nice. but i think I would have a concern taking a $120k car to a dodge dealer for service. I don't think i would have that concern if i took a $120k porsche to a porsche dealer for service

I'm sure it will be like how Nissan works on the GTRs. You take your Viper to a dealer with an authorized SRT Viper tech.

Exactly what I was thinking. No way does the guy who does a neon (or w/e else) do you viper

Side note: I wish GTR techs would do the Z's too

my concern is not about the competency of the mechanics but about having an expensive car like that parked in a dealer that sells/services regular cars. The car would stand out and sometimes bad things could happen. I would have a little concern taking a GTR to a Nissan dealer for service too, but this Viper is a lot more expensive!

Make sure you take it to a good dealer then and do a before and after inspection with the GM of the dealer.

Ultimately, there will always be a risk taking a vehicle like that anywhere, not just a dealer. Drive it, love it, and understand it WILL get a paint chip.

I really like it!

And correct me if I am wrong but dealers have mechanics that are certified to work on the Viper. Not all dodge dealers have a mechanic that can work on them

This car is gonna be sick! I'm really glad they went back to the original design language. One of my all time favorite car.

Anyone else notice the "oh ****" handle for the passenger side? I thought that was inventive and says a lot about the car. LOL
