    • Two new models include SRT Viper and SRT Viper GTS
    • All-aluminum, mid-front 8.4-liter V-10 engine delivers 640 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque – the most torque of any naturally aspirated sports car engine in the world

    • Dealer orders expected to open in mid-November 2012

    September 10, 2012 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Chrysler Group's Street and Racing Technology (SRT) brand today announced pricing for the two models of the all-new 2013 SRT Viper.

    2013 SRT Viper

    Manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for the 2013 SRT Viper model is $97,395 (excluding $1,995 destination)

    The SRT Viper offers a blend of extreme performance and deliberate preservation of what has become the iconic DNA of the Viper to deliver a supercar that continues to bring the driver as close as possible to the machine

    2013 SRT Viper GTS

    MSRP for the 2013 SRT Viper GTS model is $120,395 (excluding $1,995 destination)

    The SRT Viper GTS builds on the DNA of the SRT Viper model with more technologically advanced solutions, like two-mode active suspension, to allow this world-class GTS to find new capabilities on the track while also opening up its envelope as a more premium and mature evolution of the classic, extreme performance formula

    Under the hood of both models is the all-aluminum, mid-front 8.4-liter V-10 engine that delivers 640 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque – the most torque of any naturally aspirated sports car engine in the world.

    Both SRT Viper and SRT Viper GTS models offer new interior and exterior designs incorporating premium materials. New exterior surfaces with aerodynamically functional details are beautifully integrated into the high-tech carbon fiber and aluminum skin, which helps produce a triple-digit weight reduction and a Viper best power-to-weight ratio.

    On the inside, designers and engineers strived to rethink all touch points; and upgrade all material appointments and technologies.

    Production of the iconic supercar will begin at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit – the home for Viper since 1995 – in November 2012. Dealer orders are expected to begin in mid-November 2012.

    Exciting, but I have to wonder how many people will step up to order with the current global economy. With credit charges down 17% and the clear facts that the rich are not spending money, one wonders how successful this launch will be.

    Now the reduction in charging is a good thing for the long term viability of this country as people get debt paid off and then will have more free disposable income.

    • Interesting times for sure with Idiot47 getting his way, EV credits end September 30th along with Emission credits and with that, the Auto Industry will no longer have to buy clean emission credits to offset ICE emissions.  End result, Tesla will not have the $10 billion plus sales of emission credits to keep Tesla in the black. I suspect that Q3 will also be continued shrinkage of Tesla market share and loss of sales. This is going to push Tesla into the red as a money losing company. Interesting times for sure for Tesla. The robotaxi service just had their first accident, sales are tanking, and no robots are going to be sold for personal use. A Tesla robotaxi inexplicably drove into a parked car
    • My son and his wife love their 2024 Telluride, bought 4 weeks before my EV9 purchase and already with almost the same amount of miles with the higher gas prices here, they are already thinking of replacing Karina's Honda Fit with an EV for Alex to use to commute into the city for his Amazon job. He does drive the Honda Fit, but coming up on 250,000 miles and lots starting to require repairs. So Alex is looking at their EV options.
    • A good example of how much cheaper charging at home is versus gasoline: I've since driven my Navigator 4801 miles, averaging 16.6mpg and have spent a total of $927.59 (averaging $3.20gal).  ~1/4 of the miles and 124% of the cost.  I know these aren't the same "class" or size of vehicle, but that's a very significant amount of savings. By the time I drive 19,204 miles (for simple math's sake I just multiplied 4801 by 4), I will spend roughly $3710 to your $757. That's 4.9 times more expensive for me than you.  This also goes to show how quickly one can recoup money when buying an EV and the installation cost alone is paid for in one year.  Just for fun I want to compare your EV9 to a Telluride AWD at 20mpg (the rated combined MPG). At 20mpg and $3.20/gal and 19,000 miles of driving, that's $3040. That's still a very significant amount of money in one year.  Granted, for somebody like myself who isn't driving nearly 20k miles a year, the savings wouldn't pile on nearly as quick but, we all still get the point across. Also, my electricity rates are a little higher at 11-13c/Kw.

    • I think it has more to do with the vendor and their software improvements. Tesla used to have huge variance between what they estimated miles of a battery pack was and what you actually got and as they improved the software and had more real-world driving data, they tweaked the software to be far more accurate. Kia has had their quarterly updates since we got the EV9 and it was pretty consistent on the old numbers. Just had a major quarterly update and this time it clearly stated that the software that manages the battery pack and predicts the range on a charge was getting more accurate due to miles driven by owners. As such, I think one of two things has happened, either A) they improved the estimation of range based on driving style or B) like Tesla and others, they are allowing less reserve battery pack and more actual driving from the battery pack based on efficiency of the whole EV in regard to how one uses the heat pump, electrics, etc. I think like anything, the first few years will not see any degradation and afterwards there will be some based on charging style DC versus slower home AC charging, driving style and feature/functions that are used.
