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.”

2013 SRT Viper Gets Hennessey Treatment

The tinkerers over at Hennessey Performance have been notorious for their custom work on vehicles and the insane amount of raw power they are able to unleash through their modifications.  They put the 2013 SRT Viper under the knife and built one monster of a machine.  Be wary, this thing may melt some faces.

The nick-name they’ve given their Viper Frankenstein is the appropriate Venom 700R.  In order to achieve maximum results, they refitted the Viper with a new high-end cat exhaust, stainless long tube headers, and a K&N air filter.

What the Venom 700R delivers in the end is nothing short of spectacular.  This supped up Viper is capable of 0 to 60 in 3.1 seconds and tops out at 216 miles per hour.  That puts it equal with the F12 Berlinetta.  This thing is certainly a monster.

Hennessey posted a video of their Viper creation up on YouTube and it’s a must see for anyone craving the raw power that only the Viper can deliver on.  Have a look:

‘Body and Soul’ Ad Campaign Launches to Highlight SRT Vehicles

SRT is beginning a new marketing campaigned aimed at letting drivers know that they are a major brand in the Chrysler family.

“The launch of this campaign marks a significant step forward for us and establishes the SRT brand’s legacy as a vital component of our company,” said SRT head Ralph Gilles.

The campaign, named “Body and Soul,” started the 8th of this month and will be running all summer long in 30, 60, and 90 second spots on TV.

On YouTube, the SRT team put together an extended version of the commercial.

The ads play up the legacy of the muscle car, really hitting the hit nostalgia notes for the golden age of the powerhouse vehicle.

So will this series pay off in the way SRT wants it too?  Jack Nerad, a market analyst at Kelley Blue Book, seems to think so.  He believes that the commercials may cause more of the enthusiasts to the SRT brand which could lead to better overall sales for Chrysler.

With the Viper under their wing, SRT is really making head-way into establishing themselves as one of the premier auto-makers in the US.  It makes sense that they would want to make sure people see them as a whole brand.
