    Nothing sounds better in the world that Gen.2 Cam....That was so bad ass stock... Had a 96 RT for about 4 months,ditched it as soon as I saw that B/W GTS and heard that cam...That was a Viper.Nothing ran with that car at the time.... That is the position needs to be in now a days..

    Ralph wants/needs an automatic

    Be real,one of the reasons very few people are buying Vipers is because it is only is offered in manual...Do you really think technology will go backwards ...DCT and Technology is the way forward and if SRT does not embrace this ,Viper will fail,sooner than later.. GM is moving forward with...

    It is all good defending the Gen 5,it is the best Viper ever made. I have driven many Gen 5s and owned 3 Vipers myself. However,the Gen.5 is way behind the new high tect HP cars in so many ways.I personally know 2 other Viper owners, besides myself that SRT lost a customers because of the...

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    They may say the Viper line will open in June.You can bet, if all these new Vipers continue sitting on lots,it will not. To save the Viper,SRT will have to offer some really good incentives to sell the inventory(give them away).Then, if they produce a 2015 model,it will have to have better...

    Boy. Some some people are so fickle.

    Excellent explanation to of the trans... Shifting a six speed manual is very cool and fun.I did it for 14 years with my 3 Vipers. Just saying it,should be a option so people that want it can have it.SRT is very capable in making it happen if they wish. This will save the Viper in years to...

    Boy. Some some people are so fickle.

    Chevy can say the Corvette can shift faster than the Porsche DCT,their is no way.The DCTs on the Turbo 911s are instant upshifts/downshifts.How can one get faster than instant and compared to the shifting thru the gears I do not a human could shift a performance like that continuously .So,if you...

    Boy. Some some people are so fickle.

    Bob,SRT should hire you to promote the Gen.5 Vipers.... The TA ,in my opinion is the best Viper Dodge/SRT has ever produced..Your Black TA may have a duplicate one here in Palm beach soon...
