i would just like to know of the 500 or so cars how many have shipped. None of the FEs to my knowledge have shipped. I just don't understand it.
While dealers are slashing 2010 Zr1s etc Dodge is still slowly sending out 2010s when everyone else is gearing up for the new model year. (I realize...
I have seen pics of the Final Eds taken during the CAAP event, but like most pics it is hard to get a feel for how the car really looks. It looked kind of dark
Anyone seen it in person? Comments? Thanks
If the plant technically closed July 1, presumably someone is still there keeping the lights on and shipping cars. Does anyone know when the remainder of the 10s will be shipped?? (I know this in part has to do with carrier availability)
For crips sake these are 2010 cars and most car...
I have an 06.
Best handling car I have ever driven (but I have never owned a Lambo) Sports Car Market Mag gives it an A investment rating and I can tell you from buying a low mileage 06 after MUCH looking they hold their price.
Very good post, Jerry (Mark J also) My installer called me back yesterday and said as much as I like to sell 2 posts I cannot in good faith sell you one for storage. I likely would have put the Caddy on it--no way the GT. But in any event, looks like I am headed to a new garage.
I do remember...
You would think I would remember this but I don't.
If a car is in J status and ready to go to prefix--how far along is that and how close is it to being ready to be shipped to the dealer? Thanks
I wish I could go but have another committment. It is a wonderful track and the operator is a lawyer who used to work for my firm (and a damn good guitarist)
I will be there in Sept for the Ford GT event.
You guys have fun and bring em back in one piece. (watch that tree)
I have another Viper on the way. I already have a 4 post Rotary lift in my garage and would like to add a 2nd but having 2 4 posts lifts will overwhelm my garage.
My dealer is suggesting the Rotary 2 post. Every time I look at it I have this image of my car hanging off the side or somehow...
One of mine was born in 1992 and was the 2nd- born (production ) --his minutes older brother is in Iacocca's garage. If I had the energy to get it off the lift I could provide a specific date.:)
Although he has not ben totally consistent on the issue (see other posts here) in the August 2010 Hemmings Classic Car Mag Leno picked his 93 Viper as one of the top 10 American cars in his collection.
The only 2 modern day cars were his 1993 black Viper and 2005 Ford GT. His black Viper...
Hope you are right--more about the country than even our beloved snake. The Viper is just a car--the country is our kids' future and right now it is looking grim
I would love to be more optimistic but if I was a betting man, I would say Viper is going the way of Prowler etc--extinction. Soon there will be no plant. I realize other locations could be possible but I don't see how you bring a new Gen to market in 2 years or so.
Also there are tons of 09s...
I am no holding my breath. There were about 4000 GTs and I have lost count but over 25,000 snakes. If July 1 really is the end it will help--particularly all those dealers sitting on 09s.
2 comments--I agree with Bob that this is really a dumb date to do this. Was Christmas Eve unavailable? Also, I have a deposit down on a Final Ed (for months) and this is the first I have heard of this--nice customer service.
A guy with several thousand posts, and 57,000 miles on his Viper--you almost wish you could enshrine his car at CAAP as a tribute to him and "the Viper enthusiast."
Barring that, I would suggest everyone take their snake out for a ride in his memory. God bless him and his family.
Viper seats may have more padding but at 6'4" I have a lot more room in the GT. When I get in the Vipers now I notice being cramped more than I used to. (but I still get in them--often)
The Vipers, however have the storage space of a Town Car compared to the GT. I can get golf clubs in a...
