Hi Fatboy18,

how about this as an option on your Viper? Would make it practical as well as fun!

Good God No!

I hate those bloody things, A few years back early morning, I was in my daily driver on the A3 heading to work near Heathrow, as I came round the blind bend in the outside lane I was confronted by a man waving his arms furiously, telling me to stop, there lying in the road was a Bike rack with two bikes on it which had fallen off his car! A bit of very fast swerving was required!

Come to think of it could have used the Bike on the Le mans classic parade laps, Im sure I would have got round the track faster

Just read that they sold 46 Vipers in July and only 400 since the start of the year. This must surely put a question to the viability of the racing programme - unfortunately.

Not sure? They seem to be picking up points and making progress in the Tudor Sportscar championship

The idea of race on Sunday, buy on Monday might start working. Trouble has been with marketing SRT and putting the car in the hands of regular Dodge dealerships who will not let people sit in the cars yet alone test drive one! That aside, the people that have bought the car have nothing but praise for them Some people have been waiting for a convertible, others want an ACR (American Club Racer) the new T/A (time attack) Viper is lighter and more geared for track days but at the same time can also be used as a daily if your mad enough
Trouble was many dealers ordered specked up cars that the buyer did not want and the price for those extras pushed the price rather high. The good thing now is that those cars are starting to be discounted and they are now beginning to move off the showroom floors.

Good article on the car here

And the new cars look rather good in the old livery

Cheers for that Neil

I will stick my neck out and say I think the program will continue

lets hope so as they aren't selling any cars off the back of the race program
