol.

The exhaust design reminds me of a C5 or C5 Z06 Vette, what with the 4 exhausts (tips) coming out from the centre.

Saxo is not pushing it, it's just the beginning.

I wonder WHY the new Mercedes SLR has side pipes...

The SRT-10 should keep the side pipes too!

Those exhausts belong on a vette, not a viper, just doesn't look right. Nice SEATS though

Those pipes definitely won't work on a vette.....they ain't BIG enough!!

They look more like a BMW M3....

Yep, those exhaust pipes definately aren't big enough for a car as hardcore, not for the faint hearted, and performance-orientated as a Vette or Viper - those exhaust pipes belong on an M3.

Have you people noticed that in the pic of the seats (hehe), where the door is open, on the side sill (well not exactly the side sill), there is a sticker. Judging by the content of the sticker, I'm sure that that is a warning about the side sill getting hot with the Viper's side-exit exhausts - especially as that sticker looks very similar to the sticker provided on the 04 Viper about side sills getting hot (the sticker was a brand new improvement for the 04 Viper). Funny thing is, that sticker is not required as this Euro Viper no longer has side exit exhausts.

the euro viper may not have side exits, but that sill will still be glowing hot no doubt with the OE cats, get them eggs ready !
