The similarities are striking:

I didn't know that the new Viper was in production as coupe already.

Only a racing version is. The coupe is all we get for now..

They really do look similar in those pics.

only in the pic!! the wing may have some part to play as alook alike also..I've seen both plenty of times and they look totally differnt.. I actually prefer the looks of the older 96 up GTS models over the new 2003 but ya.. in the pic they do look similar

Did you get the story on it. Will this car be running in the ALMS series?

I had heard that the new Viper was offered to past owners of the car as some type of customer loyalty program, therefore cutting out the dealer profit. Had anyone else heard that ? Any yes it does look similar, although the clown shoe went to a hi-top !

Here's where I originally saw the photo, and my initial reaction was that it looks so much like a Supra from that angle:

It looks different in other views, but I also prefer the styling on the original RT-10 and GTS models:

Looks like the Viper is alot flatter in design, meaning the body lines, The back window behing the driver windows kills the look in the supra...oops, forgot it can seat 4.
