    Why I’ve chosen the Gen V…a cross-shopper’s perspective

    I'd hold off on buying another car... you could get your wife a hellcat-powered charger before too long;{)

    GTS vs SRT vs TA

    Options only available on the GTS that might be worth it (imo): -Stryker Red tinted pearl... one of the most stunning colors ever on a production car (i'll admit i'm biased to shades of red) -OEM full-length stripes... although some combos look even better in the SRT scheme -wider spread of...

    2014 Viper Projected Monthly Production

    And if you'd pay attention, I said that this was the plan in MAY, not now. Things HAVE changed. what would be interesting is a month-by-month comparison of these projections compared to the actual production.

    Gen V ACR Needed For Ring Time

    Screw GM's MR active dampers... This system generates its own power and enables jack-less wheel removal. http://www.levantpower.com/automotive/ And since ZF is involved in the development, and Fiat/Chrysler has a pretty good ralationship with ZF... perhaps the Gen V ACR could become an early...

    Who has put headers on their car?

    iirc, this is because they moved the engine laterally by an inch or two

    SRT a brand or a trim level?

    SRT was spun-off as a standalone brand for budgeting purposes, I believe... the same reason Ram was spunoff into its own brand. Each brand now has its own budgets to work with, its own management, etc. As for the nomenclature, i agree that they should find some kind of standard, but the...

    How will the Gen V perform as a collectible that retains value over time?

    Yeah, peer inside that crystal ball of yours and predict the state of the economy 40 years from now and the desirability of this specific car.

    How will the Gen V perform as a collectible that retains value over time?

    really? because they've sold close to 600 (out of 800 built) so far, in half a model year(starting in late April) while missing out on the spring sales rush. All the comments about not selling came from the fact that CAAP slowed production during winter months, which is a normal thing.

    SRT all access.....fail

    according to Ralph Gilles, Viper is closing in on 600 units sold so far

    Told ya...

    I believe that the tires will be specially formulated for the Gen V... The name has more to do with the specific tread pattern than a particular compound. Heck, the Corsas developed for the Gen V are formulated differently from front to rear. combine this with the tire-specific molds they will...

    iirc 2014 models now have functioning brake ducts (they added finisher hoses to the ducts) can anybody confirm this?

    First 2014 Billet Silver Viper

    Do you have any actual statistical proof or even evidence to support your claim? how does one quantify "taste" or "class"? because you don't like something it's tasteless or has no class? what is your measuring stick? or are you just talking out your ass because your chrome wheels are starting...

    Told ya...

    NOt only this, but Pobst admitted that he was braking early in the viper because of the softer brake feel (at least in the GTS). Also, the MT article conveniently omitted the fact that the ZR1's brake fluid had begun to boil by the end of the testing (CCBS be damned!). and Snakebitten... what...

    test drove a Gen 5 today

    do you mean the launch edition? the first 150 cars, iirc, were launch editions... exclusive b/w paint job, and a GTS blue badge. imo they made too many of them... most vipers are one-off compared to a launch edition.

    Told ya...

    Woah, woah, everybody, it's obvious that Black Mamba speaks for every previous Gen owner... All I'm getting from his posts is "the Gen V won't compensate enough for my lack of self-confidence because it won't let me win all the bench racing I plan to do"
