    DV400069 Is home.

    Re: DV400069 Is home.... Anytime, chief! But mostly, congrats on the new car. Hope it's good to you for many many miles. Write us a road report as soon as you can. So far, how do you like the sound system? Is it worth the premium?

    Re: DV400069 Is home.... Oh, that had the chick magnet in it. A Mustang owner felt he needed it worse.

    My Amazing Gen 5 Viper Adventure!

    What? You put 2,500 miles on a Viper? It's completely worn out and fit only for the crusher. I'll be over there tomorrow with a rollback and $200. Great to read all this. Factory shots are really appreciated since as you know Bowling Green is a no photo zone, although I wonder whether...

    From frame to it's here, it will be delivered tomorrow!!!

    Letting a car out of the dealer's door without all its documentation is crummy, and inexcusable, whether it's a $150k exotic or a $15k college car. Would you believe I've had since January a PDF download of the 2013 User Guide that I found somewhere online, probably at driveSRT. It's not all...

    Is this true or not about the new viper?

    Ya--you're not biased. Not at all. =o) But you could be right. I was thoroughly impressed with a couple minutes' sit-down in a GTS. The seat fit just right and the interior was everything I could ask for, and it didn't even have the Laguna package. If I could swing the deal--which would...

    Is this true or not about the new viper?

    Try to look very old and wealthy. Or look pitifully eager and hold out your phone and say "will you take a picture of me in that one you haven't sold yet?" http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/ee328/chrisatty/977207_10151502624879332_1643156442_o1_zps83fd2653.jpg Show them a shoulder if you...

    Anyone want to buy a Gen V from a dealership that still calls it a Dodge?

    I reviewed my video of the white/black striped GTS at my nearest dealer, looking carefully at the sticker, and you know what, you are right and I was ... less right. Nothing wrong with that. No matter what factory it rolled out of, like driveSRT says, "it consumes you." Sounds like a cheesy...

    So much better than expected

    Good on ya, mate! Congrats for your happy day after a too-long wait. My closest Dodge oops SRT dealer told me last week when I was taking pix of their white/black stripes GTS that they had a "metallic red" one inbound. I said, you mean Stryker Red? The sales rep walked over to the column...

    Insurance for Viper as primary vehicle?

    I've been with State Farm for over 25 years, the last seven with a sports car as my only vehicle. I asked today about a 2013 Viper being my only vehicle and they said sure, for $2,100 a year, which is about double the premium for my 2011 Corvette base coupe. Well now I know what's the worst...

    Anyone want to buy a Gen V from a dealership that still calls it a Dodge?

    To be fair, that's what the window sticker calls it. Example from Tomball: http://viperexchange.com/images/inventory/2013-srt-viper-new-launch-edition-adrenaline-red-track-package-for-sale-0071/window-sticker.pdf It reads at the top: "Dodge// 2013 Model Year Dodge Viper SRT Coupe." When it's...

    Friends & Family Price: $285,440

    You know what, I didn't even notice the wheels. I must have liked them or I would have remembered "man those wheels don't look right." Couldn't see the seat belts because the car was roped off and I didn't ask to open the doors. It was a busy day and the staff seemed to prefer working with...

    Friends & Family Price: $285,440

    All righty, we'll give it a try even though the image tool is telling me "invalid URL" every time now. Follow the links if you can't see the photos. The stripes are very interesting. Now you see 'em-- http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/ee328/chrisatty/P1030804_zps423ce322.jpg --now you...

    Friends & Family Price: $285,440

    Just about everything BUT Track Pack. Laguna interior, red seat belts, Mopar car cover, HK 18-speaker, and Venom-Matte wheels, only $140k MSRP. Seeing it in person makes me understand why those who can pay the juice would. I have a black Chevy hatchback but GM 41U black, as fantastic as it...

    It's getting harder to maintain my enthusiasm...

    I've been here for about a day and I already put him on ignore. There's one in every automotive forum. Putting time-wasters on ignore is about the best decision you can ever make. It's like giving yourself a free extra half-hour every day that you can use to actually work and earn money...

    The SRT dealer closest to me--call them Dealer "C"--already sold one Viper, I never saw it and don't know the specs, and now has two GTSs on the floor, one LE and one white with black stripes, and they're asking only $10k juice. They claim to have a Stryker Red coming in. I sure hope so. A...

    Gen V SRT Viper Dealer Inventory Search

    I live not far from the home of the 82d Airborne Division, the JFK Special Warfare Center and School, and other cool people, some of whom I was privileged to spend much of the weekend with. I'm glad all my friends have come home without a scratch, but they all know some who didn't. I know...
