Full disclosure, no one told me that, that is just my speculation. Not sure how the plant schedules anything, but it makes me wonder since these are limited and they seem to be taking a while to start production and no one can seem to come up with a start date that I am aware of. Hmm
They are building some vehicles for inventory, but not a lot. I think they'll space out the TA2's rather well (building all the sold ones they can)
Makes no sense for them to hold out building TA2 if they've been ordered
I don't believe this would be the case. Building a TA 2.0 is not materially more difficult than building an SRT and probably less complicated than a GTS. The brakes and some suspension parts are different and it has a wing. Front aero is the same, I believe, as the aero kit available on other Vipers. Nothing special about the interior or stereo (12 speaker unit). When they push any Viper down the line they will have a build sheet of some kind that tells them what to put on the car. Put these wheels on, add the 18 speaker setup, put in leather, whatever. The parts are already lined up for each build. Building a TA should be no more difficult than building any other Viper. The only reason they wouldn't be building them yet is if they are waiting on some part specific to the TA like the wing is not yet available from the supplier. Given this and given how they screwed up delivery of customer cars when the Gen 5 first came out, I have every reason to believe my car will be delivered some time in March.
I was told that all the materials to build my car were on site, so they are not waiting on anything, wing, etc. to build the cars, at least not mine anyway. I agree that it is not anymore difficult to build a TA than any other Viper, but at this point of the game, it appears that it is a scheduling decision that is based on whatever the plant decides is the most efficient time to start the builds. I hope your car gets delivered in March and the rest of us are not far behind. I am thinking May for me unless somebody with firm knowledge tells me something different. Are you the gentleman that ordered the TA that is replacing the buy back? If so, have they told you of an accelerated delivery date? Also, when was your order actually placed?

My 2.0 was ordered 11/26/14, like I mentioend before it has its VIN and a scheduled ship date of March 13. Again in D1 limbo status. So anyone's guess is as good as another's when it will actually be built and shipped. I'll be happy to see it by June.
I ordered on 11/26/2014, too, also the blue one. The dealer told me that my TA should be be going down assembly line in first part of March.
My scheduled ship date was 2/10, but that was just a computer generated date which is irrelevant as I have been informed recently. As hard as these things are to get, better hold on to them when you get one.
