New Gen V in Abilene, TX

[HogWhisperer]

Well I guess I have joined in. Took delivery of my Gen V GTS yesterday evening and of course am a little overwhelmed with the bells and whistles compared to my '99 ACR. Took her for a stroll last night and felt like a fish out of water what with cruise control and cup holders. LOL It did have a nice street ride as compared to my ACR and seems way tamed comparatively. Of course the ACR has had years for me to wring everything I could out of it. I guess time will tell how I like it. Not being able to stand on it (during breaking in) means I have no idea how she feels under balls out acceleration but I can say that the ride is nice. First thing I have to do is figure out how to get the speedo front and center as my old eyes have a hard time seeing the small left placed speedo. LOL

Great looking snake. Is it titled as a 2014?

 

[HogWhisperer]

Thanks... Titled as 2013.....

Nice! Enjoy it, they are so fun to drive. I find myself looking for any excuse to get out of the house (work from home)

Did you get it from Woodhouse? Looks like Policy Limits custom order!

 

[HogWhisperer]

Thanks. And yes I did get it from Woodhouse, worked with Bill Pemberton who of course is great to work with. It was a custom order from another customer of his who did not want to wait for it and bought another car before this one came in. Pretty much had everything I was looking for so I snapped it up when it was available.

 

[ViperSmith]

Nice, yep Policy Limits! Great to see it finally out there. Enjoy it.

Car is AWESOME. My favorite color combo. Enjoy the car. You have excellent taste !!

You can go through the menus and set it up so that a digital mph will show at the bottom right corner of the tach. That is what I use. The analog gauge on the left is probably only good if the display ever craps out. You can see it in this pic.

Thanks Tony. I read up on that last weekend and think I have it down. Gonna try and set that up this morning along with pairing my phone and getting the garage door opener set up.

 

[HogWhisperer]

Nice, yep Policy Limits! Great to see it finally out there. Enjoy it.

Just spoke with Bill and right you are about this car having been the one Policy Limits ordered.

Congrats! Beautiful car

 

[HogWhisperer]

Thanks. where in West Texas are you?

 

[96GTS]

Did you keep your ACR? We met at the CarWalk a few weeks ago, I had the red/white/blue Viper.

 

[HogWhisperer]

Hey there, small world... Yes, kept the ACR, don't think I'll ever sell it, just has too many of my personal touches all over it plus at 700+ HP, it's a hoot to drive and race.

I'd like to see pictures of them together. Congrats!!!

 

[01sapphirebob]

Shes a beaut! Enjoy her!

 

[Policy Limits]

If u have DV400495 from Bill P then yes I ordered that car back in 2012.

I amended that order to include a Mopar car cover; do u have a photo of the cover? I'm debating getting one; might custom build one thru California Car Covers or something & add a big Stryker Logo to the front and have "Viper" on the back.

Take care of that dark blue Batmobile!!

How do you like the caramel interior?

 

[NastyGTS]

Thanks. where in West Texas are you?

Roughly 45 miles west of odessa/midland
Do you ever come out this direction?

 

[HogWhisperer]

I'll bust out the cover in the next couple of days. For right now it is still in the box. When I get it on the car I will take a picture and post it so you can see what it looks like. Nice taste, pretty much exactly how I would have ordered it. BTW, it really sparkles in the sunlight. Maybe not as much as the Adrenaline Red (which is awesome) but very noticeable.

 

[HogWhisperer]

How do you like the caramel interior?

I like it loads. I think it is one of the finer points of the car. Sabelt also does Ferrari interiors. Can't comment yet about how it wears but I am definitely impressed with the look and comfort at this point.

We have friends in Pecos and every summer we try and get out there and see them. We also have friends in Ft Davis who have invited us up there several times. Love Balmoreah St park and go there when we can. Just so far from here. Do y'all ever go east?

 

[Policy Limits]

Yeah the vehicle I ended up with had the same options but for the paint & cover and I was able to secure her a month sooner than I would've had your car. The time isn't as much of a factor down south as it is up here; the last week of August is cooler and it snows as early as November so I just didnt want to miss most of the season.

That Shadow paint is special. SRT used it in marketing the car on the Jay Leno Garage episode, on Top Gear and on Speed TV. It's my understanding its not being offered in 2014. Please do upload more pics of the paint in the sunlight when you have the opportunity.

Congrats & enjoy!

Cool places to visit. Plenty of winding roads in Ft Davis

We try to venture off to the metroplex a few times a year. Now that the dragstrip in Abilene is on schedule we hope to hit there regularly next year. I lived in Abilene in 2001 for a few months while doing my college career. Its a neat small/big town

 

[2003 Viper]

That is a beautiful car!

 

[BigDawg]

Great Combo. Congrats!

Pics of Shadow Blue Pearl paint in bright light. And trust me when I say my pics do not do it justice. Pretty stunning in person.

 

[HogWhisperer]

Sorry folks... LOL Still trying to figure out the image posting. Such a dunce..

 

[SADVIPER]

I'd like to see pictures of them together. Congrats!!!

I did consider this car but I wanted red interior, enjoy it
