Just curious to learn how many people that own Vipers also own other Dodge or Chrysler Products. I personally have 2 Escalades (an EXT for me and ESV for my wife). I am trading my C6 Corvette in for a new 05 SRT 10 (Viper Red). In my research I have concluded a Viper is a Viper not necessarily a "Dodge" (hand made, limited production, single purpose intent)however a Corvette (given its mass production and generic characteristics) is infact a Chevy?

Am I insane (somewhere between happiness and sadness I need to calculate what creates my own madness)...? :eek:

Corvette is indeed a Chevy, but both Rubbermaid and Tupperware do have controlling interest in the marque.

Yes, it is my only Dodge... a fact I thought long and hard about. I've owned many Chevy's, one BMW, several Fords, and several DC products. EVERY DC product I've owned was a POS that was a maintenance disaster and equity sinkhole. However, most of those experiences were Jeep products. I expect (and hope), that the SRT will be a different experience..

Current Stable..
2000 Ford Mustang GT
2001 Chevy Tahoe
2002 BMW 745i
2003 Chrysler 300
2004 Viper
2004 Harley

note.. for the first time since 1997, NO vettes on this list.. I'm trying to fix the withdrawl with a Viper.. we'll see..

Unless something crazy happened, I would never own any Dodge other than a Viper. I'm an Escalade guy myself. ;)

First and last. I was thinking about buy an SRT-4 for my wife, but after dealing with Dodge for 8 months, NO WAY!

I might consider a MB, provided it was built in Germany.

Whenever you look at any of the independent consumer ratings of cars/trucks, Dodge generally is at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to reliablity and resale value.

I was hoping the Viper would be different due to its cost and exclusiveness. What was I thinking!

I've had a '97 Dakota club cab Sport v8/5-speed 4x4 since new. Had the driveshaft fall off the truck shortly after I bought it, luckily it was within 1/2 mile of the dealer where I bought it. Since then, literally no problems. Now use it as my Viper tow vehicle.

perhaps if we all claim to own serveral dodge vehicles in addition to our vipers, DC will listen to all of our wish lists. i personally have a viper, a 1500 ram, a durango, and a mustang. i am thinking of selling the stang for another chrysler product!!

My very first car was a 1971 Challenger convertible.
Sadly, it's long gone.

We are thinking of getting an SRT Magnum. It seems to be a good car. I just wish it came with a manual transmission.
