The viper gala was top class with no expense spared! Great venue, great food, great music, and extremely well executed. Thank you Ralph and everyone at SRT who made this event possible! Thank you for keeping our viper alive and all the hard work you and your team put into making our cars! I do however want to apologize for the rude and obnoxious a$$holes who would not shut up during the presentation! It was extremely embarassing and disrespectful to you and the rest of your team! I just can't believe those are viper guys acting that way?!!:mad::mad: In all it was a fabulous night, and we are grateful for you and your team! Thank you again! :headbang:

I just watched the 45 min reception video, couldn't watch it live I was working.
Great video overall. It answered a lot of questions I had and even some I didn't!
You can tell Ralph had a lot of fun! I too was shocked by the amount of people talking, even after he asked them to be quiet.
The video was edited or dropped out at around 3:30 for a half minute or so.. kinda curious what Beth said. :lmao:
A little slow to start, Ralph started speaking and it got pretty good around the 15 minute mark. If you haven't watched it may answer some questions for you. Much of it was rehashed from the release video this morning but a little less "PG"
A nice surprise at the 38 minute mark.

Wow! What an event! 1st class all the way!

Thank you Ralph, and all involved (JR Thompson for sure!) and of course, our VCA officers for making this event incredibly special!

AMEN to thanking Ralph and the entire SRT team. The event was perfect and done with so much class. It was nice meeting so many great people from around the country.
All the SRT guys and the drivers were so nice too.

Thanks Ralph for bringing us this new incredible Viper. I will have to trade my coupe for the new one now.

It was fun watching the event on the web - wish I could have been there.

Also wish the event would have been held in Amarillo ... we know how to deal with "RUDE and OBNOXIOUS."

Agreed - the event was top notch. The auction near the end of the night was great as well - good to see some of you 'going big' on the hood and model!!

As for the talkers during the presentation, it was ridiculous. Especially so when two younger guys next to me are saying BS like 'we came here for the car' when the widow was giving her speech. Classless and clueless.

All in all a very great night, even with the a$$holes.

+1 This was a great event! For those who could not attend, the new car is more impressive in person than in the photos.
I really appreciated that the SRT engineers answered all of my questions. They explained in detail the new engine and brakes and clearly did their research on all aspects of the new car during its development. The SRT engineers work really ******* the vehicles we are passionate about. Give them praise every chance you get. :2tu:

You said it EZ. Every thing was so much better than you possibly expected. The car. The intro. The party. The people. It just couldn't have been any better. Can't wait to try the new car. (I don't even care what type of pistons are in it, al song as there are ten!)

They are the black and white sneak peak pic with the date below them. Thee was a link for anyone to get a free shirt but it looks like they are being screened to just participants.

It's not clear which item is the one referenced. Do you just select any STRYKER shirt, select to pay, but get a refund / not charged if you were on the list?

And how do you handle ordering one each for the two people in a couple that attended?

They are sold out. And a lot of us did not get a chance to order even though the cutoff date was 5-5-12. So obvioulsy they were NOT verifying orders against names of those who paid for the event.

Sold out? Chris just posted this here a couple of hours ago? Where else was it posted?

The Gala had a unique T-Shirt for those attendees and a specific website to order "free". The SRT shop site is for those that want to purchase SRT/Viper wearables. It does not offer the Gala shirt and is obviously not free. Thats why there is no code or section to order the free shirt.

Hey John,
It was great seeing you and your wife there !
If you looked in your goodie bag of very cool stuff, there was a card which gave the instructions on how to order.
BUT as everyone is saying, it was "sold out" before I even got a chance to put in an order.

SRT , We would still love to get one ! Let us knoiw how to go about it.

Good job SRT and Ralph Giles for being the Gen 5 champion. That car is a labor of love and that is evident to all who can see it for what it is instead of like some here through their dark negative states.

This is the first Viper I will actually save up for and buy
