    If I had a 2008-2010 ACR I wouldn't budge. Let SRT sort out what they are doing. Locally here in FL there are dealers with mulitple vipers offering discounts. 10K-12K off a 140K car still makes it a unmodifiable 128K car. I expect more or at least the ability to do more at that price.

    Let's try to help SRT save/sell the GEN V.

    Many dealers that I went to would not let me test drive the new 2014 SRT Jeep. I bought mine from the one that did. Not a single Dealer, not even the one I bought from offered to show me their Viper. They all had at least one (14 Dealers). Much less try to sell me one. God forbid that I may have...

    Its worth saving, help john help you

    The Alley does not have an interest in the VCA's success and were only happy to point out that the VCA didn't care about it either. Hopefully things will get better. If not there may another club. That was caused by the VCA not the Alley. I hope the VCA and the Alley both remain.

    Let's try to help SRT save/sell the GEN V.

    In the early years Viper buyers sold their friends on the car, The mags hated it and trashed it whenever possible. The opportunity was lost on this generation because Viper lovers weren't given their cars first. Vipers need to be sold by other owners. Dealers do not have a clue. So you have 600...

    Let's try to help SRT save/sell the GEN V.

    I understand the thoughts and theories as to why they are/aren't selling. I want to know , can you be persuaded to buy one with one or two changes ? Or is SRT so far off the mark even the no top/ no windows diehards no longer will buy one.

    Yes the economy sucks. All brands have high performance cars that are not moving. The car has to be great enough that you are willing to write that check. Whether it one check or 120. In the case of my friends the cheapest replacement car for their Viper 115K and the highest is 200K so they can...

    Let's try to help SRT save/sell the GEN V.

    The one thing 700-750 factory hp. I would buy one tomorrow. These things are on my wish list but any one of them alone would not make me buy the car but are listed in order of preference. 2. PCM that would allow modifications. 3. Some type of automatic transmission. 4. Carbon ceramic brakes. 5...

    Ray Charles can see they aren't moving. If Fiat thought we were so loyal we would by whatever they decided to give us, they now know we won't. I have 5 very good friends who all were multiple Viper owners have owned an average of 3 new Vipers each. Only 1 still has one (2009 ACR). All are...

    OK. One of U out there must be working on boost. Give it up.

    Jack, I don't mean the price of the car. I mean those who won't unlock the PCM. They are protecting their product so well they are killing the car it was designed for. Leaving their technology without a car to put it in. As far as GEN II they could be modified day one. Provided you could find...

    We have a Winner. Since it would be an off road PCM anyway. Codes...Codes...we don't need your stinking Codes. lol

    Mark and Tony, I think we all agree that SRT has built the best Viper ever. Too bad, that for financial, government or management decisions it is being kept from reaching it's full potential. As sales are falling the new buyers can't help bring the car back to it's glory with such restrictions...

    My concern is that tripping codes and going into limp mode on a GEN IV can be caused with just an air filter change. There is a race PCM available for the GEN IV but as yet no one has added a supercharger. Why not ? Six years and no company has stepped up with a kit. Is it because the computer...

    Nine Ball, The problem would'nt be the supercharger. It would be the computer. Of which there has been no official statement made that they are creating one. Don't you think it would be priority one to get one out, considering the current sales slump ? It would have to allow the O2's and the...

    Sorry, can't buy the fact that a car dealership would modify a car and open themselves up to lawsuits and the rath of the EPA. Such a computer that would allow this type of "off-road only" use does'nt seem probable. There isn't anything positive that SRT would gain from it. It might sell a few...

    VCA membership

    At the very least past/current owners who are not paying members should be referred to as Alumni. To call a past owner or member a enthusiast seems to be a way to shame them for not joining the club. People who sold their cars can't become members anyway. Information given by an Alumni would...

    Feeling Guilty

    Don't let sorrow trick you into forgetting all the positive things you have done. Dogs don't judge. Their love is unconditional. I have taken on the same decision. We carry the burden for the rest of the family. You did what was best.

    Where does the VCA go from here (Positive Thread)!!!

    Look at chapters that have consistently ran their club properly. Meaning holding proper open election of board members and keeping yearly financials distributed to members and be able to prove it. Then only those chapter board members should be considered for election to National VCA. A good...

    To Sell Or Keep 03 Vs 08

    Went from supercharged Gen III to Gen IV. Never looked back.

    Dealer just called 2014 ordering open??

    In the quarter mile that would equate up to 40 car lengths. I have seen the MP4 run 7 tenths quicker in the quarter mile than the Gen V. That's at least 7 car lengths to 125mph. So another 13 lengths from 125-150 is an a** whooping.

    Any custom orders out of 'production scheduled' status

    Actually 400 less miles. I have been told no on factory pick-up even though Ralph said I could. Seems to be in keeping with the high appreciation for being a repeat buyer.

    Any custom orders out of 'production scheduled' status

    You are not kidding. I probably won't see mine for at least a another 10 days. I'm debating picking it up in Nebraska and driving it home.

    Any custom orders out of 'production scheduled' status

    I originally ordered the leather seats and no stripes. I changed my mind and dropped the seats for the stripes. I thought that it would be easier to get used leather seats if I didn't like the base ones. There would never be a chance of getting those factory painted stripes at a later date. You...

    Black SRT with Silver stripes being the only option. Plain Jane just like my first one. Only it was Emerald Green.

    Any custom orders out of 'production scheduled' status

    SRT has been trying to give me good info but it hasn't been completely accurate. I was told it would be shipped on 6/18. I don't think it is on the truck just yet.
