SRT Viper

Last month, the SRT Viper was honored by the National Automotive History Collection (NAHC) as a “Collectible Car of the Future,” the third time the Viper has received this award.

The SRT Viper beat out 19 other vehicles from 2013 to receive the award. NAHC members voted on the vehicles based on perceived longevity, specifically which vehicle will receive more attention at the Woodward Dream Cruise in 25 years. The Woodward Dream Cruise is the world’s largest one-day automotive event where car enthusiast take their classic cars for a cruise along Woodward Avenue through eight different host communities in Southeast Michigan. Additionally, there is live music, events for the kids, exhibitions, and more. In short, the Woodward Dream Cruise is the ultimate destination for classic cars, making it the perfect judge of a vehicle’s popularity and longevity.

Ralph Gilles, the President and CEO of SRT Brand and Motorsports, received the award from the President of the NAHC Board of Trustees at a recent ceremony. In response to the award, Gilles is quoted, “With fewer than 30,000 Vipers built since the nameplate’s launch in 1992, the Viper has earned its place as a unique, hand-built American exotic supercar. The National Automotive History Collection further recognizes the exclusivity and collectability of our flagship performance machine from Chrysler Group.”

srt-viper-gal-023Here’s a wonderful thing to wake up to.  Imagine that it’s a bright and sunny day out.  You get up and through your morning routine until there’s a knock at the door.  Outside is a delivery man with a large trailer in your driveway.  Inside is the car of your dreams waiting to be unwrapped.

That’s the fantasy, but someone did get to experience something similar.  A man by the name of Brian Zuk uploaded a video to his YouTube page that shows, with exuberant glory, the delivery of a 2013 SRT Viper GTS.

He labeled the video as the “First US Delivery” even though that shouldn’t be the case.  The honor of being the first went to the person who won the $300,000 auction and was handed the keys the head-honcho of SRT Ralph Gilles.

Still, the matter of who was first doesn’t matter.  What does is how amazing it is to see.  Give the video a watch and see how simply cool it looks to have a SRT Viper delivered to your doorstep.
