2013 SRT Viper: Behind the Scenes of the Paint-Job

SRT ViperIt’s a secret and well hidden law of the universe that anything painted in red goes faster. It’s science.

There may be other colors, but red just seems right when it comes to any vehicle with the SRT name attached. It’s the iconic color for the Viper.

These aren’t just any ordinary colors though, as the team at SRT is more than willing to explain, these are specifics colors. Each one designed and researched to convey a message about the car and the driver inside. A new Youtube video put out together shows how thorough the engineers are when it comes to giving a SRT a paint-job.

I’ve never really thought of just how much detail goes into just the paint colors. I suppose if you’re going to invest an obscene amount of money in a vehicle with the purpose of making it fast, then you might as well go the extra mile.

So much is made about what goes on before a car is even put into production, about what’s going on underneath the hood. Not much is really shown about the design process that makes sure that all that power and hard-work comes together in a beautiful package.

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.

2013 SRT Viper is Putting the Top Down

UntitledThere’s good news and bad news concerning the 2013 SRT Viper. The good news is that drivers are loving it. That, however, leads into the the bad news, though, unfortunately is that they are sold out. All 800 units of the super car have been purchased (3 of which we know went to Jay Leno).

If you’re in the market for purchasing the new Viper, don’t fret. The company has made it quite clear that they intend to have more available as soon as possible. Chrysler is looking to have about another 700 ready for pre-order in the near future.

That’s not the only news nugget out about the new Viper. With the release of the vehicle completed, it’s time to ask, “What’s next?” In this case, what comes next is bring the roof down, literally.

Ralph Gilles, the CEO of SRT Brand, has started talking about the desire to turn the 2013 SRT Viper into a convertible. As he put it, “The car is designed to be a convertible. Under the skin is a convertible chassis. It’s already there- the stiffness is there. It’s extremely easy should that come, but we’re not in any rush.”

Currently, Chrysler is predicting that a convertible version won’t be out until around 2015. Gilles doesn’t see this as the next step of the vehicle, more like just an additional version of the car.
