I'm not sure if this has been posted yet but I here are the build numbers along with some other Viper stats.
SEMA Research and Information Center reports the following sales numbers for the Viper: 2006 (January through November) = 1,387; 2005 = 1,652; 2004 = 1,782; 2003 = 2,103; 2002 = 1,511; 2001 = 1,388.
News and Notes from Foresight Research 2005 Specialty and High Image Vehicle Study:
The buyers of specialty vehicles are sensitive to change and aware of new product renewals. The Dodge Viper (although remaining strong) shows a deterioration in consumer perception of road handling/power because there have been no significant new product changes lately.
95% of Viper owners are males between the age of 25 and 64.
Viper owners place significantly more importance on unique styling, horsepower and acceleration and much less emphasis on technical innovation, luxury appointments and value.
Suggested Vehicle Modifications to Improve Satisfaction:
* Add navigation – 17.5%
* Reduce engine heat – 15.0%
* Improve audio – 12.5%
* Add features – 12.5%
One in four owners (26%) modify their Viper. The single biggest upgrade category is modifying exhaust, followed by engine upgrades, engine computer chips, exterior (appearance parts) and turbo or superchargers.
