View Full Version : Bought a Gen V

So after a lot of back and forth in my own mind, I decided to jump in and buy a new Gen V. Andy (Flatout) had offered to let me drive his TA (thanks for trusting me dude) but in the end I didn't need to. My wife and I stopped in at Tomball Dodge/Viper Exchange yesterday so that she could see the new cars and Bernie made us a heck of a deal on a 2013 SRT plus looked after me in regards to trading my ACR. I seriously could not have passed on this deal and still feel good about myself. Bernie threw the track pack wheels & tires in the deal and Morgan (Viper Tech guru) had the car ready for me this afternoon. After a little drive to the gas station (word on the street is Bernie's card has no limit :)) I was off with my new Gen V. I will admit I had a little sad moment when Bernie took my VVO ACR, but after driving home through the rain, collecting my wife, and going for a little drive together, I'm satisfied that I made the right choice.

1st thing this morning, before going to get the car, I put a call in to JonB, and the 2 piece StopTech rotors are on the way. I'm going to have fun building a little track beast out of this one.

So pumped! Couldn't be happier dude, I know you'll like it and have a blast with it. Great color as well :D. Funny thing is I almost bought that car when I bought my Gen V, I loved the caramel seats with the black.
Congrats Robert!

Congratulations! I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. I recommend the Advanced Aero pieces as part of your track beast mods...they integrate well on the car and don't look like tacked on styling bits like on some cars ;)

tough choice, having a 1 of 1 color combo and an ACR makes any decision difficult. that interior looks great on the black car.
congrats

Congrads Robert. You have a beautiful car. I am sure it was hard to let go of the ACR. I don't know if I could have let mine go.

Congratulations! I feel your pain about trading your old car. I'm thinking of upgrading but my current car is just so much fun and it has been "bullet proof" reliable! Who knows, I may have to keep it and make room for a Gen V.

Thank you for the congrats . As far as the Aero, I'm going to wait and see what extended version looks like. Same as the current TA only a little higher is the what I had heard. Might be the ticket.

I'm going to track the chit out of this car whereas I always felt like the 1 of 1 should be more of a show car. Hopefully someone who just wants to track a little here and there will buy it.

Thanks. It was difficult. I had been thinking about it for a while, but couldn't decide on what I wanted.

Congrats on the new car, Rob. Suggest getting it clear-bra'd in all the rock-chip laden places, asap. I couldn't think of a better person to join our Gen V Defense Team. LOL

Great choice! The color scheme is awesome. Keep it nice, as in 20 years when I may be able to afford it, I just might buy it from you.

Some here might remember the 99 ACR at the TX roundup a few years back that was Black w/flat black stripes. I always liked that look and am going to do the same with my Gen V. Then I'll get the clear bra done.

Congrats Robert, very nice choice and love the two tone interior! I didn't think you'd ever let go of that ACR, but I doubt you'll look back.

Congratulations on your new score. Awesome man. Sounds like you got just the right car that you wanted. If you are going to replace and ACR, that is the way to do it. Show us the stripes when you get them done.

Yep. Except I will have full stripes. Although I am not a fan of the "fang" stripes, that doesn't look that bad.
