    Viper production slowed by one third due to sluggish sales

    I have a feeling that if the Viper went to fuel cell technology for a Gen V, a majority of owners on this forum would be buying up previous generation Vipers instead of the Gen V. I know I would. No thanks, I'll stick with my archaic "100 year old" engine technology. I love my pistons....all...

    The very best Viper ever built !!

    Yes, that's a bit sarcastic on the computer comment. It barely interferes. In fact, I did a little fish tail last night with it FULL ON....and you can easily turn it all off. I am a Gen II lover as well....have several. Went to a dinner last night....chose the Gen V....went to pickup...

    Got To Tour CAAP and Prefix

    Wow, nice pics! Thanks for posting! I really like the GTS stripes on the SRT hood. Even though I have a GTS, I think I still favor the SRT hood with the additional vents. Did they have a fully built TA, or just a partial on the assembly line? As for that white interior, wow, that is a...

    Photographing the gen V

    Yes, it sure has grown on me. I'm finding myself visiting the garage for no reason other than to stare at it. :)

    The very best Viper ever built !!

    Yes, THE BEST. Have to admit, I was skeptical they could maintain the "Viper" menacing feel without all the new additions, but this car is fantastic.

    Petite LeMans

    The more power to you Chris!!! VIR was a BIG TIME BUST on SRT's part!!! And with SRT charging $140 per person and $255 for two, wires must have been crossed somewhere. I could see one hiccup or two, but VIR was pure misrepresentation and all the facts you listed above were TRUE. I was glad I...

    So the Viper isn't one of the 5 Most american cars???

    All of those vehicles appear to be under 50K and general everyday vehicles. They must have some criteria based on list price of the vehicle and maybe volume of sales. Now, if it was "One of the Most 5 American Iconic Cars", I bet the Viper would be in the list.....at least I would hope. :)

    Viper production slowed by one third due to sluggish sales

    Despite my pre-ownership concerns, I definitely don't feel the Gen V has lost its rawness despite all the technology additions and changes. I agree with Nine Ball in that improving the quality and fit finish of the interior/electronics doesn't detract from the rawness feel of the Gen V. Being...

    Viper production slowed by one third due to sluggish sales

    As already mentioned, there were definitely some mistakes with the marketing, delivery, and the dealership mess. But I have to say, with 3K+ miles on it, I am loving this Gen V the more I drive it. I've had all generations and out of ALL of them, the Gen II has ALWAYS been my favorite car to...

    Considering selling my 09 SSG ACR?

    Not to hijack, but I never thought much of the lighter blue shade until I saw your ACR. That thing was SICK!!! I was seriously considering it to be honest.

    Cheer on SRT's Viper GTSR during the ALMS @ VIR! Oct 5th

    Well, it was HOT, but a nice day. This is the first time I have ever attended one of these races and really enjoyed it. There were 5 Vipers in attendance. SRT provided a corral parking, a great lunch, and we got to hang out in the air conditioned hospitality lounge. The only problem I had...

    Gotta ask...

    Sold my SSG to get a Gen V. Love the Gen V, but miss my SSG badly. Looking for another SSG so if you don't buy it, send me the details. :) Don't worry about the attention. ALL Vipers draw attention and the SSG is simply one of those cars you could stare at all day. You won't be disappointed.

    VOI9 cars....is there a registry

    Thanks....funny thing is I stopped looking for a while. One day my phone rings and it was Tom Sessions who heard through the grapevine I was looking for one and "knew a guy". Car was still in the wrapper....50 miles on it....couldn't pass it up. Yes, definitely worth the wait Chelsea. :)

    Viper production slowed by one third due to sluggish sales

    If you compare apples to apples, the SRT Viper is a little more money than the outgoing Gen IV.....and I think it is worth it. However, the price of the car is over $100K no matter how you look at it which probably detered some. I kind of like the SRT stripes, but I bet some were disappointed...
