Does this make the viper any more appealing to any of you guys? It is kind of interesting seeing some pretty large discounts being offered by manufacturers such as the GTR incentive, the lowering of the 370z MSRP recently, now the viper, and I'm sure some others. What do you guys think of this?
I like the way Dodge did rather than Nissan. The discount is going directly to the customer. Unlike Nissan where I'm reading so many posts where the dealer is telling the customer they don't know anything about a rebate. And it takes the customer to try and convince the salesman that there is a discount and that they should get it. I realize the implications going into the next year for both Nissan and Dodge. Do you think Dodge will just drop the Viper after next year?
I will say this just made the Viper more interesting to me.
I never saw it as any value over other cars that offered more performance, better drivability, more amenities for the same money (GT-R, 911C4S, etc...).
Dodge is sending us 13 and 14 owners a coupon for 15k good through January 2018 for the purchase of another viper. Let's see if the rumors of a 800hp viper for 2016 are true. I will use the coupon then.
I may drop my upcoming Z06 for a Viper now. Not kidding. As much as I like the C7 Corvettes (I own one), I find the Gen V Vipers MUCH more appealing than any Corvette. I took one home for the night a few months back and it was a spectacular car.
I really hope you do get one. The viper community could really benefit from someone like you who will potentially mod the hell out of it. Now that tuning is available I don't see why these cars won't make a ton of power. As far as the looks of the viper, I could honestly say it gets way too much attention every time I take it out.
This makes me want one of these badly. I'm new to the GT-R and have a lot to see what happens career wise, but in the next few years I would debate switching to or adding one of these to the stable.
Man this sucks. Don't know what this says about the future of this car...last Viper maybe? Don't forget the 4th gen was rumored to be the last after the slow sales + 08 meltdown. Viper just has shitty luck I guess.
I really hope this car's sales return as successful. Very few true sportscars nowadays, too much luxury high powered heavy ass boats.
Do you think this is because of how it barely beat an old ZR1? I remember reading how SRT leader Ralph Gilles was pissed when a base model (or GTS?) was beat by the discontinued ZR1, and that's why SRT immediately rushed to the drawing board and cooked up the TA model. I honestly think that whole conflict was the key event that caused all of this. Most will be swayed towards the new Z06 at this point. Maybe dodge is trying to take a smaller hit now rather than a big hit later.
Smart move either way, but I really don't want this to be he end of it. I may not spend my money on one now, but damn do I love this car!
At the time, the ZR1 wasn't discontinued. Also, the Viper they used in the first test was a preproduction model with a lot of issues that still needed working out. This video explains it all. The best part is the end when they stick a set of R-compounds on the Viper (which the ZR1 runs from the factory) and the Viper beats it's own record by almost 3 seconds.
I don't know what it is. But Dodge can't seem to get their shit together in regards to prize and sales for their vipers. Shit always hits the fan. People keep jumping over to the Corvette boat. Chevy is fckin them up lol
Dodge has already stated Viper for 2015-2016 is a go and will become a halo car. They will produce and sell the car even at a loss. Supercharged and possibly convertible models are slated for 2016.
I have to sell my Corvette before I can get it shipped to me (no room right now), but here's a pic of it from the dealer's stock pics. The other pic is another of the 33 White TAs, since they all look exactly the same.
Sticker price was originally $120k for all Viper TAs. With the $15k rebate, they all dropped to $105k. I got mine for less than that, but the exact amount is something the dealer doesn't want me to share. There are still deals to be had out there if you are really interested in getting one.
Deals are too good right now on Vipers. Traded mine in and picked up a new TA. Divexxtreme and I got it from the same dealer, Our pictures are taken in the same spot lol.

The dealer PDV and I got ours from is now out of TAs, but there are other dealers who were offering me essentially the same discounts for their TAs as well.
I'll put it simply; if you ever wanted a Gen V Viper, now is the time to buy. Right now, before the remaining '14 inventory is all gone. The rebate that Dodge has implemented has completely jumpstarted the Viper market again, and dealers are fielding calls all day long from interested buyers all around the country.
If you want one, don't wait. Get it now.
