I love the Gen 5 SRT Viper. I love the less weight, I love the 6 air-breathing gills in the hood. I love the high quality interior thats functional and holds you in place while you're kicking ass and taking names. I LOVE the fact that my wife hates riding in the Viper for long trips. I LOVE that fact that timid drivers are afraid to drive or own a Viper.

But I cant STAND the GTS Viper. I'm sorry, I simply cant stand it. I know its politically incorrect to say this...but there is nothing that makes me want to puke more than a blue GTS "Viper" with that plain ass hood and a peanut butter colored leather interior with pretty multicolored stitching and high quality cup holders and push button this to see how many coffee shops are nearby on your big screen that hooks you up to your financial planner while playing Mozart thru some super sophisticated Harmon Kardon stereo system with 72 speakers for 3-D surround sound and seat vibrators and an ipod connector underneath your blue tooth button next to your go-to-meeting screen besides your nanny this and nanny that. Instead of making a suspension that squats to help get superior 1/4 mile times for bragging rights like the ZR1, we got pretty stitching and cruise control. I'm sorry , I just cant continue to be silent on this. A civilized snake is an oxymoron...who in the hell respects a snake you can domesticate? The only sports car with all that crap on the inside that would be feared and respected MUST have at least 750 rwhp from the factory or have awd like the Lambo Aventador. Otherwise...lets just all make different versions of Aston Martins.

Give me a black Gen 5 SRT Viper with the mean 6 vent hood and the track package. THATS A VIPER. The day our wives dont ***** about going on a 3 hour cruise in our Vipers and the day people trade in their Audi R8's for a Viper is the day we've all been castrated along with our brand. The very first time I see a $165k GTS Viper at a traffic light with all that crap in it I am gonna line it up in my sites and pull up next to him.....

And show him why there are two versions of Vipers being made...those for the real Viper guys...and those for everyone else. And once that traffic light turns green.....he will be made to understand why.:headbang:

I know everyone is singing kumbaya for our new beloved Viper...but this just had to be said.

Cool...buy the SRT, and then be thankful the next guy buys a GTS so we ALL can enjoy a new Viper. Otherwise, we'd be stuck with a Challenger SRT-8 after the Gen IV sales numbers :lmao:

BM1 is entitled to his opinion. The fuffy crap doesn't do it for me either but I think having a choice makes sense and gives everybody a better chance to have more of what they want as opposed to one model that tries to be all things to all people.

Opinion or not, I wish I had my 5 minutes back on this thread. Total waste of time!

Have you seen one in person? 6 vents in hood does not make you faster, so all I could do was laugh reading the post. I can only assume that was the purpose, a joke right?

Vibrator!!!!!! I must have missed it on my order form. I am sure my girlfriend will like that option. The option I want was on James Bond's DB5......the ejection seat. Could be useful for bad dates.:D

Funniest part would be if he pulled up next to a GTS so show the driver's what's what... then gets beat.

Having choices is a great thing. Thankfully we are past the "Model T in black only" days.

Re: I'm just gone go ahead and say it....

Having 2 versions of the BEast is a win win for everyone. Purists can opt for the SRT and a whole new market of Viper owners who are looking for a more refined car can have the GTS. IT is a great move from SRT. There are so many options on the car that can tailor any individuals needs for what they are looking for in a car. I am a purist at heart but hte Viper has evolved and is ready to show the world what SRT can do.

Re: I'm just gone go ahead and say it....

same engine, same exhaust note, same body, same traction control, and probably faster (GTS) around a track b/c of better suspension settings...so am i missing something here????

You just want to be careful if you get that option that you don't suffer from premature ejection, :(

So Keith, if I read your post correctly, it seems you're ordering a Black GenV SRT! Welcome back! Looking forward to reading about your kill stories when you get that new snake. :headbang: Who are you ordering from?

Re: I'm just gone go ahead and say it....

Wished there was an option with carburators, no computer what so ever, haha. In another year my 99 GTS qualifes for collector plate so don't have to have it air cared anymore. Fuel savings offered by EFI in the beast wouldn't be a concern since it's not a daily driver.

Re: I'm just gone go ahead and say it....

And I like my 2010 B/W better than yours. I love all vipers, but I bought the 2010 precisely because I wanted to forgo the creature comforts. Also like the fact it's the last of the Dodge era.
