I spoke to a SRT product rep at the NY auto show in great length. I asked him A LOT of questions about the new Viper and told him I was a VCA member for 12 years and have owned several Vipers. I asked him about special certificates for the VCA members like in 2003, special colors like the Blue and White of 1996/1997 and 2006 and VCA editions, etc. He said that they know that the VCA members are strong supporters, but they want to make the Viper available for everyone and no plans for special treatment for VCA members. I could not believe what he was saying. i went to a different SRT rep and asked the same questions. I also got pretty much the same response. When I went to look at the GTR the Nissan rep was VERY helpful and saw my VCA shirt and was treating me better then the SRT reps. I have a 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 Long Horn Dually, 2012 SRT8 Jeep, 2012 Dodge Durango R/T and a 2012 Jeep Wrangler 4DR Rubicon and of course my Vipers.
I hope these guys were wrong and they do something special for the VCA group. I called my dealer and asked about putting me on the list for a 2013 and they said that they will be happy to put me on the list with a $25,000 dealer mark up. I laughed and hung up. Called another dealer and they are putting a $15,000 mark up.
I SURE HOPE THE SRT STAFF READS OUR FORUM!!!! I will not be a new owner of a 2013 with non sense like this, I will be looking at another car for sure.
