    Will SRT's Marketing Department Kill the Viper Brand?

    Ah yes, let's listen in on Luca de Montezemolo's words of wisdom ... [ringtone "Woman" by Wolf Mother perturbs the atmosphere at La Pergola] LdM: [glances at caller ID] [facepalm, heavy sigh] [answers anyway] Pronto. RG: Yo Luca, it's Ralph. Got a minute? LdM: Ah, wait one. [looks...

    A dealership that is calling it Dodge SRT Viper...

    To be fair, when you click on View Window Sticker, the cyber-sticker says "Dodge SRT Viper," although the paper sticker on the car itself doesn't. For 30k over, I suppose they can call it whatever they want.

    GEN V featured in Nescafe Clasico commercial

    We should get this guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzfVT6j_1dY Ought to be easy, since obviously Brick Tamland is in charge of Viper marketing.

    Saying bye and giving an apology

    Exactly. Maybe even a lightly optioned SRT Viper, but a GTS would be a bit much to expect. Or a Dart, since everybody says the interior is just the same as a Viper. hm. Anyway, Chrysler is missing an opportunity to sell its products to a captive audience. When my Corvette 1LT base coupe...

    Epic!!! (sorry if repost)

    I agree. HREs are a big improvement.

    Looks like the next Vette Hi Po Z07? Will have a twin Turbo?

    Boxer12 said it was junk. I sure wish I too had so much money that I too could call a $100k+ ZR1 cheap. But no, I didn't take anything personally, thank you. "Junk" and "cheap" imply unreliability. Again, ask the guys who run C6s on tracks and instruct in them all day if "junk" and "cheap"...

    Looks like the next Vette Hi Po Z07? Will have a twin Turbo?

    Carscoops seems to be expert at speculation, like those who assured us the C7 would have a twin-turbo V6 and nanosteel frame. Hi-po C7s are already almost here, sort of--Callaway dealers are now taking deposits for supercharged C7s that will definitely make over 600hp, coupe or convertible...

    2013 SRT Viper Review - Kelley Blue Book

    "Electronics CAN fix stupid!" Very good review that summed up what it's about in a few minutes, and acknowledges that some people may be happier in other cars, depending on what poster you had on your wall. When talking about the GT-R I thought he described its main quality as "tackiness" but...

    Gen V ACR performance speculation...

    aieeee, no! I already have to eat from the dollar menu for the next 30,000 meals to afford a regular Viper and you want to make that 60,000? 6:50 should be possible for way closer to 150 than 250.

    Reached the tipping point: the stock 2013 exhaust interior dB level is unacceptable

    Re: Reached the tipping point: the stock 2013 exhaust interior dB level is unacceptab Good thinking. Once your hearing is gone, try getting it back! In aviation mechanic school, I was the only one who wore earpro in metal shop, since rivet guns are loud enough to ring your ears a little...

    2013 Owner's Manual

    Gee thanks. Glad to hear Vipers are so much fun from the moment they hatch!

    SRT dealer format deciding factor

    This shouldn't happen much to Vipers or any modern cars, if they're driven often and properly maintained. I drive my lowly Corvette to the dealer 100 miles away instead of the one 35 miles away because the further-away one works on a lot more Corvettes. Our friendly local...

    2013 Owner's Manual

    Wow thanks. This is the real one, not the condensed version at driveSRT. Now I know how to open the fuel door both the regular way and the emergency way. Maureen! Pictures, for God's sake! It's been hours!

    2013 Owner's Manual

    I have no flippin idea how to get a paper owners manual, but, Congrats on a happy happy day! Take lots of pictures now! Drive it a lot and tell us what it's like!

    2014 SRT Viper site is up.

    Having gotten a good look at both a GP and a black/GP stripes, I have to say GP is nearly black and nearly impossible to show accurately on a dinky computer screen. It's one of those shades that you really need to see in person, both indoors and in sunshine, to decide whether you want it.

    Porsche 918 Spyder breaks Ring record

    I sure hope this means we see the ACR any day now, at oh say one-sixth the 918's price. Another reason why convertibles/spyders/spiders/targas are the best date cars.

    My Gen V at Thunderhill Raceway

    Hm. I'd drive the Ferrari and keep the wine and cheese in the garage behind velvet ropes. That stuff is expensive. Great track report, Venom V. Glad you had fun and glad your snake is all you expected it to be after such a LONG wait.

    Gen V has it's work cut out for it at the Ring...

    Seeing as how McLaren is a very distant 5th in the Constructors and they've admitted that this year will be their first without a podium finish since 1980, RD is already in for the hammering of a lifetime, ball-peen or otherwise. Right, given the money and publicity dumped on it. Then SRT...

    How many Shadow Blue Pearl 2013 SRTs are there?

    Yup, they found out we liked SBP, so now they don't make it anymore. Everybody liked Stryker Red too, but at 14.6 I suppose there were not enough takers to justify the PITA of spraying a tri-coat. And my nearest dealer almost certainly won't get a Stryker Red because they still haven't sold...

    24 hours with a SRT Red Launch Edition

    Sure sounds like it's for me. I had a regular red S2000 for 56,000 miles and then a yellow S2000 CR, the one with hardtop and cartoonish wing and quick steering and gumball tires and stiffer suspension that would loosen your fillings on rough interstates. That's why most car rags said the CR...

    paint issues--please help

    Man, that's boolsheet. We have LE 56/150 at my nearest dealer; see if they'll swap you. I went to take more pictures of it yesterday--needed some inspiration to go on after a crummy week in court--and if one like it were mine, I couldn't bear to be parted from it that long. Hope you get...

    How many Shadow Blue Pearl 2013 SRTs are there?

    Yay! Congrats on making a big sale, and to the new owner on a happy day! Was it an SRT or a GTS? I think that's what the ad is trying to say--the only SRT. I've seen several GTSes in SBP.

    24 hours with a SRT Red Launch Edition

    Thanks for the great review, and for spending $1,000 to get it. That's what I call taking one for the team.

    SRT Viper on Top Gear USA tonight

    Top Gear UK is not a car show ... it's a comedy show that uses motor vehicles for props and punchlines, and quite successfully. Example: Jeremy Clarkson on the 911 instrument panel--"If I had stuffed all the gauges and switches in my nose and mouth, and sneezed them out all over the dashboard...

    Pics of the Viper in front of the biggest collection of snakes on *Earth*

    You should have looked across the street from the Capitol and gotten the Supreme Court building too, just to be complete. I wouldn't have had the guts to even try that photo shoot in DC these days. I look too terroristic without even trying.
