    Just got a real drive and ride in a Gen 5.

    Did you sit in a GTS without the $7500 interior leather upgrade? If so, what were your impressions?

    Great Color

    Stryker red it is. Depending on the lighting there are orange and burgundy tones.

    Gen V Autoweek

    3,354 (1,521.4) – Viper model 3,297 (1,495.5) – Viper model with SRT Track Package 3,431 (1,556.3) – Viper GTS model 3,374 (1,530.4) – Viper GTS model with SRT Track Package The difference between the GTS and SRT models is 77lbs. As I perused the VOI 2012 pictures and looked at some of the...

    Viper web page updated

    Yeah, I too like this combo. How about hyper black colored wheels and exterior carbon fiber trim?

    For those that had driven a Gen V at VOI

    I spent some time as a passenger with Dick Wilkens behind the wheel and he made a point of addressing this issue. He illustrated how the problem had been corrected by way of downshifting several times and pointing to the tachometer: the tach did not fall dramatically between shifts. The fact...

    Any good shots of the car colors?

    I agree, I don't care for the black wheels/tires that disappear into the black wheel wells. I'm guessing the stryker red show car wheels are hyper black?

    Any good shots of the car colors?

    Yeah I don't get the labeling. Hyper suggests blacker than black, is this color more of a dark grey?

    Build your own - when?

    Too bad the lighting is so dark in the pictures, I don't think the colors are very true. They mixed up the labeling on the black and grey stripes. Other than that it's an improvement.

    Any color you want as long as it's yellow, red or blue. ha

    Any good shots of the car colors?

    I took this from my camera phone in Idaho Springs last Sunday afternoon. Dick Winkles, Mike Jobe and two other engine techs met me there so I could see the cars in person. They were staying in Keystone and agreed to meet me half way. I took a ride with Dick in the yellow GTS. These were...

    Drone

    I spent about a half an hour as a passenger in a 2013 GTS # 12 production mule and I detected no drone. About 20 of the 30 was spent on the freeway at low rpms.

    Build your own - when?

    I guess once they've priced out all of the options we'll be closer to a build your own configurator.

    Dealer just confirmed 20k markup

    The forum dealers are here to make your day. :)

    Performance Numbers Gen.5

    Yeah I agree we are at the mercy of the tester and there are so many variables, but every car tested is subject to the same varying conditions. Car and Driver used to account for all the varying conditions and apply some kind of formula to the results. I'm assuming they don't do this anymore as...

    Performance Numbers Gen.5

    I'm predicting 0 -60 in 3.2 and 1/4 mile in 11.2 @ 130 MPH. :2tu:

    So are we allowed ...

    Would you have enough room to where a helmet? At 6.3 were you comfortable, or wishing you had more leg and head room?

    So are we allowed ...

    Bob - could you comment on the fit and finish of the car both inside and out and in particular the quality of interior materials? Has Ralph attained his objective of attracting the Porsche and Audi crowd; in other words when you climb inside the **** pit of the new Viper would you feel at home...

    Chrysler dealers eager to sell 2013 SRT Viper

    Yeah I agree with most of what you say, except that dealers should have the right to charge what they want and the buying public has the right to walk away. It's called free market and the market will ultimately decide. I will never pay over sticker for a car, it's just not worth it to me.

    Chrysler dealers eager to sell 2013 SRT Viper

    Then those who don't will just have to pass and buy something else....maybe a lamborghini? The Viper is just about to become more exclusive, for better or worse. QUOTE=ViperJon;3109969]Define "local". With the reported 100+ authorized dealers nationwide, the odds are probably not.

    Chrysler dealers eager to sell 2013 SRT Viper

    Seems to me a moot point with forum dealers wiiling to sell at MSRP and ship the car to you. The question is once you get the car, do you have a local dealer for service.

    Track Pack off Ralphs Twitter

    Here's another video of the yellow track pack car in action. I'm not sure why "car nerd" didn't have the correct specs that were available at the time of the video. When the driver's door is closed you hear a quality thunk; very nice.... This car is looking more and more like a quality piece...

    2013 Option Prices

    Ralph said option pricing would be released in October, which is when the dealers will start calling those who are on their list.

    Lighter and quicker than the current outgoing ACR

    While comparing the Gen V to the current ZR1 you have to keep in ming that the ZR1 has a very long fifth gear and sixth gear is strictly an overdrive gear. So although the ZR1 posted a 7:19 around the Nurburgring, it never got above 183 mph on the back straight away (6:30 mark on)...

    2013 On the Track

    I agree...an extra 600 rpms would just about be perfect. This V10 is stronger than dirt, why not?
