i must give credit where credit is due sween. i found the picture on the Alley website, and thought i would share since i saw you guys talking about it. my understanding is that the car is real and was slightly lowered via photoshop.

That’s wicked looking. Is that THE car Dan Knott had this weekend? I like it without the strips.
Anybody who buys a ZO6 over this car either, can’t afford the Viper, or has know sense of style and just wants to blend in. Even the SL500 those damn things are everywhere and there lame as [******]. IMO

Cars went to D1 in the last few days, so in all likelyhood we will see some in September. Some 2006 SRT-10s Convertibles are also well into the loop. Hope this helps?

September 9 is the date for production release as I understand it.
The coupe pictured above was at the Putnam Park Viper Days event. Dan's son is in the young drivers program. Amazing how well that car tracks...It's 30% stiffer than the convertible...and more horsepower than the Vette! There was also a Ford GT running. Viper Days rocks!

Why doesn't it have the new wheels?? Will they be an optional item for the first year?

Anyone notice the Ebay car went down by 3k to 86k. 2 days left, should be interesting if it fetches over sticker or not.
SSunburn,
Good question, and one that deserves a quick answer. The wheels you see will be the standard rim on both Coupes and Convertibles ( though they will build few convertibles )and there will be other rims available, also. The 5 spoke and the ones shown on the European models will be a $700 upgrade, and hence one could see three different styles on the 2006s.
The European styled wheel , I believe, is somewhat delayed , so it will pop up a bit later.

Are the special edition blue/white stripe coupes coming standard with the 5 spoke rims, or are they a $700 option?
Thanks.

I was given a "tentative" complete date of Sep. 14, 2005 by my dealer. (The date given by an "insider" at CAAP) Just got VIN and went D1 as of Friday, Aug 12, 2005. Hope this gives encouragement for those of us whom are "anxiously" waiting!

My VIN ends in 100301. How about you others who have VINs? Does anyone know the numbering sequence that will be used?

We saw coupes on the line last week -- still finishing the initial shakedown. It won't be long.

Of course this is only a "best guess", but let's consider the following:
Bob K above has VIN 100301. Mine ends as 100488.
1. It's a "known fact" that they only plan to build 200 of the first editions. Either Bob K is the luckiest bastard around getting #1 of the first edition run and I'm toward the tail end of the run, or the VIN's are non-sequential.
2. Production supposedly starts (per ChrisL above) tomorrow August 22, 2005 and production release September 9, 2005 (per NascarDave above). That would make a 3 week cycle (I seem to remember when I picked up the 2001 GTS at the factory that it was 3.5 days on the line and 7 weeks in the "fit n' finish" area. Do they make tham that much faster these days?)
3. My complete date was estimated to be September 14th, that's 3.5 weeks from now. If that's the case, it's likely that mine is in the "fit n' finish" area now (I hope!) and "prosibly" (how's that for merging possibly / probably?) Bob K's is too.
4. I guess we'll know for sure about the VIN numbering system soon.
5. Good Luck Bob K!! (and everyone else!)
(Will post if I hear anything else from "inside")

Well, I guess the VIN question has been answered (Thanks and congrats 1Tony1!)
Since 1Tony1's VIN is 100277 and mine is 100488, that's more than 200, so the numbering is non-sequential.
Black Mamba, my shipper lists an equipment code "ALS" with a description of "First Edition Group", so yes, I assume that all of us with VINs right now should know for sure we're getting 1 of 200.
Newport Viper, I dont think they ever produced any more GTS's in Viper GTS Blue with white stripes after that 1996 run (please corect me if I'm wrong). Although I have to admit that yellow is my favorite color and the Yellow / Black GTS gets far more attention / interest than my Red SRT-10 ever did, I'm opting for the first edition in hopes that it's relative "rareness" will command greater value (or greater sadness if it's ever stolen / wrecked) down the road.

Actually that's not the vin under my name, it is from the same dealer though. The one under my name has not been assigned a vin yet.
Blue and whites were in 1996 and 1997.

Just checked the Registry. I stand corrected. Blue and White in 1996 and 1997. One would hope that since they've "been there and done that" in 96-97, maybe Team Viper will maintain exclusivity this time. Probably too much to hope for, though. If the demand is there for more Blue / White, undoubtedly DC will produce them. It's the Germerican way?!?!
Thanks 1Tony1!
