    I used to sell SC's I'm sorry they are pointless cars. If your going to make a convertible with a back seat, it should be useable by more than groceries and midgets. And if your going to put a V8 in it it better have more than 300hp.

    I'm sad to see the Viper go not because of some misguided loyalty to American cars or because I really like it, but because it is an unapologetic sports car. It isn't civil, and if you couldn't handle that, then Dodge didn't want you to buy it. Reminds me of an old ad out of BMW's Motorsports division; they said that if you don't like something about the behavior of the M3, then they don't want you to have one.

    seemed to me though, like all mopar late vehicles, they look outdated so quick. the corvette didnt have that affect, to me at least, even old, it still looked brand new car, if u feel where i'm trying to come from

    Maybe it wasn't the execution that I liked, but the intentions behind it. I remember that for a while Chrysler had good engineering, but bad applications of their ideas.

    yea, true, which is why i never really like mopar like that..viper i loved when i was growing up, cuz i only heard of the large engine..but getting older, u learn that its not all about the engine size..its a compilation of best bang for your buck. and i'm a kind of person that likes a car to be like wine, get better w/ age, not age and look used before its time to be crushed, na meen. seems like the viper was over rated to an extent..now three dodges i wouldnt mind owning is the viper srt-10, srt-8 and the new challenger (preferably the one that was posted on here a wk ago

    one is turbo, the other NA, and due to the emissions standards, they won't let the DET be used. but i'm sure people do it anyway.

    Very valid point. I remember being younger and judging a car only by the number of cylinders. And as the person who posted that link to the ten could that's could have been awesome list (or whatever it was) proved, it takes more than brute force to create an excellent, well rounded car.

    I drive a 240 lol. If Nissan had wanted to make the FI SR work in America, they could have. But at some point someone crunched out a cost/benefit analysis and decided it wasn't worth it. The DOT/environmental people didn't just black list every motor with a turbo on it, obviously since there are any number of them mass produced.

    And yes, people do it anyway. There is one that sleeps in my garage every night.

    I always found it ironic that it was the French that represented the Viper better than anyone else. Oreca to be exact.

    This is almost like when the GT40 and the 917 left us. I really do hope either Saleen or someone of that caliber picks up on the project. Kinda like what Caterham did for the Lotus 7 and Superformance did for the Cobra.
