OK guys, it's "tonight"...I did manage to spend a few hours out with my beautiful wife and look forward to hopping into the sac with her when I'm done posting the additional pics.
To answer a few questions:
ART 138: The fuel filler cap and it's surrounding frame is all machined aluminum. It...
Thanks for the Kudos, guys! Damn, I guess I was sooooo geeked when I made the first post and changed the "streeted" date, I lost track of the month, lol! Actually, I'll bet most of us wish it still was September so we had a little more time to cruise before the snow season starts...
We had planned a factory pick up. I was informed yesterday (for unknown reasons) that the car had been loaded onto a Reliable carrier and was on it's way. We tried to get the car unloaded without any success. The car appeared here in Grand Rapids today at about 1pm. Although I'm a little...
I'm effing speechless. Need to drive this monster, then will post alot more and pix as well. #83/200. Worth the wait. Everything that Jon B said and then some. Gotta drive, gotta drive, gotta drive....am I geeked or what? Thank you, Santa!!!! More later, kidzzzzzz! :headbang:
My 2001 Bumblebee has been washed only once! Let me elaborate. When I was leaving CAAP with the GTS, the car groomer advised that I clean the car with a spray bottle which had a mixture of 1/3 Ethyl or Isopropyl alcohol and 2/3 distilled water. He also advised obtaining a California Duster...
From DCX:
Hope this helps us keep track of our "Babies" !

HEADS UP!!!
I received word from my dealer thru our DC inside source that my Coupe is in inspection. Barring any unforseen circumstances, it shouldn't be long before I'm sitting behind the wheel. We have been advised that they no longer offer the tour when you take delivery at the factory...

Got my VIN on August 16th as well for 1st Edition 06 SRT-10 Coupe. The last four digits are : 0488. I have been advised to expect a completion date on Sep. 14th. I think it has been established that the VIN's are not consecutive. Looks as though we probably will be able to document first...
Turbo63: No offence taken!
I think it's great that we have this forum to share ideas and experiences. I only wish I had known about it prior to my GTS purchase.
My very first Viper driving experience was on the day that I drove it out the back door at CAAP. It was a sunny afternoon when I...
I'm the guy that wrote the statement of which Turbo63 speaks.
"a recent post reply compared driving an SRT 10 to driving a car on black ice - waiting for traction to give out"
Perhaps you did miss something. The statement was a metaphor (a statement that describes as or like). I still stand...
I've had the good fortune of owning a 2001 GTS and the 2003 SRT-10 early edition (I was one of the "lottery" winners). Here's my take:
I like the "feel" of the GTS much better than the SRT-10. I felt as though I knew where the car was in relation to the road in the GTS, whereas in the SRT I...
Just checked the Registry. I stand corrected. Blue and White in 1996 and 1997. One would hope that since they've "been there and done that" in 96-97, maybe Team Viper will maintain exclusivity this time. Probably too much to hope for, though. If the demand is there for more Blue / White...
Well, I guess the VIN question has been answered (Thanks and congrats 1Tony1!)
Since 1Tony1's VIN is 100277 and mine is 100488, that's more than 200, so the numbering is non-sequential.
Black Mamba, my shipper lists an equipment code "ALS" with a description of "First Edition Group", so...
sween is correct!
Per DC press release (edited to save space):
Auburn Hills, Mich., Aug 18, 2005 - All-new 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe priced at $83,995
Boasts Viper-signature triple 500s: 505-cubic-inch V-10 engine, 500 horsepower, 525 pound-feet of torque
Zero to 60 mph in under 4...
Of course this is only a "best guess", but let's consider the following:
Bob K above has VIN 100301. Mine ends as 100488.
1. It's a "known fact" that they only plan to build 200 of the first editions. Either Bob K is the luckiest bastard around getting #1 of the first edition run and I'm...
I was given a "tentative" complete date of Sep. 14, 2005 by my dealer. (The date given by an "insider" at CAAP) Just got VIN and went D1 as of Friday, Aug 12, 2005. Hope this gives encouragement for those of us whom are "anxiously" waiting!
