well I bought a new 2013!

[financialman]

Hello all,

Like the title says, I bought myself a new 2013 SRT with the track pack, red/blk, leather, red seat belts, msrp of 108K and some change, paid 71K plus fee's.
I think I got a pretty good deal and it wasn't to far away, i'm in Nor Cal and car was in Southern Cal.
Drove down to the dealership on Monday with my girlfriend, and then drove right back home, with the Viper of course

They had the SRT and a GTS, both red, the GTS had a MSRP of 134.5K and I could have purchased for 88K, in the end a chose the SRT as with tax and everything the SRT was still quite a bit cheaper, plus the SRT felt faster, I drove both. SRT was louder too, which I like, perhaps the lack of sound deadening and lighter total weight was the difference. I sure liked the look of the GTS interior though, that Laguna leather is beautiful!

Had a blast driving the 325 miles home, it was much more comfortable then I thought it would be, and 19mpg at 80 mph is pretty good for all this power, did I say this car is FAST! The torque is just amazing, power any where in the rev range, just amazing!
I'm not new to fast cars or vipers in fact, I sold my 2002 acr to get this viper, wish I had the space to keep both, but I do have a italian stable mate to the viper

Funny time at my first and only gas stop, it was 11;00pm by this time and the car still attracted a large crowd, for the life of me I could not figure out how to open the fuel door! I looked everywhere inside that car, couldn't find the answer in the owners book either in my rush, finally one of the cars admirers googled it for me! We both had a good laugh

I want to thank nineball for his videos and threads, that was all it took for me to buy, dodge should be giving you royalties

I will post some pics when I get back home, had to drive right back to LA for biz this week, man I miss the car already. did I say this car is fast!!

Was it at champion or Glendale dodge? Those were the only two dealers that had them last I checked. Congrats on a sweet car. I know I am jealous.

[Zybane]

Nice, welcome to the club. Post pics when able.

[Dman]

Oh, and when you get home, drain all the oil, fill with Mobil1 and triple check your fill to make sure you're good, and check the level regularly through the 1st 2k miles or so.

And yea, pics are must.

No, now he would say the TA's are faster.

[ViperJon]

Congrats and enjoy it!
And check the oil. A lot.

From one Track Pack owner to another, I say congrats and welcome. They really are special cars. I'm having MAJOR cabin fever from not being able to drive mine due to bad weather here. She's been sitting for a month now, with no end in sight. And, yes, the car is fast. I kept saying the same thing when I got mine, and I was coming from a Gen 3, not slow by any means.

This was a leftover new car? That's a helluva deal. Wow.

[Crotalidae]

Congrats & welcome to the best Viper yet!!!

[V10powerr]

Beat me to it - they told me someone was coming in from northern ca- I has asked for wire instructions for 71k already - enjoy the car and post pics - I will live thru u lol

This was a brand new 2013, only had 25 miles on it!
Funny my local Dodge dealers and I have several wouldn't or coudn't even come close to the price I got at Champion
