Dodge to sell Viper Brand

[dc5jimbo]

good i hate the viper and every thing about it. z06>srt10 any day all day and for life

[gingervette]

I share the same opinion. a smart move for Chrysler Co. would be to put a V8 into the Viper instead of the current V10. This would mean better fuel economy and a cheaper cost to build the car. I am not even sure why they put a V10 in it to begin with because, they wanted to compete with the Corvette, which at that time, had a V8 in it for the last 39 years. But I suppose if the Viper gets killed off that will leave the foreign car competition wide open for the the Corvette, more specifically, the ZR1

Isn't the ZR1 a limited run car though? So it's not really mass market like the Viper was. Other than that I agree there is no real need for the V10 and the Corvette is the better car imo.

Vette fans, urgh ¬¬"

[dc5jimbo]

vette is cheaper and more sexy and more fun to drive :D

[Baltoman]

in your opinion

[t.]

Viper has a better name.. thats about all I can come up with.

Don't cry fanboy. It'll be Okay.

[Baltoman]

your like the rudest member in this forum. WTF is wrong with you?

[t.]

Nothing is wrong with me. Be open minded, step away from the Viper. Chill.

becauz teh Twmz actz liek an idiot with mez

 

@Twm: No, I'm not stepping away from anything here, I have a great passion for the Viper and because of that I'll defend it. What if your favorite car brand was going to be sold to a damn tuner or to who knows what? I bet you'd get pretty angry too.

Yea it's a shame, but unless you can front up the multi billions of $ that Dodge/Chrysler needs to stop them selves collapsing completely there is little you can do. If nothing else at least the Viper will survive when Dodge/Chrysler go under. ;)

I really like the Viper, its a shame, but I think the Challenger SRT10 is replacing this, since its having the same engine =/

[Baltoman]

but its not the same type of car ;)

Please note that the Viper isn't going anywhere. Its just changing homes.

 

The freakouts are not necessary.

 

If anything, if Dodge were to keep the viper, it would have a MUCH higher chance of dying off than if sold to a tuning company who can focus their production on JUST vipers whereas Dodge is now focusing on Chargers, Challengers, and the current economical situation.

 

The Viper is a 15 year old car and it is exactly the same as it was on day one albeit a new face and now it actually has ABS lol.

A tuner like SMS or Hennessy will be able to further advance the performance of the Viper. The comment made earlier about the Viper being better than the corvette is absolute garbage. The performance differences alone between the viper and vette are enough to make viper owners shoot themselves in the feet. A tuner could close the gap between the viper and vette posing a much more interesting bout between the two cars.

 

its a good thing, so hush :P

[Guest RB26DETT]

imagine a VRAlexander Viper. oooooh tasteh!

 

i still want Dacia to buy it just to annoy Balto. :p

[Nodz86]

Dodge do seem to be focusing on the charger and challenger but SRT versions of them cars that they are producing make them as economical as a Viper.

 

And if the GM Chryslers merger does happen only 1 brand will survive and that will be Jeep. The same thing happened when Jeep was owned by a company that Chrysler bought, all other brands where phased out leaving only Jeep, the same could happen again.

Dacia Viper!!!!!!! :D

 

ROFL!

 

Bad news!, The Dacia Viper is delayed! :p

>:s

 

Anyways, like I said before, if Hennessey buys teh vipa then it's alright for me but PLEASE NO CRAPPY OR JAPANESE TUNERS.

[Samurai Lincoln]

Even worse, there are talks of GM buying out Chrysler. Please, god, I most certainly do not want to see a Chevrolet Corvette. :mad:

[Baltoman]

huh? but the corvette IS from Chevrolet

 

confused now

[Shy Guy]

The 2010 Pontiac Challenger might come =(

 

With a brand new retarded Pontiac Styling, and the Challenger will die just like the GTO did(I won't call this new GTO a GTO, it sucks badly, looks like a sedan with a door cut)
