First of all I wanna say I like the old Vipers much more too. I'm not a fan of modern, sharp-angled designs. But my favorite Viper is the one from GT1 with the flat trunk (and small rear window). Too bad it's not in the game anymore. Does anyone know it's name and year?

About the reptile design theory... The typical middle split in Dodge's grills makes it kinda hard to make a mouth-teeth look. But taking it away wouldn't be so "Dodge" anymore...
Anyway I thought I could do better in making a car look like a snake. I based my design on the pic of the snake in the first post. Sorry about the proportions, I wasn't really taking my time, just wanna show the essence of the design.
I made an alternative pain scheme to make the mouth and teeth more obvious.
It could also go without the front wing, I like the bottom bending inwards like the Ford GTs do, but that wouldn't really go together with the big Viper air outlets on the sides...
What do you people think?

:lol: looks good Melaneimoon even though it's a bit too literal to me. That doesn't mean it's not good though. Btw, if you'd like we have a Car draw competition here on GTP if you'd like to join. There are links in my sig. It's kinda in limbo at the moment though. :guilty:

Are you perhaps talking about the VIPER RT/10?
Here it is with the detachable hard-top

doesnt anyone else think that the blue with white stripe's paint combo is what sets the viper off or is it just me lol ?
You mean you don't like it? (English isn't my native language, I'm not familiar with the saying "set off")
I don't mind it... Actually I don't really like red, non-Italian cars.

I prefer the old Viper, much sexier.

its true. to me the new vipers are just saying "hey, we're dodge, we make overpowered cars and trucks. it doesnt matter if it performs well, it just has to have a lot of unecessary power and look cool so people in a midlife crisis will buy one."

Uhhh...what? Since when do Vipers not perform well? Overpowered? There's no such thing, my friend! Not when you've got 600hp mercedes 4-seaters :crazy: I may not like the looks as much as the old one, but that doesn't mean the car isn't amazing. They do look good in black though :drool: Plus, considering I think the older version is one of the best-looking cars ever made, it would be really hard for me to like the new one better.

Oh yeah, and just because someone doesn't know when every model of a car came out doesn't mean they aren't a fan. Maybe he was too young in '92 to know anything about the Viper? I was a mere 10 years old around the time the Viper came out. It was actually the car that got me interested in cars at all.
 
also.. having watched one on one on the dragstrip... SRT 10 vs. R/T 10... SRT won every time.. except the first, (obviously it wasn't his car- he couldn't find the latch to open the hood for tech)... there was a hardtop and the convertable 1st gen, and an SRT10 2nd.. [forgot the insignia] lol

The Viper in GT1 was a first-gen RT/10 making it a '93-'97 or there abouts. The first-gen GTS was also there, I loved the racing mods on the RT for some reason I like the whole Red with yellow accents idea on the old Viper.

As for your design concept its not too bad. It looks kind of like a TVR Cerbera. I like the front wing on it. You should send that design to Dodge and see what happens. 👍
