I agree. Chrysler need to stop sending these fully loaded $140k+ Viper GTS out to these test drives and reviews. This is from Autoblog:

The base price of a premium GTS model sits at $124,985. Bumping up the sticker on my press car was the $7,500 GTS Laguna Interior package (Sabelt premium seats, Alcantara headliner, SRT steering wheel, SRT premium audio and more), $5,000 for painted black racing stripes, $350 for red seatbelts, $1,100 for the forged wheels and a $2,600 gas-guzzler tax. Including $1,995 for destination, the total MSRP was $140,930.

This is also what they have flooded the dealerships with, and that is why they are still sitting there. I know they want to show off the new interior because the previous Vipers were bagged on it so much but now the majority thinks that this is the Viper's actual price.

First thing, is get rid of the GTS. There shouldn't be a two tier Viper system. It should be the SRT base as the start (which started at $99,000 its first year), with the GTS model's two-mode Bilstein DampTronic shock absorbers as an option (like MRC for Corvette). Then IF WHOEVER WANTS TO make all of the good interior, seats, etc. options just like Porsche. You can easily run up a price of a 911 in options, but at least that will be what the owner does or doesn't want on the car.
