I love the red interiors! I wish more would have ordered them so there is a better chance to buy a Gen V with it 2nd hand! Great car!

Thanks! The red is not only interesting, but it has significance because it is the two-tone vision of the interior design team. Kinda cool to read Maurice's book and see other posts of the various interior concepts. This red interior is the realization of that creative work. All kinds of neat little details, like the heater vent surrounds that really bring it together.

Ralphs calls this "the money shot," LOL

Looks amazing! Here's hoping it gets on a truck headed your way ASAP.

I've told your specific story to the powers that be at SRT. I want to make sure they understand the mistake they made, with cars sitting on lots for months identical to sold unfullfilled orders like yours. I'm sure they listened, I'm sure they'll do better in 2014MY. Wish you were getting your Viper too, but you'll love the car you chose. That was my back-up too.

I hope they listen. There really wasn't an excuse for it. I want SRT to do well, because I want to buy a Gen VI in the future...

looks like a piece of jewelry. Great looking car.

The only thing it's missing is a big wing like yours! Seriously, this car WILL see the track and will be driven hard. But only on tracks that I've really learned in the Camaro first. I also plan on upgrading it with the carbon aero kit when available. 300 pounds of downforce at 150 MPH. Not quite 1200 pounds, but it'll help.

Congratulations and welcome to the Stryker Red club. Just wait until you see her in person for the very first time... you'll be truly AMAZED!!! No sleep for you until she arrives however; the LONG wait and second guessing will be in the distant past and all worth it in the end, I promise!

I am fighting to stay awake now, because of the sleep I lost. I was sooooooooooooooooo close to buying an on-the-lot black Viper I cannot tell you. Sleep lost trying to decide which way to go. Some very cool people stepped in on my behalf and pushed this baby through.

I think between the two of us Harold, Viper Nation was heard by the right people at the top. I've got to believe that things will improve for future orderers, it just has to.

OK, here we go!

Tick tock, buddy. Can't wait to see it.

Rich,

We will be tracking together before you know it. I've got a few dates in mind, gotta decide between the Viper and Camaro for each track, a nice dilemma to have. I'll get in touch soon

Thank you for the kind words and for passing the story on when you got a willing ear. I'm not sure if they'll really make adjustments or not but I certainly hope they do or at least don't repeat these particular mistakes. However, they've got a long way to go to ever win me back.

I knew you were grinding it out and glad you waited. Good to have friends in all the right places, you'll be a Viper lifer for sure. Congrats and looking forward to all your future posts.... " I'm driving her like she's stolen".

HALLELUJAH!

I recognize that station, that is where they do the final buffing and detail. Congrats, she looks amazing.
