Thinking abt pulling the trigger on a base 16 bc it's in my favorite comp blue color and low miles.

I know it doesn't have adjustable suspension and the better seats but any reason not to buy? How stiff is the suspension?

Nothing wrong with the suspension in my Track Pack.

The base model seats are my favorite. The suspension isn't that bad, upgrade if you're a track rat otherwise it will be fine.

I do have the full leather Sabelt seats, so I can't comment on the base seats. But mine are comfy.

The base seats are better IMO.

Buy the car!

Awesome! I have a ‘16 SRT and love it. Bought it used with 625 miles on it for almost half what a new ACR-E would cost.

LOL that was fast. That blue with the matte black sidewinders looks perfect, congrats! Where are you from?

Buy a base and if you want/need do the DSC suspension.

Somebody on this forum bought nearly the exact car a couple weeks ago. http://www.ebay.com/itm/253144532439

Where were all these comp blues when I was shopping around??

This is what I did. I also added the big brake kit from VE.

I may be a repeating record, have the Viper exchange suspension on my 15' Base SRT. It's amazing.

Is the viper store the best place to get the carbon TA wing and other pieces?

How do you know the base seats from optional leather seats? These say sabelt on them and the website says leather..?

I think* they sell Xtreme Motorsports carbon parts, which I read are quite highly regarded. JonB at viperpartsrack also sells some, (I have a set of his TA 2.0 front splitters I’m planning to sell), there is OEM but those parts could be on backorder forever. Agency Power sells CF, but it seems their reviews are middling at best.

I would recommend sticking with one supplier so the CF weave stays similar.

I think the OP's car doesn't have the Stoptechs - so rotating weight a little heavier, but this is a great car. Nice looking, congrats and enjoy!

For $200-300 more you can get an OEM one rather then aftermarket.

Where can you get an OEM spoiler for $1300-1400?

The Viper Store spoiler is on sale for $2k. An Oem one is 2300.

Nothing dark about this side :). Congrats on the new ride!

Why would I not buy it....Let me start with a blown off roof, blown engines, bad ring and pinion and the list goes on of problems guys are having with these cars. Me, just a blown off roof. That's all. Take your chances. The car is gorgeous though.

So a hand made, low production exotic car had a few problems. That must have cost a fortune, oh wait free repairs for everybody. What, free coffee and a free loaner car. Yeah this is terrible.

Comp blue looks great with carbon fiber accents. Another DSC suspension user here too. Cutting edge performance, with a better street ride than the GTS bi-mode to boot. Honestly, I wouldn't be afraid of MCS suspension either, for the tracking I do.

Bright colored cars with black add ons always stand out. That’s why TA orange is the tits. White TA, green vipers with TA add ons all look bad ass too. I love my gunmetal pearl but would not kick any of those out of bed... well maybe venom green.
