2013 SRT Viper is a Beast on the Track

The SRT Viper is a beauty to watch perform. Watching it burn out on a race-track is simply tantalizing. It shows off all the raw power the Viper has.

TFLcar wanted to see a different side to the Viper. They took the super car out to the Sonoma Raceway in Northern California. It also happened to be in the middle of a rain downpour. Oh, and if that wasn’t enough, they even switched off the traction control. The result was recorded in a raw and unedited video that they uploaded to Youtube. Take a look for yourself:

I can’t even imagine what it would be like to be the passenger during those drifts. There seemed to be a combination of fear and adrenaline when her glazed-over eyes peaked out from the passenger seat.

In other news, the Viper also managed to do another incredible thing on the track. In an incredible feat that is a testament to the quality behind its design, the Viper managed to complete a quarter mile in just 11.1 seconds! Drag Time put that video on Youtube as well for people to marvel and drool over.

2014-SRT-Viper-TA-front-three-quarters-in-motion-3The team up at SRT are not fooling around with the new SRT Viper TA. First shown at the New York Auto Show, since then the engineers have been working the Viper hard around the track. They’ve put a lot of work into making sure that it can keep improving in speed times.

To explain what they’ve done to enhance the performance in the TA since it was unveiled, SRT put out a video showing it speed around the race track. Watching it makes it quite clear they are out to prove that the SRT name has a high standard of quality to meet.

Many new features have been implemented to push the Viper TA. One example is mentioned by Motor Authority as the “addition of a carbon fiber rear spoiler and a two-piece front splitter.” This allows for the Viper to have an increase of 280 pounds in downforce.

Speed demons would do well to give the video a watch. A lot of work going into a car that’s only going to have 33 models made.

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.

Interested in getting either the base model or the SRT Viper GTS?  Contact us at Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge.  You’ll work with the best quality of customer service in the Queens area.  We love to say yes!  Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for more SRT news and to see our monthly service and parts specials.
