As I understood it 32 FEs were to stay in the US. I have a coupe and "ecue" has a roadster.

Does anyone else here on the Forum have one or more of the remainder (delivered or undelivered)?

Yep, I have one coming at the end of this week. I am getting a coupe (#23). I will post pics when it arrives. After seeing your pictures, I had to have one and miraculously, one came up available after the prospective buyer had to drop out. I was just about to pull the trigger on a ultra clean, mega low mileage 2008 Coupe when this FE became available. It will keep my 2002 GTS FE good company. I am so excited, I can't sleep:)
How much are you loving yours?

I like it a lot (lucky number 13) Already 700 miles.

I thought the color scheme was going to take getting used to, but I really like the graphite. The red bezels kind of jump out for sure. I usually don't like stone guards (flaps) but the CF ones look like they were made for FEs, and they really protect well. (that plus put on clear bra the first day I got it).

One thing you will like for sure is the 5yr/100,000 powertrain warranty--nice. Will probably take you 2 years into Gen 5 and get you past the fact that you really don't have the final Viper.

Have not received my Final Edition Convertible either....my VIN ends in 427. What was the Vin # for car #13?

423 but if there is one thing I have learned over the years VINs don't mean much as far as order (others can correct me)

As far as a plaque the other poster asks, there is a plaque on piano black center console thats says "13 of 50", but the only place the owners' name appears is on the window sticker IF you were person who ordered it. (I think you can do that with any Dodge--not limited to FE) So my guess is the poster who is buying the one that the deal fell thru on may get that guy's name on his--but don't know for sure.

My dealer got all the production records for mine from the factory as well for my car.

vipergrummer...any photos of your car to share with us???

A lot. Some when I got it and more when I took shots of it with my 92.

I am not smart enough to past here but they are in this (SRT) forum over the last 2 weeks. One was 'FE Delivery" and other was "Tribute".

mine


We just need to hunt down 26 (maybe 25-think I know where another is ) Unfortunatly I suspect several will go to collectors who have no idea what the VCA is --even though they will get a membership.

Looks like most of FE Coupes have been delivered.....my FE Convertible just went to KZ status finally...anyone know how many cars are still at the factory ready to be delivered? Can't be many I assume.

The paint job on my FE is so perfect it is scary. I have gone over the car with a fine tooth comb and it really is PERFECT. The car is stunning to look at in every way. Still waiting on my new camera, but I will post some pics soon. These cars are extraordinary and I am so happy that I changed gears at the last minute and chose this FE over another 2010 that I previously had my eyes on.

Vin is 100469, Arrived about Aug 15. Poor Quality paint on the roof. Needs to be redone. Painter at Prefix must have been a sleep when they did this one as the roof is terrible.:D:D

i think the roof is painted before the fe cars go to prefix. i know the 2 cars i got this year, there were problems with the paint. it seems that who does the polishing at the plant or prefix should get a new job. seems to do more harm than good i know the last car i got it should have never left the factory[i was at the dealer when it was unloaded and it was not the fault of the transport company]

What were the paint issues? Mine looks ok, but I do have a hard time getting the top polished as I would like. The last good Viper paint job goes back to Gen 2 unfortunately
