I had dinner with Ralph Gilles (CEO of SRT) last night up in the Bay Area, after spending all day driving the all-new '13 Viper on- and off-the track (strict embargo prevents me from saying anything more about it until this Wednesday). Ralph is about as good as it currently gets for the domestics — the guy is bright, personable and really likes a fast car. Great conversation about the effort that went into the new Viper. Plus, he is not too proud to ask for opinions or suggestions.
