Mid engine Viper?
Probably old news but looks like Dodge is going mid engine with the viper. If it true hopefully the C8 will fair well against it.

This was a story that came out back in May and actually FCA said it was false and there were no plans for the viper. I dont see why people make articles like this without even doing 2 mins of research. Hopefully it will come back though.

The Viper has been a huge money loser for Dodge, its toast.

I'm going disagree that the Viper is toast. It just needs an opportunity of timing and investment. FCA has been in a position, that I agree...if it happens it'll likely be years from now. Considering FCA's connection to Ferrari though, I theorized the moment that it was announced the Viper was dying that this was going to be a death like the 4th gen Camaro. FCA has to get their footing, they have to re-establish direction and then you WILL see the Viper re-emerge, and I think it'll re-emerge with a big dose of Ferrari DNA similar to the Gallardo/R8/Huracan sharing.

While I do agree, how many re-do’s does FCA, Chrysler, Dodge, SRT, FIAT, Ram, whatever it is they are call needs to get the message? They just need to look at the Corvette to see why it’s still ticking. If you parked a gen 2 GTS next to a C7, the GTS is going to get more attention all day. It's hard to argue any Corvette having the ability to command the initial attention a Viper can. The Corvette throughout the years has had enough styling to keep it exciting while they polished everything about the car. The Viper stuck to a formula so hard it just couldn't change because then it wouldn't be Viper. I miss the car but unless they make it a broader appealing car, it's more money down the drain for the company trying to make it. I think they should just keep the fork stuck in it at this point. It's beyond a remarkable car but it has pigeon holed itself so hard at this point. |

Also you can track the showroom car for more than two laps and it won't go into limp mode...Oh and no orange peel and real painted stripes. ;) Mustang guys are always yapping how it beats Camaro and Challenger in sales...The McDonalds cheeseburger has been the best selling burger of all time for decades....its a shitty hamburger.... |
