90% of SRT Viper Pre-Orders are for the Viper GTS

srt-viper-gal-084There’s one thing to be said about people who purchase a Viper, they don’t skimp on the cost.  That way I see it, it makes sense.  Why would you purchase a high-class speed-demon like the SRT Viper if you weren’t going willing to invest in getting the best there was?

Most car purchasers don’t think that way though.  Most buyers, especially early adopters, tend to play it safe and go with just the base model.  SRT is reporting that Viper pre-orders show a rare occurrence.  Buyers are more interested in driving off the lot in the GTS trim than the base model.  90 percent of the orders placed to be more exact.

I can’t say I blame the buyers.  For a $23k difference in price, there’s a sweet host of features that give an extra sense of luxury.  Features such as Sabelt seats with Nappa leather that come in three different colors, advanced suspension and stability control systems, SRT designed leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the Uconnect system complete with voice command.

It’s clear that people who purchase and who drive a Viper just won’t settle for second best.

Jalopnik Reviews 2013 SRT Viper GTS

How would you like to be called up by Chrysler one morning and asked to test drive the new SRT Viper? What if they sweetened the deal by flying you out to California to compare said test drive with the 2006 Viper?  Such seems to be the life of a writer for Jaloponik which causes me all kinds of jealous rage.

Mike Spinelli was given the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the highly anticipated 2013 SRT Viper GTS. What was his take on it? I would say he walked away so impressed that it left him dizzy. So much so that he is telling his readers to to realigned their expectations of the modern sports car.

His love for the Viper is apparently through-out. Most notably is how much his thoughts on the interior design has changed. The old insides where “cramped, cheap, and had a transmission tunnel that could cook a standing rib roast.” Thanks to the upgrades that were made with the Kevlar cushion and fiberglass shell, those previous complaints are gone. “The cockpit feels more snug, which is a subtle difference, but an important one.”

All it took was spending a day with the past and present of the Viper to turn one car lover into a devoted fan of the new SRT. “The new Viper is everything a sports car should be, tight, capable, immensely powerful, usable, and absolutely out of its goddamn mind.”
