'03 Viper: Looking for info!

Re: \'03 Viper: Looking for info!

When the GURU speaketh it is always good to listen. His musical talent is very appropo, as a very important personage at DC has mentioned that the GTS is definitely an Everly Bros. tune!!! "Dream, Dream, Dream.... is a sad refrain, but alot of us feel Jon B is even optomistic at 2-3 years!!! The 96-2002 GTS's may , like a fine wine, actually get better with age.

1) Availability? I've heard that many people have already been added to wait lists - Any word on the projected production numbers? Will I be able to go to a dealership and order an '03 next summer or will they likely all be spoken for by then?
2) Price? heard everything from "low 90k's" to "mid 60k's". A ......the move from the clamshell to a "standard" hood for the '03 will save in the neighborhood of $8000 in production costs......3) GTS Coupe?? I love the looks of the '03 RT/10 and I'd be very tempted to buy one, but I still think I'd prefer the GTS Coupe. Doug Rose Charlotte, NC(I wanna Viper!! ) <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

1) IF-IF-IF the world stays perfect, Dodge wants to build 2500 '03 RT/10s. Eventually, 3000/yr. Current build 1700/yr. They are likley all spoken for NOW ! And 1000 in the hole. Almost 600 GTSs were rolled over as 97s from 1996 underbuild.

2) Higher volume, lower cost/unit = "near same prices" I expect mid 70s...... Hood swap was operational as well as cost issues.

3) Coupe?? Everly Brothers playing in background: "DrrEEEEAM. Dream, Dream Dreee-eeeem!" No Coupe for 2-3 years. Like last time, we waited 5+ yrs
