In the Market for a 13 17

[Special Ed]

Ahh, what a bummer. I just sold my C6Z because I didn't like waiting for a dropped valve, I try to avoid cars with these types of known issues. Next on my list is a Hellcat.

You didn't want a Viper if after 2 negative posts (pointing out some things that have gone on a few of the thousands of cars produced) your moving on. Every car has some issue, so I guess we will see you walking or riding a bike.

From my limited research it seems the 2 big issues is a bulletin on oil consumption and contamination? As I understand, if the car passes the checks you should be good to go?

As other said, passing r28 may not tell the whole story. I opted to find one with just r29 issued as IMO, it's lower risk since it's out of the range of possible oil contamination. Monitor oil levels at every fuel stop and you should be fine + you have warranty if you stay stock.

I Just crossed 10k on my TA and running strong with no signs of burning oil. Don't let some posts here scare you. I was spooked a bit but this car has been the best car I've ever owned by a landslide. Here is a review I made of my TA in case it helps you: https://youtu.be/EzHRAkQWFTM

Didn't mean for that to come across as I was out, although it looked that way. I am trying to join the dodge family though. My daily driver/weekend warrior pair are always of the same brand and I've had ford and currently have chevy so dodge is the only Company I haven't experienced of the big 3. A viper has always been a dream of mine, but until recently it was unreachable so the timing has lined up perfectly.

Some 13-14 have a 10 year warranty not all of them.

13-14s came with 10yr /100,000 power train warranty.

Transferable I assume?

Only select ones do. If the car had R28 issued, then it does have the extended warranty(10year/100k). However, if the car was only issued R29(oil consumption) it does not have the extended warranty. You can purchase the extended warranty for under 2 Grand which will give you 7 years/100k. I strongly believe there is a reason FCA only extended warranty on the R28 cars - They are at higher risk due to the "possible" oil contamination but even then, many R28 issued cars are running just fine with no problems. Many people will debate this topic and it can go on and on. There is an abnormally high rate of failures of these Gen 5's, but the large majority of them are just fine and have logged many trouble free miles. Find the right car for you, get it checked out, and enjoy it!

Yes it transfers. The warranty stays with the car, not the owner.

I bought my 2014 new and it came with a std 100,000 mile powertrain warrenty. I believe when viper went back to dodge in 2015 it got reduced to 60mo/60,000 mile..

It always was 5 year/60k I thought? Interesting yours was 100k. FCA issued extended warranty(10yr/100k) only on r28 issued cars which were select 2013-2014.

I just looked online 2014 std is 60mo/100,000mi powertrain.. when i get hm ill look up on the orig window sticker

EDIT:
Confirmed! Just checked my orig window sticker. 2014s came with a 5year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty

My '13 has a factory of 60/100,000.

SRT started as the striped down track model. It's the lightest if configured that way and has the highest top speed.. no areo To slow it down. Manual seats, std coilover suspension, etc.. the niceties add weight.

My 14 SRT weighs 3280 lbs. Great car, Ive taken it across Canada twice already and its a great road car! 21,700 kms, 13,000 miles, and have had no issues. Just installed my exhaust and Arrow controller. Cant wait for spring!

Ok good to know. Looks like the main thing then was the select 2013-2014 cars get 10 years instead of 5.

Yep, that's the takeaway. the years, because none of us are going to put 100K on these.

[SRT_BluByU]

I plan on it..

I'm assuming this is too good to be true.

Edit: There's a lot of this site cheaply priced, surely I'm missing something.
Edit 2: All from the same seller, yea these can't be legit.

Fantastic deal. Now only if it were true...

[Vipes]

Yeah, I recognize most of the viper pictures from that site as stolen from ebay ads.

[Donato]

There was a similar listing about a month or so back advertising Vipers along with other high-end vehicles for about 50% of market resale value, it has to be a scam of some type.

I'll bet if you call and actually get a hold of someone they'll say they have 10 other buyers that are interested and for a deposit of $$$ you can secure it as your own. Of course they tell that and collect a deposit from the 10 other suckers as well, then just disappear.

You know what they say, there's one born every minute..

Those who've had multiple Gen V's. How is the suspension of the SRT compared to the TA? I know the base SRT doesnt have any suspension settings, while the TA has a street, track setting. Kind of like the GTS, but i think the GTS is the most street friendly.

can someone explain what this suspension is on the SRT?? is it factory option??
