Is the Viper on the chopping block?

They announced its death couple years ago. The money they will save off it will help upgrade lower end models which should help boost sales where there are more buyers.

The article doesn't make it sound like it's going away:NoNo:
2013.....Same fangs, more comfort:thumbsup: Quote:

1) A rise in value for the older, more basic models (some people want that crude race car feel), as collectors cars and such. 2) A "new" breed of buyer that wants the speed, handleing, and creature comforts (a la the Z06/ZR1 buyer) and has the $$$ to afford it. Of course, this would be pricepointed in the Z06/ZR1 range as well...another ++ for Chrysler:thumbsup: Heck, if they made the improvements, and I hit the lottery, I'd buy one in a second! I've always loved the look of the Viper! But I didn't care for the raw feel on the street. For that kind of $$$ I could buy the vette and still keep my spleen, hearing, kidneys....:lmao::lmao: Overall, if they do what the article implies, you'll see a 2013+ Viper with the same or better HP, better handling characteristics, and over all, better streetability. Who knows? Maybe AC and a decent stereo system as well? Traction control? This ought to get good! |
I personally hope not. I'm fortunate to have drove a Viper before, and I was wise enough to know not to press that car. And that's a large part of the fun of that car, knowing that there isn't some computer to save you. I wish that there were more cars like it out there, so it will be a sad day if they end up turning it into... every other sports car. I'd rather see it end now then see them turn it into another Corvette (the ones we have now do just fine).
Hopefully they will bring it back someday, in the same raw "pure" sports car spirit. Quote:
