1 of 1 Owner Story Ben Sloss Viper ACR Dodge

[One Viper Bite]

Neat video done by Dodge - just wish they would have done this kind of promotion early on in the Gen Vs life. It's a little late for this kind of thing now.

I know right? Nothing like closing the barn door after the horse got out.

[ACRSNK]

Great video. Makes me want to order another. O wait...I can't

[sadil]

Jeez, this man's cars are insane.

[Scott_in_fl]

Yep, that's the kind of stuff they should have been doing all along. We always knew it as a community, but the rest of the world does not. Promotional videos like this would have gone a long way towards bringing out the right message (i.e. that lots of guys who can afford to drive anything love to drive their Viper).

Ben has been a Viper Fan for a long, long time. He likely had the very first 1000hp Gen II in the US , many years back. That yellow RT10 was a beast and he eventually detuned it to make it more livable.

Ben's car came out so nice he graciously let us use it in the VOA magazine for one of our ads --simply stunning ACR in Stryker Purple !!! Ben is a solid track rat and well known on other Forums as he definitely does believe in using his cars for what they were intended for.

Too bad he isnt a member here. Ben is a certified track rat. Would love to see what he can do in the ACR at sonoma. Man FCA needs to do a video with Darius too.

[ViperGeorge]

He'd cut a couple of seconds off if he had racing harnesses.

[ACRucrazy]

What a lifestyle! Wow!

[Taximan1]

What a lifestyle! Wow!

the google guys are really struggling to make ends meet I see.

the google guys are really struggling to make ends meet I see.

I know, right? As he drives to the track in his Ferrari!!! And then drives the Viper to his office. I only take my Viper on a weekend if I have to go in, when no one is in the parking lot to ding the hell out of it.

From the glimpse they showed of his garage, he has a lot of nice toys.

[Photog1]

As it has been said....great video.....Time to rethink and bring out the 2018 with 750 horse.....wish full thinking

[Murpowa]

That is a great video. Odd Dodge would even spend the time and resources on it when it's no more...

[1ststrike]

Love it! May be the color

[38D]

Stryker purple is freakin awesome

[commandomatt]

They are gearing up for the next generation Vipers

I know....a bit early

[slowhatch]

It was really fun to watch Ben's career grow from the good old days on SVTperformance. Started from him rolling around in an S55 amg and gen 2s, to buying multi million FXXK ferraris, etc. His wife as also as much of a track rat as he is, they really are the definition of living the american dream. I remember when he posted about buying his dad his first Ferrari (an F355), really stuck with me; I was much younger and remember thinking what I wouldn't give to be able to reward my folks with their wildest desires for all their sacrifices for me. Motivation!

Nice video, straight to the collection among Ferraris. Refreshing to see people add this thing to their collection even if they are Porsche only, or Ferrari only. That's how you know this car is truly special.

[BRACR]

What a garage.......what a life.......coolness at its best.

[F2V]

I know right? Nothing like closing the barn door after the horse got out.

Exactly Swex. I remember well, back in '12 and early '13 on the VCA G5 board, how all of us early buyers were appalled at the lack of marketing, in tread after thread, so on and so forth...and SRT was reading it all, to no avail.

I'm still disgusted, didn't even open the above video, and I have the original one of one, before there was a program. Too little, way too late...but still enjoying my ride, on these long, straight and wide open Florida roads.

[Snakebit10]

Great video. Is this Ben "Traynor" from the old boards? What a great stable.

[swexlin]

That is a great video. Odd Dodge would even spend the time and resources on it when it's no more...

I agree. Strange.

[VRYALT3R3D]

Great video. Is this Ben "Traynor" from the old boards? What a great stable.

Yes it is

[Bill Pemberton]

Treynor

[Snakebit10]

Nice. What an evolution of cars from back in those days to now. Wish the video was longer. Sweet TDF and Stryker Purple killer among the other cars. "Fastest car he ever drove under 1 mil" says it all.
