After a long wait, she finally arrived at the dealership today. I ordered it July 3 2019. I've never waited so long for a car in my life but I did end up with one of the last 2020s. Sebring orange, white guts, dual carbon black stripe, high wing, yellow stoppers, Z51 with magnetic ride and full carbon where available. . Too bad it didn't come with studded snows. Its 34 degrees in Erie today..

Leave as is...no dealer prep...trailer it home, store it for 25 years, take it to a Mecum auction, triple your dough!

Beautiful car, great color choices! Be careful driving it - sport tires don't stick well until they heat up.

My father-in-law picked up his a month or so ago after a long wait. From pictures it was just a little too wild for me, but in person it's wayyy too wild for me. For the price, the first year cars are a steal, and are a work of art. I was caught of guard at how loud it was during the first cold start. He had it for two days before someone offered him $10k more than he paid for it.

Seen lots of them destroyed by "techs" putting them on lifts and not thinking about the weight bias to the rear, be very cautious having anyone work on it! Nice ride for something built in the old Chrysler Airtemp plant...LOL
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

A 2004 Viper has 500 horsepower and 525 lb/ft torque and weighs 3410 pounds. What are the specs on one of those things? 250 pounds heavier, 5 less hp, and 55 lb/ft less? I guess if a 16 year old Viper wants the Hammer Lane you should keep right, lol. To each their own, at least those cheap, gawdy looking things will never be mistaken for a real mid-engine European car. Sorry, not sorry to burst your bubble, but it's a goofy-looking rip-off of a hand-built Italian sports car built by a sorry-excuse-for-a-car-company that celebrated their 100th anniversary by going BANKRUPT. Shame on anyone for supporting these Tax-Payer-funded 4sswipes.  What were you expecting? A gushing out-pouring of support on a Mopar site? Definitely not from Me.  Good Gawd even the 2004 ME412 looks more modern than this glorified fiero:

Edit: Great shots of all those fairly new half and three quarter tons all up in the air with the hoods open.  Plenty of job security going on in that shop.

Good Gawd even the 2004 ME412 looks more modern than this glorified fiero: It's all good, your not bursting my bubble at all. I have 7 different brands in my garage. And this is my 1st Chevy. It may be around for a while it may be around for 4 months. Ya never know. Still love the Mopars though. And for the record, I know this car will never compare to my ACR as far as ability on the track, or brute horsepower, but there does have to be a slowest car in my garage.

Good Gawd even the 2004 ME412 looks more modern than this glorified fiero: I may be wrong, but I believe the C8 will take the viper down on acceleration. I followed a guy on Facebook that got one of the first ones several months ago. He ran like an 11.0X within the first few days of ownership lol. Congrats on the purchase, those are cool cars!

Leave as is...no dealer prep...trailer it home, store it for 25 years, take it to a Mecum auction, triple your dough! 25 years....? Better idea. Take the same money, invest it in something worthwhile and make your money 10 fold and save yourself the headaches of staring at something that you are too afraid to drive. Look up what the 'saved' ZR-1's are bringing. Either you buy a car to drive it...or skip buying a car.
Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience
