very nice

The operative word here is "Teaser". I can't really see myself getting too worked up over a glimpse of a headlight, mirror or closeup shot of the new Stryker badge hood emblem. I'm confident no one will actually see this car until its unveiling in NY in April.
I would of course like to be proved wrong.

I'm 95% sure it will be an up close shot of the headlight ala dodge dart, but I'll take what I can get

 

[Twister]

Screw it I dont even care anymore.


This thing better rival a gallardo in fit finish and interior after all this bs

 

[plumcrazy]

why would SRT do it on facebook first and not here ? thats a slap in the face to the vca

 

[MikeG]

Interesting point.

SRT posted in FB that if they got 10k "Likes" they would post a teaser pic there... they got over 11k so they are posting

Plum-

I agree but I think it is a sign of the times, facebook= a HUGE media outlet as I am sure you know. Facebook is fine for what it is but I must say that I am impressed that the SRT camp is taking the steps it is taking to promote the brand. I have never seen so much SRT related attention before. With the SRT road show, racing, publicity for the new 392 Hemi, merchandise, etc. I like what I am seeing.

(As a side note, I hope to God that the rumors are true that SRT is going to have the option of a supercharger on their 392 line from the factory. That would be too awesome!)

Let facebook have a pic of a headlight or whatever and give the VCA forum some time with the SRT engineers giving us some juicy meaningful details that will get the true enthusiasts drooling.

What do you say SRT? Are you up for some chat time about the Gen V prior to the release date. Nothing that would compromise the grand release but something that can reward the VCA members.

i understand but this site gets that many a day (guessing), it just seems like a slap in the face to me. the VCA members get first shot to give them our hard earned money to buy one but we dont get to have a teaser pic ? as linked to SRT as this site/club is, you would think the VCA would get first shot at it....i dont have FB, i might not see it ?

I'll rehost it here for ya buddy

While I see your point one thing to consider is that dodge (back at VOI 11) showed us the car before ANYBODY else
got to see it and from what Ralph has said the design (aside from some slight changes I'm sure) has been done for over a year and a half. So the club did get to see it first. For all we know the"teaser pic" could be a close up of the Stryker emblem on the fascia. Just something to consider. I do get what you are saying.

 

[Jog]

Thanx...Absoluthank..cause I don't have a FaceBook account either ( Too many bad experiences..LOL ), but I can't wait to see it..so post it as soon as you can. I kinda agree with Plumcrazy; VCA members should get first cracks at the teaser pics...Too Bad. But at at least we get a big party on April 4th after the auto show so I guess this kinda makes up it.

 

[JackDud]

I doubt the picture is going to be significant, it's hardly a slap to the face

Plum, I think it's more that SRT is now a brand, and "has" to to build a following if its gonna stand on its own apart from Dodge... Possibly for the first time ever the Viper is going to be used as a true halo car to excite people not currently aware of the new SRT brand.

I could never figure out why Dodge didn't feature the Viper more to make other sales... I think we're about to see the public reaction first hand... It'll also be interesting to see if #SRT is trending on Tuesday morning! I could be wrong... but I'm guessing this is a market test to see what kind of bang for the buck they get from this teaser shot...

Currently there's Members : 12,245, Active Members : 1,670 here... We're already sold on the brand... SRT quickly gained a few thousand followers who are showing interest in the brand in a few hours after announcing the teaser photo. Let's see what happens... the FB Likes are at 11,300 and change. Which will likely increase as we draw near the drop and after... 12,000 or 13,000 anyone?

I like whom ever is interacting with the public on the fan page... They are very engaging and are eager to create public participation in the new niche brand. It would be awesome to be involved with marketing SRT & the 2013 Viper I think we're gonna see more "Viper Lap dances" and over the top attention grabbing public interaction in the near future...

 

[plumcrazy]

bob & jog,
the VOI looksee was for the vca members.
sales of the viper is important to the vca, thats why we are getting the party, why not give us the first teaser ? give us the teaser one hour earlier ? they need to respect the VCA ! not take us for granted

dud, i agree, it wont be earth shattering but it should be shown HERE first. im surprised you guys arent more upset......usually everyone on this site sits around tussling each others hair talking about the new model. LOL

 

[IEATVETS]

I agree with ya Phil 110%. A lot of people aren't on FB, me included. A lot of us didn't get to go to VOI 11 for a "peek, I am one of them. Oh well, won't do any good to ***** about it now, whats done is done. PLUS, they debut it in NY and the Chicago Auto Show is before NY. I would drive to Chicago to see it but I won't drive all the way to NY!

 

[plumcrazy]

fly over ! i think i owe you a beer if i recall.

 

[Vic]

I never feel slapped in the face.


Unless I am slapped in the face. But this ain't that, so-

 

[VYPR BYT 94]

Yep, no FB here either! Not my kinda thing.
Im 45...Must be an old age thing

Anybody here over 45 on facebook?

 

[WDW MKR]

SRT has given private presentations to various VCA clubs, continually provided some fashion of updates through both the VCA message board and Viper magazine, and are giving a private pre-public viewing to VCA members in NY. It also appears as though SRT will have the new Viper available for VCA members to driving during VOI 12. I just can't understand why someone would feel a dinky close-up pic on Facebook is a slap in the face. The public needs to see the car, too. Only catering to the VCA does nothing for new ownership. I think it's great they are branching out with their advertising and public interaction.

No FB, here...

 

[Blue Batmobile]

waiting...

B@t™

I'm a bit over 45 and use FB. I use it for one purpose and that is finding old buddies from HS and college that don't live close. It is pretty good for that. Other than that I pretty much ignore it...

 

[Nine Ball]

Geez, these guys can't even post a teaser on time. It is currently 1:20 pm central, and it is over an hour late already.

You realize that 11:59pm is tonight right? But I'm sure you are joking lol.

 

[Slithr]

I'll rehost it here for ya buddy

Ryan, share the love with me also ... I don't do facebook either

 

[klamathpro]

20 minutes to go. Got the popcorn and coke ready.

I haven't been this excited since Episode 1.

 

[vancouver-gts]

I'm on Facebook now, it better be good.
