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 |

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.

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!

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. |

exactly so Viper base is on par with gtr Base.
I agree with above, get to know the dealership / owner of dealership. Find a guy you trust there and make sure only he touches your car (including when you give it to them in the service bay)

I was about to say the same regarding the headlights. Tail lights look familiar too. Maybe Aston Matin ish.
