Motor Trend selects Best Driver's car for 2015
The ACR thread at Corvette Forum is overwhelmingly positive, with the vast majority complimenting Dodge and heaping praises on the ACR. That car is just amazing. Long live the Viper!! Makes this comment seems rather petty and insecure.- Rapid Transit

Dodge to drop out of racing.
Do you think this has anything to do with the sales failure of the Gen V? Or do you think Dodge was gonna get out, regardless of how many Gen V sell?- Rapid Transit

Chrysler: Please tweak the $15K Voucher...
I agree. What recent 13 & 14 Vipers would want to trade their car in on a new one? And even if they all do, which is impossible, the numbers of recent purchasers are small. If Dodge REALLY wants to sell the existing backlog, don't bother giving the dealer $15000, and a separate $15000 coupon for...- Rapid Transit

2014 C&D VIR Lightning Lap Results...Viper TA delivers!
Porsche 918 is the fastest, no surprise there. The porky GT-R beats the SRT-TA, though barely, is kinda surprising. The Z/28 is right there, despite it being heavy, and not much tech (like the GT-R has), very surprising. My question is in regards to the TA and Z/28: Viper is lighter, much more...- Rapid Transit

Possible 2016 Supercharged
I agree, those cars are very nice and fast. The problem is they're not reliable, various issues pop up later when out of warranty, repairs are expensive. This is from a few of my friends who adore AMGs, they only lease for good reason. That's also probably why those cars depreciate so much.- Rapid Transit

Hey, at least there's advertising for the Viper.
I've seen a full page ad for the Gen V in Road & Track, and at least couple other mags. However, it's still referred to as an SRT Viper. I thought they changed the name back to Dodge Viper?- Rapid Transit

Gen V forum posting vitriol discourages SRT/Dodge participation
lawdogg149, I recognize you from the Corvette forum. I'm a car enthusiast, and love both Vette and Viper. I'm considering either the C7Z or Gen V for my next car. It saddens me to see the Viper gasping for air wrt sales figures, and likely its survival as well. On a lighter note, what do you...- Rapid Transit

Since a Stock 2015 Hellcat w/ DR's Just ran 10.85 @126 ph in the 1/4 Mile...
If he knows it 's "badass in every regard", what's keeping, or kept, him from purchasing one? Isn't he the demographics that Dodge lusted after, but failed to attract?- Rapid Transit

Very close to becoming a part of the Viper nation. Need forum input
I completely understand where you're coming from. However, for some people, the attention afforded by the Viper is unwanted, and can be a nuisance. You like being the center of attention, so you put up with the other issues that OP pointed out. For those who can't stand the attention, the other...- Rapid Transit

If I were you, I'd get the F-Type R and call it a day. It looks and sounds better than the Gen V, interior is better as well. The ride is perfect for a DD.- Rapid Transit

sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.
From what I've seen, the Gen V just floors people with its looks. But, like your experience, the higher end demographics that Dodge is going after is NOT buying the Gen V. They may ooh and ahh about it, but WHY is it that they're not biting? Why did that Panamera Turbo owner bypass the Viper...- Rapid Transit

Let's be real, what would it take? Only short answers please
At the risk of being labeled a "pretender", I will say this: I totally agree that 640 HP is way more than enough, even 500 or a little less. But winning races with 640 HP is not the point here. SRT wants to hear what will make more buyers consider the Gen V. So, even if nobody can use 700 HP to...- Rapid Transit
