    Very close to becoming a part of the Viper nation. Need forum input

    Thank for feedback. I know they are not substitutes. Let's not get on that path again. For the record, my last drag results were 11.5 at 126mph on street tires and 11.1 at 129mph on street drags with a simple tune.

    Very close to becoming a part of the Viper nation. Need forum input

    Thanks for the tips guys. The one I am looking at have stripes so that could help with the wrapping. 05commemorative: this is exactly what I am concerned about. I don't have the means to have 2 cars. I was in love with the Viper when it came out and I bought the CLS but with previous American...

    Very close to becoming a part of the Viper nation. Need forum input

    Since the forum is pretty small, I am sure you guys know my history so I will be to the point: -Local dealer has finally said yes to a test drive of an SRT and a GTS :) -I have 2 cars (one out state) and one local that I am debating on and here are my questions: 1-Is there any of you daily...

    gen v resale value

    Well that thread went to hell quickly. As a side note, my local dealer has 6 Vipers and I went last week with full intent to trade my car for one of them as the salesman said they are ready to deal. After a joke of a $10K discount of a GTS, they also came back from their word that I could drive...

    gen v resale value

    I think like all that 50s is too low, maybe low 70s for SRTs. Let's keep this thread open and let's revisit this at Xmas time to see who's right. By the way congrats on the new snake. My local dealer finally has 6 in stock and will let me drive one. It will happen next week :). His discount is...

    Anybody Have The Scoop On.The 2015/2016 Viper??????

    I apologize for not having the means to buy the Viper as a toy and be able to drop $125K on demand... I had already made my decision on my DD but would still like to drive the car and potentially buy it used when price comes down.

    Anybody Have The Scoop On.The 2015/2016 Viper??????

    I went to the Naples dealer. Its not like I came in with a neon SRT, even though people in this town drive a basic jeep or cadillac and have 500 million net worth so sales people know not to judge the book by its cover. The car would be my daily driver so it is imperative I get to drive and have...

    My new GT3-R inspired GTS

    Your snake looks phenomenal. Congrats on the work. Stripes really make the car stand out.

    Anybody Have The Scoop On.The 2015/2016 Viper??????

    When I came in check book in hand ready to give a deposit in late 2013, the car was not out yet. I went to the dealer twice now in 2014 and asked if I could drive it. They replied "unless you are willing to buy it, it is not happening"... I recently drove an AMV12S and new 997TT and the dealer...

    To those who predict skies falling on Viper on account of upcoming Z06

    The bottom line is that the Vette is selling very well and the Viper is not. Per Sergio's own word: he wants to “establish a clarity of brand positioning" and sales numbers are still the ultimate factor in deciding the fate of any given model. The SRT8 300 is supposedly dead and we all hope the...

    Anybody Have The Scoop On.The 2015/2016 Viper??????

    I believe many approved of the decision to have SRT be its own brand as it allows more freedom and brand differentiation from Dodge who is a not a stellar brand. Decisions like these are obviously made at the top level. If you don't think it has cost millions to advertise the new brand and now...

    Anybody Have The Scoop On.The 2015/2016 Viper??????

    I have not driven the car because 1. the dealer will not allow it 2.I have not found anyone on the forum that would allow it (I have asked a few times). Regarding the power, last time I was at the track, posted an 11.2 with my CLS and just came back in December from a 2 day Laguna Seca driving...

    Anybody Have The Scoop On.The 2015/2016 Viper??????

    Rather than spending time and money on how to make the Viper better known and appreciated, the marketing people have come up with the brilliant idea of make the Viper a Dodge again. REALLY? Meanwhile GM is filling up with demand orders for a 100K Z06 that has not hit the streets yet...

    Anybody Have The Scoop On.The 2015/2016 Viper??????

    A lot of pessimism here... I agree that someone high up needs to fired for the monumental failure of the release and the marketing of the Gen V. The fact that many enthusiasts or simply kids (future buyers) do not know there is a new Gen V is a cardinal sin. Many of us (including moi) have an...

    2014 GTS Carbon TA...

    That color is gorgeous. If the paint process is the same as Mercedes, it is much easier to take care off than regular paint. People should not be concerned about the paint job.

    A DEAL I just couldn't turn down.

    Incredible deal and great color combo. Congrats

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    And those handful of cars are selling very well, manufacturer not closing the plant or not cancelling on racing events (GTR, 458, Aventador, MP12, P997TT, ZR-1). I never stated that it does not have the straight line performance, it just does not have the superiority it used to have with the Gen...

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    There we go again, you claim to not be defensive yet you state that people like me are irritating and off point. A forum like this is for people to give their opinion. I am not bashing the Viper just giving my opinion on why SRT has not sold more Vipers which is the reason why the plant is...

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    09Venom: again those are lame excuses, when the first Viper came out, it was a hit because it kicked b&&t everywhere. Now all the forum says is that it is a track star. That is my point. if SRT wants to sell more cars ie not shut down for a month which is the point of the OP, it has to be a star...

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    . Porsche allows the customer to customize everything down to the color of the seatbelt and charge the hell out of it. Porsche made $23K net profit for the VW group in 2013. SRT went the other direction and there are actually very few items you can customize from the factory.

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    If you want top notch service from your local dealer, you need to buy the car from him. I am not going to drive 50 miles to Fort Myers or 120 to Fort Lauderdale to test drive a vehicle especially when the local competition can lend me a used Aston for a night. I expect the local dealer to be...

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    Paul: you compare the Gen V to the previous Gens. It'd better be better in all aspects... There are not enough of the hard core Viper owners to make SRT continue and it needs to attract more buyers. Most of those owners are so defensive that they rub the newbies like me the wrong way. Most...

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    Well, it is sad the see SRT is struggling as the Viper is an icon but SRT failed miserably at attracting buyers like me. I was in the market a year ago for a daily driver. I am fully aware I was cross shopping vehicles but my list included the Gen V Viper, Used AM Vantage, new CLS63, M6 GC, F...
