The recent of Edition of Autoweek discusses the 2013 Wish List and their number one choice for a vehicle is the 2013 Viper. Super positive article and puts Stryker as numero uno on the " Lust List!" Pretty interesting that these guys see this as the seminal vehicle for the coming year and a wonderful advance on the Viper and Viper name.

In other Chrysler news, the 2013 Ram follows winning 2013's " Texas Truck of the Year," with Motor Trend announcing the new 1500 machine is their choice for " Truck of the Year," also!!!

$97,395 base price for an SRT10, shipping $1995, and gas guzzler $2600 = $101,990. So actual base price, like magazines do note , is actually under 100K and they are nailing it to the wall , as the top pick for 2013! Bout time for a little positivity!!??

I agree the car is great (evolutionary not revolutionary) and will be the biggest treat of the year for those who are lucky enough to get one! I want to drive one! Bill, be sure to let me know when there will be another event in Colorado! I haven't even had a chance to see one let alone get behind the wheel. Or better yet, invite me to a track event to test drive one!

Won't be a track event , but we should have a Demonstrator in February or March of 2013 --likely March. Close for the weather to turn and the car will be here for awhile as SRT will not allow them to be sold for 6 months. Let you know when it arrives ! Having driven one at speed, it is a strong machine , but the ride has improved dramatically!
