Viper is dead... again...

-
Not so surprising IMO. While the car is a monster powered animal, the handling issues were never hammered out and the design has remained largely unchanged. To a degree, it has become, ho hum when you see one. Nothing fresh to look at.
 
I think they should switch to the Hemi many years ago and drop a big chunk off the price.
 
Viper has outlived its own legend...dropping back to a hemi would remove the mystique of the V10...the style is as stated about ho-hum after all these years...a mercy kill is in order to allow those surviving the chance to rise on the collector chart..it was never meant to be a car for the masses....as much as I hate to see Mopar lose a nonsense car, it may be the best call...
 
I wish I fit in them.
 
The last few years there were quite a few cars left over they could not sell and it would take a total redo to meet the 2017 safety standard's. Just not in the cards. Can't imagine the C-7 Corvette helped things as well.
 
Did any of you "Viper-handling" guys see the revamped (British) Top Gear?

The Viper (& it's handling) DOMINATED the corvette.

Plus it has a ridiculous, swag-9000 rear wing that creates TONS of down force. (It looks like a cartoon)

Sorry....but they got it hammered out....and I mean HAMMERED OUT. The new ACR is the bomb. Quite a swan song to go out in.
