    Ran into Ralph and a few Gen V's today!

    Thanks to Ralph and Team SRT for taking time to make the trip to Cars & Coffee today.

    The entire team was very generous with their time. It was very cool to see Ralph letting all the kids sit in and take pics in the Viper! AWESOME!

    SRT had 2 Viper and two very cool Drag cars. ( I'm not an expert on those so, I'm sure other will comment.) They sounded BADASS. GO SRT!

    Thanks to the SoCal Club for the heads up. www.socalviper.com













    Not me LOL



    Ralph even called a Brand new GTS owner that was too lazy to get out of bed ..... cough.... your welcome....

    (And as far as I know there was no discussion about future product. It was all about how cool Vipers are!)

    Nice to see all those snakes. And it is very cool that Ralph takes the time to go to a C&C, and shares our passion.

    +1 I feel so bad for Ralph with the slow sales. I don't think I have ever seen a CEO this passionate, or involved with the whole community. Wish I could help new Viper sales, but unfortunate I just cannot afford a Gen 5(Orange TA). Looks like a good turnout.

    Great day here in SoCal, reason #10 why you want to be a viper owner out here.

    Along with Ralph was Mark Tresel, Tommy Kendall and Jonathan Bomarito. Ralph was just here in December. He and all the guys are very approachable take the time to talk cars, racing, etc., on one one and with everybody. (Patrick Long the porsche racer was checking out the vipers too.)

    Thanks Dave for posting the pictures!

    Thanks to Lance for setting this up!


    We had about 20 vipers there, great to see some folks I hadn't seen in awhile

    Great to talk vipers, upgrades, future events, etc. Get off your keyboards, gen5 debating and go have fun with your viper.

    It's cool to put a face to a brand. I remember meeting Valentino Balboni from Lambo for the first time; I unfortunately didn't have my car with me so I had him sign a Lambo hat I was wearing. If I met the SRT guys it would be cool to have them sign the engine, ESP Dick Winkles & Ralph.

    I think sales are going to get better. The weather is getting nicer. I had 3 friends of mine pick up their new GenV Vipers this week. Wish I could get one. Wonderful machine.

    Yeah... I figured a little call from "The Boss" at 7AM would shake the sleep out of you eyes!

    After all I can't help myself.. I'm wired that way > http://businessjournal.gallup.com/co...activator.aspx

    I am in an awful state until I have 2 cups of espresso forte in the morning... The fog is intense...

    On Mondays, don't call JonB... On any morning don't ask VG for much before 2 espressos... LOL

    He has hung with us (and the LX/LY crowd) at Carlisle for two years in a row now. Very cool dude, and I've had the chance to speak with him

    Doesn't get any better than Ralph and the SRT gang.

    Still love the white/black ACR's. One of my favorites.

    Dude that's so cool, you'll never get to experience that with a new Z06. Extremely cool!
