Suggestion for future 1 of 50 VCA cars

[MoparMan]

It seems that the current run of 50 VCA Edition coupes has met with less enthusiasm than other VCA Edition Vipers. I know part of this is due to the lack of promotion of these cars, but I believe that a big part of it is that the red and white coupe seems to be just another Viper with a special paint scheme. DCX has taken all the thunder out of this approach with its Mamba cars, Commemorative Edition cars and First Edition cars. Whether or not DCX recognizes it, one of the big impediments to selling the gen IIIs sitting on lots is the bench racing going on against the new Z06. To this end, I offer the following suggestion:

For future driveaway and raffle cars is there any chance of the VCA offering a gen III with the same package of Mopar Performance parts that were on the Copperhead Coupe at SEMA? I think this would make the car alot more appealing to the members than just a special paint scheme and decals. That's not to say that the paint scheme and decals should go away, just that they should be augmented with something more. If the parts can't be installed on the car when delivered, then offer a coupon with the car for those parts that the buyer can redeem after they take delivery of the vehicle.

I agree also. I have thought about getting a coupe and doing all the things that were done on the SEMA coupe to get the 554 h.p. and 583 fpt. without supercharging the car. I wonder what the cost would be. I know there was a post on the placard on the car at SEMA. Can anyone add up what it would cost to put the cam, headers, chip, exhaust etc. on the car?

Great idea

The question Dodge is going to ask is how much more are you willing to pay for the VCA/Sema 1 of 50?

I like the idea though. Those cars would of sold out over night

 

[DodgeViper01]

That is a good idea. Need something drastic, not just a special color since we have so many "special" editions already.

If they want to stick to special paint, how about something like that Red Raffle SRT-10 they had a year or so back with the flames? THAT WAS HOT!

 

[Andrew/USPWR]

I'm mighty partial to the Steel Grey

What if they auctioned off the Carbon concept?

 

[C.Thomson]

I agree... I just purchased a new coupe, but would have definetly bought a VCA car if it had 50 more HP than the black one that is on the way. Special needs to be special in other ways besides paint!

What if they auctioned off the Carbon concept?

Having driven that car personally, I would strongly discourage anybody from going near that car (just let me know where the auction is and don't tell anybody else!!).
