    Dodge and FCA apparently support viper owners better than Nissan does with GT-R owner

    Re: Dodge and FCA apparently support viper owners better than Nissan does with GT-R o They must be uninformed buyers. It doesn't take much to get $20k off MSRP on leftover '14 and '15 model years with the $10k dealer cash.

    CONGRATS SRT - DRIVER and MFG CHAMPIONS

    Sorry, it was the replay on Sunday on regular Fox. That's probably why.

    CONGRATS SRT - DRIVER and MFG CHAMPIONS

    Strange, they showed the additional half hour past the scheduled time on my Fox channel.

    The current and future state of Viper sales and technology

    All three are not that much different but by having just one model without the significantly high price tag of the GTS and with the good reviews it has gotten, it might have psychologically worked out better for potential buyers. Who knows, it didn't happen that way so no idea if that would...

    The current and future state of Viper sales and technology

    I think if they would have just come out with the TA (but not call it a TA) but in any color and got rid of the base model and GTS maybe they would have been okay. One kick ass model, somewhat reasonably priced if you could negotiate near $105k new and new gearing that would allow it to run...

    The current and future state of Viper sales and technology

    You are correct, I haven't launched it but wouldn't that only be fun in a straight line? What about spirited driving on back roads, how would launch control make it more fun for me there? I am not saying that the car isn't fast, I am just stating my opinion that I like manual cars even if they...

    The current and future state of Viper sales and technology

    I'm one of the few but for a weekend car give me a manual. To me it is just more engaging/fun. I don't care if the DCT is faster, if the GTR was offered in a manual I would have gotten that. I like driving my GTR and yes it is actually fun to drive but when I am doing normal driving in auto mode...

    The current and future state of Viper sales and technology

    Regardless of all of its deficiencies, I remember the opposite back in 1996. It seemed to me that it was always built for the track and most articles highlighted its track capabilities. One mag even had it racing against an R1 motorcycle.

    The current and future state of Viper sales and technology

    Couldn't you say the same thing about Nissan and the GTR? Nissan isn't exactly the marquee of japanese brands but I guess the GTR has had the reputation but wasn't offered here before 2009. It's not like the service at Nissan is any better than Dodge. I think the performance was what was able...

    SRT Viper Sportback Revealed, Headed to New York Auto Show

    Has to be an April Fools joke but it would be better than revealing another new color for the 100th time.

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    I keep seeing your posts about the Turbo S and I saw a recent review of the new 911 Turbo S and it was slower than the previous model. It ran 10.9 at 123mph and the reviewers were surprised given the changes. I wonder if older Turbo S owners are disappointed and complaining like some of the...

    paint issues--please help

    ^^^ I agree with everything you said especially since the paint that is damaged is on the inside edge of the door.

    Had to ruin my car today :'(

    I just don't like the look of having a front plate on any car and sometimes I won't have one on my daily drivers unless the dealer already put holes in my bumper. In MD it has actually gotten me out of at least three speeding tickets and by just giving me a front plate ticket instead which is...

    Well, hello beautiful

    What took so long? Just kidding. Congratulations, after the meeting take the rest of the day off! Can't wait to hear your impressions. One request, please give SRTviper a ride or let him test drive it so he can make up his mind.

    Arrival!!!!

    Wow, congrats even though you didn't get the car you ordered. At least you have one for summer and don't have to wait any longer. I can't wait to hear your impressions as well as Vipersmith's.

    eek

    Congrats! I know from your posts how frustrating it must have been but at least it is here for summer and you only missed a few months of driving it. You should bring it to the MD/VA VCA crab feast this weekend on the eastern shore.

    It's getting harder to maintain my enthusiasm...

    GTRs are $100k and add more for a black edition for recaro seats and different wheels. There is no other customization than that except for different colored seats for $4k or silver paint for another $3k and the interior is no better than a base Gen V with leather and is now also close to a...

    What makes the Gen5 worth $100K?

    Out of all of the potential owners out there I am really looking forward to your impressions when you get yours since you have never owned a previous Viper before. Given the types of cars you have had and considered, I want to know whether the quality of the Gen V meets your expectations. For...

    It's getting harder to maintain my enthusiasm...

    I know they are independently owned or owned by a "group" but there is not enough volume to support a separate SRT dealership. What owner would want to put up all of that capital if they aren't able to sell the volume to make up for the investment. I know high end exotic dealers don't sell...

    It's getting harder to maintain my enthusiasm...

    All of the SRT cars are niche cars/trucks whereas the tier 1 brands sell a ton of volume on most of their cars with the exception of their niche cars (AMG, F, M, etc.). SRT doesn't have the volume to have separate dealerships for just SRT products. However, I think they could have a separate...

    It's getting harder to maintain my enthusiasm...

    I don't think you can really compare the experience with SRT to a luxury brand like Mercedes, Lexus, BMW, etc. or even exotics like Ferrari. If you do of course you are going to be disappointed as all of of these are in a higher tier. I would probably compare the experience to buying a GTR...

    New Video with Ralph saying they tested the TA edition with sport cups

    Pretty good video below. Ralph mentions they tested the TA with sport cups and it was 2-1/2 seconds faster than the Pirellis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=k-ItYO0LoMU#!

    Ralph "needs a raise" Thread.

    What I am impressed with most is that they went out and fixed a lot of the issues with the pre-production car based on what MT had raised when they did the ZR1 vs. Viper comparison. A lot of people weren't happy with the way SRT handled the situation (i.e. giving them a preproduction car to use...
