    Gen 5 viper value retention after 2017 brand discontinuing

    Look at the previous gen viper when it went extinct. Did it become a collector? Buy it to drive it. There will more than likely be a next gen viper and history will repeat itself.

    ACR seat option vs aftermarket

    Excellent point, enough said! I had forgotten about the "free" carbon brake package with the interior.

    ACR seat option vs aftermarket

    I'm pricing out my expected 1 of 1 build and debating whether the ACR interior option of $6000 is worth its value, specifically the alcantara seats. For those who track their cars, do you find the stock seats adequately bolstered and supportive? My initial reaction is to get the non-ACR...

    2016 or 2017?

    Did we ever hear whether the contract was indeed signed to close the plant? Also, is everyone assuming that a plant shutdown would also discontinue the production of the viper vs transferring build to another facility?

    Cant wait for MOPARs CF goodies? Seibon to the rescue

    Is the Seibon piece all CF? Or just top and bottom layer with fiberglass in between?

    check engine light right 500 miles...

    It would've been nice if you saved some of that oil for Blackstone to do an oil sample analysis.

    paint issues--please help

    This would've been a better story if Chrysler took ownership of the issue and repaired the defects from the beginning. Good to see forum influence and the community help you thru, but I certainly hope this isn't the norm to seek warranty claims from SRT.

    check engine light

    This is the drive-by-wire system. Either the sensor is faulty or the drive actuator is bad.

    check engine light

    After you determine what is normal, as far as the duration & triggers of lightning go, what's your next step? I don't see this playing out very well if you refuse to take your car to a dealer for service. I would be itching to drive the car if I were you.

    check engine light

    It's a manufacturer's warranty, not a dealer's warranty. Find a good dealer in your area and have it serviced. It will be honored regardless where you purchased the car from. Hopefully it's as simple as a battery replacement!

    check engine light

    That's a big leap of assumptions. Have a dealer review your issue under warranty. Personally I wouldn't try to fix it yourself, which can complicate your warranty claim.

    What makes the Gen5 worth $100K?

    Ariel Atoms aren't particularly impressive, at least the ones I've seen on the track. I was considering a Formula Mazda (or the like), but would really like a street/track duty vehicle. As of now, looks like the GenV TA version with a change in suspension would fit the bill. I'll probably...

    What makes the Gen5 worth $100K?

    I'm big on aero, best shocks money can buy and a good set of R comps. I'm personally not favorable to any electronics as in traction control and electronic dampening. Give me a basic car that does the job well, providing confidence inspiring feedback. A nice smooth gear box, manual vs...

    What makes the Gen5 worth $100K?

    Not looking into any luxury packages and comparing base vs base models, the Z06 is significantly less than Gen5. Since the car will be modified to suit my driving style, I'm not looking to purchasing any OEM track packages. Let's not turn this into a corvette vs viper post, trust me... I'll...

    What makes the Gen5 worth $100K?

    I've been lurking these forums as I've gained some interest in the Gen5 viper. Being a track junkie, performance is high on my priorities and place the Viper and Corvettes as the cars to beat. I'm somewhat surprised at the price tag SRT has set, and figured the bulk of the cost attributes to the...
