Re: Dodge *****!! - Why Is Dodge Releasing 2005 SRT-10\'s So Fast?

OK,since you guys are obviously finger happy, and totally off topic, here's my 2 cents - At VOI8, Dodge displayed a brand new 05 Red SRT-10. Sticker price ? $85,995.00. So the price has gone up a grand. However, upon close inspection, there is absolutely no difference between the 04's and 05's unless you were unlucky enough to buy a yellow SRT-10 or will wait for an orange one.

My stock 04 SRT-10 ? 149MPH down the front straight at TMS (in 4th gear!) and an absolute thrill to drive on the road course. The Dodge Viper is a race car with headlights and a nice interior. There is no such thing as a race car holding its value - whether you drive it or not !

I love you SRT-10 guys so much that I'm thinking I might let you in the viper club even with your Gen 3's.

All smiles here..... I'm just yanking your chains.

Motor Trend - October 2004 on page 42.

Sales Trends.......2004.......2003.......% Change


>Dodge Viper.........984.....1245.......-21<

That number looks pretty dismal. If the trend continues it would be down to only 500-600 units in a couple of years :eek: And 0 in 3-4 years.
I thought I read somewhere that DC planned on making close to 1,800 a year. I guess it's time to go back to the drawing board, literally.

Re: Joke.

10 years ago the Viper was the Ford GT. DC needs to prioritize the Viper and make it the icon it once was.

Go for classic 60's curvy design instead of this modern Japanese- teutonic look of the current SRT models. And give it 600HP!

The Gen III are nice but they don't take your breath away like the Gen I/II models.

I don't know where you or Motor Trend get these numbers.. if you go here
http://ivr.viperclub.org/build.php you will see the total production of Vipers from 1992 to 2003. All broken down to model types,years and colors.
In 2003, 1875 Vipers were built. That is the fifth largest amount ever in one year. Numbers for 2004 aren't out yet.

I'd like to know where Motor Trend gets their info.

Yes, but you are comparing apples and oranges.

First 2003 was a coupon year, meaning the vast majority of the model year was sold before production started (1 year before in fact).

The second point is you are comparing year to year at different periods of time. To be on a common basis you would need to set sold by x months or say 2004 MY sales by September 1, etc.

Third you would have to normalize for a consistent model year timewise. That is you cannot compare a 10 month model year to a 14 month model year (and yes they do differ for some products. For instance the 2004 minivan model year was August through December (5 months) while the Sebring 2004 MY was from Jan 03 through July 04 (19 months)).

unless you were unlucky enough to buy a yellow SRT-10

You will have to explain this to me sometime. And please use small words, as I am both stupid and unlucky.

To all of you who are bashing Canada...again...
at least we can play hockey...Canada took the world cup last night! :headbang:
Brett Hull (whiner) and the rest of the US hockey team have already been golfing for a week since being wiped out of the tournament early :2tu:

I would have to agree. Dodge should get back to it's roots.

I really like Canada. They have the funniest looking money with names like "toonies & loonies". Also, every time you talk to a Canadian they remind you how much of the alphabet they have learned, "a".

However, isn't Canada winning the world cup like an Eskimo winning an igloo building contest? If you didn't win, it would have been sad.

How's about those Expos! They have to make Canada proud.

Re: Ding Ding, recess of over...............

Craig201...do you even own a Viper?

nope

Oh my god, that is classic! Craig, I am sure CODY will give you a ride in the jurasic GTS. You two can drive all day and wallow around in your negativity. Misery loves company.

I'm not miserable just critical of things I don't particularily like. If I was in love with the SRT you wouldn't say a damn thing about my lack of ownership. The thing is it doesn't bother me at all. When I get the urge there's a nice blak or blue white stripe GTS waiting to go for a rip.
