I recently took my car in for the recalls and they notified me that my engine needs to be replaced due to oil contamination. I guess it's a good thing since I'll get a '16 engine. Kinda have mixed feelings about it.

I'm looking for a dealer to do my recalls and this one is closest to me. Has anyone had any experience with this dealer? I called and they said they have a Viper tech. Thanks.

Lance, you might have to use your voucher if they build this! 

Just got back from the SRT Viper Experience and it was Awesome! 12 of us drove an autocross and road course at Las Vegas Speedway in Gen 5's provided by SRT. For those that bought a gen 5 I highly recommend attending this event.

If you were thinking about getting a Gen 5 then this might be a good time to pick one up!

[Come on out and push your Viper to the limit and beyond without worrying about hitting anything except maybe a cone! This will be a semi-private autocross with a total of about 25 cars. If we get enough people from our club it might end up being like our own private autocross! You can sign up at the link below which only lists Sunday 9/14 and they will move anyone from our group over to Saturday 9/13. This is a perfect opportunity for first timers to try it out in a very small group.]

Finally back in a street Viper and it sure feels good! Sold my Porsche last Wednesday and bought the Viper on Thursday. I found it in Texas so Dan and Cathy Everts were nice enough to go check it out for me.
It arrived Saturday evening only 3 days after purchase, very fast delivery!
So far I've driven it about 150 miles and I have to say this is definitely the best Viper ever. I can't understand why the magazines rag on the Viper so much. The Porsche was nice but the Viper is more exciting and has that street presence.
It's a SRT with the upgraded infotainment option, leather seats, and track package. Hope to see more gen 5's in the club soon!
