      All of them were sold within five days


    Last week, we brought you news that Dodge was planning to build a number of special edition Vipers to commemorate its 25th anniversary and the end of the production run. This week, we bring you the news that all of these models are sold.

     

    According to Dodge, all of the special edition models sold out in five days. Here is the breakdown,

    • 1:28 Edition ACR: Sold out within 40 minutes

    • Snakeskin Edition GTC: Sold out in 2 days
    • GTS-R Commemorative Edition ACR: Sold out in 2 days

    Because of the rapid sales, Dodge is introducing one more special edition. The Snakeskin Edition ACR features a new green color with a snake-skin stripe, the ACR Package, Extreme Aero Package, and a set of carbon ceramic brakes. Like the GTC, there will only be 31 Snakeskin Edition ACRs built. The order books for this model will open later this month.

    This is another way supercars get sold:

    "special editions"

     

    Ferrari is introducing 350 special editions cars.

    70 different versions of each model currently in its lineup to celebrate its 70th birthday.

     

    Lamborghini is making a special edition Aventador or whatever model it is to commemorate the Miura's anniversary.

     

    Ford is introducing special edition GT to commemorate the original GT40 that won Lemans...

     

     

    This method eerily reminds me of another tactic...

    • Not so great colonnade years:  1973 and 1974 Not so great next-gen years:  1978, 1979, and 1980. Consumers had a right to be pissed.  It actually cost more to go from too much (the '77 MC) to too little (the '78 MC), and that's just one example.
    • I was joking. I think he hates the colonnades and the malaise era. More '76 or even '75 GP for me. I had trouble with the '77 lights up front (the center lamp in between) and the taillight medallion with the swoopy wedding invitation calligraphy inside it. I was also sweet on '76 and '75 GLMs for their borrowing from or sharing with the GP (still drool over their fully instrumented dash), but being more manageable in terms of size.
    • I didnt know that.  That is a cool thing to happen.  I didnt even know that electronic communication was not allowed  Hence the camera usage being "frowned" upon...  DUH... I was fooled into thinking that because in the college ranks they allowed for this, that the MLB approved it at their level but old school mentality and teams didnt want to adopt it.   As you know, I dont follow MLB as closely as I used to. Since the Expos skipped town in 2004.  I do watch NCAA womens college softball with my daughter. Religiously I might add.    Many fans feel this way I gather.  Im in tune with the Houston Astros bashing.  I know it exists.  The way I sees it though: The MLB deserves a team like the Houston Astros. 
    • Yeah... I like the Colonnades and like you said, the earlier ones had a certain style on one element that the later ones screwed up but at the same time, the earlier ones had a nicer style on another element  that the later ones screwed up.  And that would be for all Colonnades across the different brands and models.  
    • Because of the Astros, they now allow electronic communication between pitcher/catcher for calling pitches, PitchCom.  Off all the bad things covid brought upon us, the Astros not having to face live crowds after getting caught cheating, is by far the worst.
