I hate to see any company kill off an enthusiast car.
The car looses money... always has. In these tough times it makes sense to evolve the car. I'll be they're going to let everyone think it's going away only to release some 2012 details to get everyone fired up.

I really hope Viper sticks around. It's basically an American exotic. I put the Viper in the category of Ford GT, not Corvette. It'd be too much to ask for them to come out with something totally new and comparable to the Corvette or even Camaro. Then again... I'd hate to see another Prowler


...and there is no "t" in Chrysler
If the Viper could command a Ford GT price it might make money... but it can't. I'm sure the FGT lost money, but that was truly a halo car. The concern was that if Viper was sold off you'd loose the economies of scale keeping the price down and a $90k car would become a $150k car.

IDGAF, it was the one mainstream domestic exotic we had left, and Dodge is extinguishing it. From a dollars and cents standpoint, I would think it would make more sense to kill off the shitbox Dodges that no one cares about, let alone buys. (Seriously, have you ever driven a Caliber SRT-4? It combines all the shittiness of a normal Caliber, then goes on to show you that the chassis is completely overwhelmed by the power! WTF Dodge?) Then have Dodge focus solely on building trucks, sedans, and a few better performance vehicles.

My two cents.

Not all Viper owners are cocky pricks who think their cars are god's gift to earth ..

But that sucks though, kinda makes me wonder when Lamborghini will cease producing Gallardos

I suppose you could call the ZR1 a domestic exotic, but I think the pricetag is nearly as ridiculous as that idiotic GT500KR thing.

To me, the Viper was the last remaining mainstream domestic exotic. The ZR1 and GT500KR variants are just tarted up models. But to each their own.
