    We're unlikely to ever get that kind of feedback, and it would be very subjective at best. What I'd expect to find is that the car feels more stable and planted at speed. That wouldn't necessarily even translate immediately into faster lap times as driver confidence would need time to probe...

    Photos - Gen V with Xtreme Supercars aero package.

    Your car is really looking good, Tony. Exterior carbon fiber is a nice touch, and the aero effect is certainly noticeable on track according to Mister Viper (Graham H). Nice job Jetstar!

    Boy. Some some people are so fickle.

    I'm starting to sense that you're reasonably happy with your purchase decision...or handling buyer's remorse exceedingly well :2tu: I have to believe early owner feedback like yours is going to help some on the fence to pull the trigger. I knew when I ordered mine that the TA was a...

    1 of 1 2013 Viper - Someone needs to buy this!!

    It does not say that all supercars are made by elite manufactures, but rather that some are limited production specials from elite manufactures...big difference.

    Ralph wants/needs an automatic

    I haven't read most of the comments here, but know how my own deliberation on this went leading up to ordering a TA earlier this week. I would have liked the Viper to have had as many sought after features as possible. That included an optional DCT. I would want the car to receive as much...

    Boy. Some some people are so fickle.

    I don't think that comes easily because most are conditioned to being able to buy American supercar performance for under $100k, and because they somewhat value the Viper according to Vette pricing because of similar performance and origin. Making the jump to supercar quality and exclusivity is...

    Why I’ve chosen the Gen V…a cross-shopper’s perspective

    Well hello again, and thanks! Bellyaching? I thought I could tell almost two years that the XKR wasn't wild enough for you, and all the mods were just delaying the inevitable! The other cars you mention are all great, and other than the Viper all have the engine mounted behind like the NSX...

    Boy. Some some people are so fickle.

    That's just great to hear, and a relief. Mine will get delivered to the dealer in the middle of winter up here unfortunately, and may have to sit there for a few weeks or rent an enclosed trailer. Thanks for the feedback, and please share your experiences with it. Not many of these cars are...

    Boy. Some some people are so fickle.

    Great shot of the interior, and orange accent looks great. Can you comment on your impression of how the TA interior looks and feels compared to a normal SRT, or a GTS with its leather and different bezels and such? Does it still look and feel fairly high-end to you?

    TA colors

    I suspect there may be a new option pkg to replace or compliment the TA. Maybe it will feature adjustable suspension and CCBs or something, and it would be available in limited/special/striped colors. Just a guess, and may be determined by the new Z06 as much as anything.

    Why I’ve chosen the Gen V…a cross-shopper’s perspective

    Hey Tony, I know I was rather stunned by yours and others decision to buy like that. I would think most have to see, touch and drive before committing to a major car purchase. It's probably hard for most people to be able to get to the point that they could do that, and it's probably the 100%...

    Boy. Some some people are so fickle.

    Absolutely stunning! I like the matte black wheels on it too. Hopefully you get some good interior shots to share as well.

    Why I’ve chosen the Gen V…a cross-shopper’s perspective

    Thanks emericr, I am excited, and relieved to have been able to come to such a confident decision to buy. I agree with everything that you say, and was also being put off by those and many other reasons. But a funny thing happened as I realized that the car itself was truly what I was looking...

    Boy. Some some people are so fickle.

    That's awesome, Bob...congrats!!! You're the first one I've heard of to get a black TA, along with Nambo getting an orange one recently. I'm getting a black TA also but didn't think they were being built until March or something. Please give us your impressions and pics when possible. What...

    I haven't seen the gunmetal color yet, but it could be nice if it complemented the carbon fiber.

    No idea...I gather one has them and the other doesn't?

    Why I’ve chosen the Gen V…a cross-shopper’s perspective

    Well guys...SRT called me yesterday and said no orange TA's available for allocation left anywhere...but they had exactly one in black, and it was mine if I wanted it. It will also be the only black allocation for Canada as there's wasn't actually supposed to be any. There really was no...

    First Gen 5 Viper in the 10s!

    It sounds like there's a case to be made for a 7 speed to cover all uses while keeping ratios close enough.

    SRT All-Access in San Diego

    Okay, thanks. I'd like to add that the V ACR in softest setting would be somewhere between the T/A's smooth and rough track settings ;)

    SRT All-Access in San Diego

    Thanks for the feedback! I gather there was a T/A there and you drove it? This is the first comparison I've seen discussing the T/A ride quality. I don't know how stiff Race feels in a GTS on the street, but perhaps you could describe how it and the T/A felt in this urban setting. Or more...

    First Gen 5 Viper in the 10s!

    That's awesome...congrats! Did you somehow remedy the IAT issue, or just manage to not let it heat up at launch? Bruce

    Thanks again...it would appear the seats are comfortable!

    Owner feedback...seat support and comfort after break-in

    Thanks for the feedback. Harold, I'll be investing in weapon's grade ear plugs to address what I anticipate to be an annoyance! Fortunately the ice cream shop and town are only 15 minutes away, and my home track only 45! If the T/A isn't too stiff another track is 3.5 hours, and two more ~7...

    Ralph wants/needs an automatic

    Chrysler is under license with ZF and build ZFs for their own vehicles. ZF makes probably the best A6 and A8 with paddles and is used in high end vehicles already. Fastest shifting torque converter tranny that's only a tick off the DCTs. So they have the tech and plant to build their own if...
