2017 Orders

[Policy Limits]

A friend with a 16 ACR-E said his concierge sent him 150 pictures of the build from chasis to finish and contacted him weekly with updates. He ordered a 17 model 1.5 months ago and hasn't heard jack from anyone. I realize caap was closed for half of July but do you think the lack of communication is from getting 200 orders all at once or due to this controversy concerning engine failures? Has anyone else placed an order back in June and heard no reply?

I placed an order for a '17 ACR 2 weeks ago and have already received 1 phone call and 2 emails (1 each week).

Did he place the order through a dealer that had an allocation?

[Viper Granny]

That's strange. I ordered a GTC through Bill Pemberton as soon as they started taking orders around the beginning of June or thereabouts. I have received 3 emails and 2 phone calls from the concierge already. 2 days ago I also received the speed form (?) car in my color.

[ACRucrazy]

That's my question

[Policy Limits]

Hmmm the dealer definitely had allocation as its one of the popular ones. Thanks for the responses.

Any indication of anticipated build time? 6 months?

[ACRucrazy]

I was told more than 6 months, maybe even a full year with the special editions and rush of 2017 orders.

[Policy Limits]

Makes sense. They aren't going to hire and train new staff when they're going to be shutting down. Plus they apparently got as many orders in one week as they did for the entire previous model year

If the car gets finished in the dead of winter with heavy snow will the plant store it until spring?

[bluesrt]

no they will ship it to the dealer of choice, or who you ordered it from

[ACRucrazy]

Nope. They can't hold them. Even if you're doing plant pick up.

[Chorps]

Nope. They can't hold them. Even if you're doing plant pick up.

They better be giving a set of free tires with every winter purchase then because all those super sticky tires should never be subjected to temperatures near or below freezing.

[Policy Limits]

Maybe the dealers will hold them. A buddy had his F12 order completed in the middle of a blizzard and his dealer stored it for him until the snow cleared.

GTC cars are not sold on allocation. They are sold orders and do not require an allocation

I was told you can't even order an SRT, GTS, TA or regular GTC anymore, the plant is down to making ACRs only. Be it of the GTC varaity or not.

I placed my order for my 17 in June when order banks opened-the same day! Concierge sent my vin by end of the month- recieved pics of my "purple" panels yesterday- they seem to email me an update about once a week POLICY!

Mine is a GTC-NON ACR!

[ACRucrazy]

This was recent, not early June before the Limited edition ACRs

simply not ture. in fact if you order a non acr car it will probably get done faster.

I ordered my 17' ACR June 3, got a vin by June 9, and have been getting a message every week since then from the concierge (random facts about the Viper, how it's built, etc) July 28 I was messaged my body panels were being prepped and on Aug 3 received about 15 or so pictures of my completed/painted body panels! That's where I stand now... Should get another update next week..

Speaking with both the Viper Concierge after my car (2016) was shipped, as well as with people at CAAP during the tour, they have been completely swamped with orders ever since FCA officially announced the end of Viper production. This is most likely the reason.

[ViperTony]

Call a dealer and order one. Ben Keating mentioned they ordered ~200 '17s, mostly ACR Extremes and mostly customer orders. Local dealer ordered 6 ACR-E limited editions for customers. Woodhouse, etc. are all ordering Vipers. Buy one.

[uberpube]

I signed the sales order and put a downpayment around July 16th IIRC for one of the limited edition Snakesking Acr's and haven't heard a thing since then. I was told the delivery though would be 6-10 months away from the order date, so maybe it'll be awhile before they send me anything.

My understanding is that an order placed now/recently wait time will be significantly more than one placed right when the 2017 orders opened in early June because of the official announcement rush and limited editions.

It's interesting to see the feedback/times from everyone. I was told 12 months.

Sweet what are the last 4 of your VIN?
