    CAAP: When does it come back online to begin producing 2015s?

    They have to wait for inventories to come down. Hopefully, there will be no 2015 model....giving SRT time to do a redesign.

    Who else has been following our guys in the TUDOR Series this year?

    WOW, THAT is totally awesome.:dance: They were closing, but ran out of time (although I'm not sure they had the speed to get past the Ferrari). Absolutely right....the gap is almost non-existent and Team Viper has been getting stronger by the race. Which is why we owners and fans need to get out...

    My Detail Guy recommended Griot's Garage products: http://www.griotsgarage.com/ I have used them between professional Details and can report they are excellent.

    Who else has been following our guys in the TUDOR Series this year?

    In the link, SRT Motorsports marketing director Beth Paretta makes it plain: ROI. Like other manufacturer's racing teams, Team Viper exists to sell street cars. SRT pulling out of Le Mans this year (which was supposed to be THE year) was an ominous sign on the general health of the Viper...

    Exactly.;) IIRC, this was to finish up 2014 orders.

    Who else has been following our guys in the TUDOR Series this year?

    Good luck with that!;) If your guys can match 'em, then hats off to them. The GTS-R (GTLM class) car is restricted to 500hp, with shifts happening at 4800rpm. The GT3-R (GTD class) is also restricted at 450hp. However, the downforce of the race cars is much greater than the street car. They...

    CAAP: When does it come back online to begin producing 2015s?

    Because the current arrangement regarding Vipers with Dodge is unworkable? Just a thought.......:dunno: Dodge making $$$ on Viper sales is a difficult proposition at best. As you stated in your post, using the car as a lure to bring car buyers into dealerships to buy other models makes sense in...

    I don't know anything about a Arrow Racing kit....inquiring minds want to know more.

    Possible 2016 Supercharged

    SRT can easily get 800 hp out of a very mildly boosted V10. We know the internals can handle it...Ralph is on record as saying so. IMO, anything < 900 hp would be something of a cop-out. You are absolutely right. I think EVERYONE, including Mopar fans, was rocked off their feet by the...

    CAAP: When does it come back online to begin producing 2015s?

    Ideally, every "dealer should be able to afford to have one Viper sit in their showroom, even if it's to elevate the stature of the dealership and to help sell other models." It's really the primary purpose of having a halo car. Under the current system, it's not possible to do this. Perhaps...

    CAAP: When does it come back online to begin producing 2015s?

    Agreed. There is too much inventory to restart production (which is why the start date keeps getting pushed back). Some folks around here threw hissy-fits and cursed the day I was born when I pointed this out in June....:D

    Who else has been following our guys in the TUDOR Series this year?

    I have been watching Team Viper this year and they have put on a great show flying our flag. http://www.drivesrt.com/racing/ Like all teams in the series, they have had their ups and downs. However, while starting a little slow, our guys have steadily improved in the GTLM class. Ben...

    +1 I didn't "pass" on a 458 for the privilege of driving a Viper.... Having the $$$ to buy one doesn't mean it would be prudent for me to do so.;)

    Yeah, that.

    Possible 2016 Supercharged

    I have had my Viper for 11 years....so NO, I didn't "cross shop and decided the Viper is the better car." The 458, which I drove in Vegas, is the most visceral, kinetic car I have ever experienced. The thing left me slack-jawed. ALL other things being equal, I would pick it as my most desirable...

    Freudian slip?:rolaugh: Agreed. I don't favor one American brand over the other and have vehicles from all 3 in my garages. However, there are foreign brands I DO favor over others (won't list here in order to avoid a flame war ;)) for various reasons.

    Uhhhhh, OK....then why did you say this: "(remember AMG's are AWD drive)"????? The majority of AMGs are AND always have been RWD...you should know this: http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/amg Have not owned an AMG, but have driven them and they are fine vehicles (BTW, I am a big MB fan). I have...

    SMALL world, Bob.:cool: I had a 2001 silver Lightning and loved it. My experience was the same as yours: reliable, fast, fun to drive, comfortable seats for someone with a bad back like me, and Brembos so good you would swear someone had thrown an anchor out the back of the bed. Also, I had a...

    Now it's your turn to be "serious." Adjustable power on a Viper? What Viper guy would want anything BUT the maximum? BMWs are also not known for reliability.

    Possible 2016 Supercharged

    You know how people are: "What have you done for me lately?" I think you are being much too conservative of what kind of power 5-6 lbs. of boost will generate... If we apply it to the current 645 hp. V10, I believe we are looking at 850 hp. easy.;) In my ideal fantasy world, a small team of...
