Who cares if it's from the factory... Go to a tire rack and pick up some discounted MPSC's and put them on. It's not rocket science and you'll save your street tires for the street.
I'd have to guess that they attach a high price to the paint job to keep it more exclusive. they just need to expand the lineup of premium colors... A deep green with a golden base like Stryker Red would be gorgeous... cough cough.
IIRC they reduced the electronic delay from 400ms to 20 in the Gen V. They have to have a tiny delay in order to integrate the throttle into all of the software that uses its position as an input.
In this video, SRT discusses the process that goes into making the Stryker Red color.
Apparently the process takes 8 hours to complete.

Past 5500 RPS is more friction, which means more energy is wasted just turning the parts of the engine. If I want something that's fast and sounds like a sewing machine, I'll buy a crotch rocket!
Ok the ZR1 comment was falsely attributed to you and i apologize for that. But you keep bringing up a moot issue: If there wasn't enough money in SRT's engine budget to develop a EPA/CARB-certified 750-hp engine, then there simply wasn't the money to develop it, no matter what future customers...
Now there's a few weasel words: some people feel XXX is true, others people feel XXX is true. Some people are idiots, and Some people are geniuses. People shouldn't expect SRT to cater to their every need and want all the time. If someone doesn't feel comfortable plunking down the money for an...
About the Viper's PCM. IIRC, and i'm 90% sure i'm correct on this, All of the encryption to the PCM is done by a third party, SRT doesn't have access to the encryption codes. However, that doesn't mean MOPAR can't make an offroad-only PCM... though it doesn't mean they can either. you'd have...
Most of the hostility I see is from previous Gen owners towards SRT and potential Gen V customers. Most of the complaining and whining is not constructive or proactive in the least bit and may serve to drive down sales of the new snake. The old-gen diehards seem to completely ignore the law of...
Not to mention the LE's price tag already has its special features built into it, including the dual white stripe/blue paint job. That being said, I support the dealers' right to put whatever they want on the sticker. If you don't like what one dealer asks, simply tell him you're going to take...
Hey mark, I was wondering if any of your customers have scheduled an exhaust upgrade for the Gen V. If so, you should ask them to make a video of the sound, I'm curious to hear how the new snake sounds with a freer-flowing setup.
