Wow, looks nice. The side view has a C5ish look. The front kinda has the ls1 Camaro SS look. I'm not to fond of the front.

stunning.

However; if they are real rag-tops I wonder if owners will have trouble tracking the cars. The roll-hoops on the pre-production model I saw at the NY auto show last year seemed to be too low to comply with SCCA standards.

I know a lot of viper owners track their cars and that a lot of car clubs/tracks do not allow convertibles that do not meet the SCCA standards onto their tracks. ( Remember how many threads there have been here on roll-bars.)

Has anyone who has seen one in person been able to get an impression of the height of the roll-hoops?

I think they definitely look American. Like the C5, they look rather "high". Maybe a little lowering is in order along with powder coated black wheels.

Impressive, but......

I don't know. It's starting to look like the Batmobile!!

Leaning towards that Chrysler retro look.

Sorry, but the jury's still out for me!
