Believe me, I'm no Vette fan but you have remember that those numbers are for the base Vette, not the Z06 or ZR1. I'd expect both cars to be significantly faster and compete very well with the gen V. of course, none of that will take care of the ugly on the new Vette...
This. SilveRT8, do some shopping around and put some feelers out. There are at-invoice deals available on colors other than red out there (in case you don't want red).
This. The C7 Vette's a pretty good looking car until you get to the back end of it. Even ignoring the rear end it still doesn't hold a candle to the looks of the Gen V Viper.
Ron, thanks for the sentiment - I really appreciate it. Your #1 and #2 plus the rest of my experience with them tells me Dodge doesn't have any business selling a car as expensive as the Viper and it doesn't seem they're going to be able to pull off this "SRT" brand thing (which may have helped)...
I wasn't going to post this but since you sort of "poked the bear" I'll post that I did in fact cancel my order. A wide combination of things gave me a bad feeling about the whole deal so I bailed. The irony is that the car just shipped from the factory yesterday. I must emphasize that Bernie...
I agree that's a completely stupid policy but I've been told by two different people, both of whom I consider honest and trustworthy, that that's the case. I don't see how it's enforceable or how SRT ever thought it was a rational idea but nevertheless this is the policy in place as part of that...
Paul,
- I'm not irritated at dealers NOT honoring their deal with SRT. I meant to convey that I felt bad for the dealers that are honoring that.
- I'm not feeling too bad about possibly canceling my order because the delivery dates promised, production schedule promised, etc were not lived up...
I have an order in Final Inspection status that I ordered at sticker but after looking around Autotrader.com I've come to realize that the car just isn't worth sticker at this point because now there are dealers violating their agreement with SRT to sell the cars at sticker and no lower so I'm...
There actually are real discounts available on AutoTrader. I found a black and gunmetal GTS for $3500 off MSRP. I also found a few reds and LEs for near invoice - no funny business in the ads either. I'm feeling like a first-class sucker right about now.
IIRC it's been a couple of weeks since it first went to frame on VOTS. Just talked to SRT and the status on VOTS now matches what they see. Not sure how accurate it'll prove to be, but I'm told the scheduled ship date is 6/26.
They're in the process of building my car and I'm still pretty aggravated by the number of black and gunmetal GTS on AutoTrader, and not just "in transit" cars but real-life existing cars sitting in showrooms.
855-SRT-TEAM agrees with this. They told me the car should be complete in another day or two then it'll have to wait for a truck to Bernie...then on to me from there.
