The VCO's Commitment
Our commitment to "provide an unsurpassed Viper club and ownership experience" has faced increasing challenges since the end of Viper production in 2017, and as the Viper community's resources have weakened ever since. We've dramatically grown our local membership and support, and have now taken the next step to help ensure that Viper parts will be available when we need them, as well as for all other Viper owners.
We've created the Viper Parts Initiative with the full support of Dodge and Mopar to help discontinued parts to be produced again. This initiative and our ever-expanding membership and activities all require time to manage. And we now need more help!
Join the VCO Leadership Team
Many hands make light work, and we're now looking to fill these two roles.
Area Director for GTA-North, including areas north of the GTA
An additional Area Director for GTA-Central
If you have time to help support our club, please contact me to discuss!
