Next-Generation Viper Being Teased by Chrysler Group

S&L Motors, the leading Green Bay Dodge dealership, is excited to talk about the next-generation 2013 Viper. Chrysler Group’s Street and Racing Technology, SRT, has taken over work on the next-gen Viper and plan on dangling images in front of consumers until its unveil at this year’s New York Auto Show, which is taking place in April.

This whole process is very reminiscent of how Chrysler Group built buzz for the recent reveal of the 2013 Dodge Dart. Currently, SRT already released one teaser image dating back to last month offering the Viper faithful a small, and I mean small, glimpse of what’s to come for the 2013 Viper.

One thing that Viper enthusiasts do know is that the SRT team has updated the Viper logo, titled “Stryker,” to a more aggressive look. SRT is using their Facebook page to reveal all of the teaser images up until the vehicle’s unveiling in April and definitely has people speculating about what’s to be expected on the next-gen Viper.

Although much is not known regarding the 2013 Viper, we do know a few things. SRT stated that it will feature traction control for the first time in Viper history, although federal law made it mandatory. On top of that, the powertrain hasn’t been confirmed but several motorheads are gossiping that this new Viper could feature a V10 8.7-liter engine. If that is the case we have to ask ourselves a question, does it get any better?

If you’re looking for more information on the next-generation Viper keep tabs on S&L Motors’ blog as we will keep you posted up until the Viper’s release date in April. If you’re looking for a new Dodge in Green Bay, WI look no further than S&L Motors.

Chrysler Group’s “It’s Halftime in America” Has Everyone Buzzing

By emarketing | Posted in Chrysler Group on Friday, February 10th, 2012 at 9:00 AM

Whether you’re a Giants or Patriots supporter, or commercial enthusiast, odds are you watched Super Bowl 46 on February 5^th. With a dramatic packed ending leaving the New England Patriots on the short-end of the stick, many people were buzzing from the commercials and one in particular, Chrysler Group’s “It’s Halftime in America.”

For those that missed it here is the script, which was narrated by Clint Eastwood.

“It’s halftime. Both teams are in their locker room discussing what they can do to win this game in the second half.
It’s halftime in America, too. People are out of work and they’re hurting. And they’re all wondering what they’re going to do to make a comeback. And we’re all scared, because this isn’t a game.

The people of Detroit know a little something about this. They almost lost everything. But we all pulled together, now Motor City is fighting again.

I’ve seen a lot of tough eras, a lot of downturns in my life. And, times when we didn’t understand each other. It seems like we’ve lost our heart at times. When the fog of division, discord, and blame made it hard to see what lies ahead.
But after those trials, we all rallied around what was right, and acted as one. Because that’s what we do. We find a way through tough times, and if we can’t find a way, then we’ll make one.

All that matters now is what’s ahead. How do we come from behind? How do we come together? And, how do we win?

Detroit’s showing us it can be done. And, what’s true about them is true about all of us.

This country can’t be knocked out with one punch. We get right back up again and when we do the world is going to hear the roar of our engines. Yeah, it’s halftime America. And, our second half is about to begin. “

Pretty powerful stuff. This is clearly a metaphor for Chrysler Group(rest of Detroit Auto manufacturers) and their crawl from the depths back into the automobile limelight. Chrysler Group recently repaid both their debts to the Canadian Government and the U.S. treasury six years ahead of schedule and with interest. 2011 was the first year that Chrysler Group has recorded a gain in quite some time and now that they are freed from past debt expect big things in the future.
