Have about $100,000 just sitting around? If so, you might want to look into buying a 2013 Viper SRT. After officially debuting  not too long ago, Chrysler is ready to start taking orders for this street monster. With two base models and over 150,000 combinations, you can build a car that is really like no other.

The SRT Viper base model will have a starting price of $97,395 while the Viper GTS starts at $120,395. This year’s model comes in 6 colors: Adrenaline Red, Black Venom, Bright White, Gunmetal Pearl, Race Yellow and Shadow Blue Pearl. In addition, you can add racing stripes for $4,500-$5,000.

Moving to the inside of the car, it comes standard with a 9 speaker audio system. As for the GTS model, it will come standard with a 12 speaker audio system. Both models are upgradeable to a 18-speaker Harman Kardon^® premium audio system.

Under the hood you are looking at an 8.4-liter, 10-cylinder, 640hp engine that tops out at 206 mph and goes from 0-60 in about 3 seconds. Thanks to the removal of about 100 pounds from the car, the drag coefficient has been reduced to just 0.36 to satisfy your speed needs.

What do you think of the 2013 Viper SRT? Will you be visiting your local SRT dealership to check one out and pick one up?

If you’ve ever wished that you could use SIRI to start you car, your wish has been granted. Brandon Fiquett, a developer and engineer, figured out a way to combine Viper’s SmartStart program with SIRI, which lets him start his Acura through his phone.

According to Fiquett, “The command is sent from Siri to a Viper server, then relayed via cellular connection to the car. The car then broadcasts an update via RF to the key chain remote. It can arm/disarm as well.”

The plug-in created to make this work interacts with a script that allows the user to send commands to any car registered through the Viper SmartStart System.

The hack makes it possible to lock the doors, open the trunk and even turn on the car alarms all through voice technology.

People who are technically proficient should be able to re-program their own iPhones to use voice to start their cars by following Fiquett’s directions. A good place to start is at Fiquett’s website.

Keep in mind that using the hack could cause a security lapse or even damage your phone, so use at your own risk.
