Future of the Viper? - 4/20/2008 12:17:01 PM    Jviper   Posts: 321 Joined: 2/15/2006 From: North Carolina Status: offline http://www.autolinedetroit.tv/show/1215 After being bored till she was asked a question about the Viper. She avoided saying anything. She was asked a question. Rumors are that you are dropping the Viper, why keep the Challenger and not a Viper? Even though she did not answer the question this is what she said. There are alot of rumors everywhere. She wanted to talk about productive things. Instead of what could and could not go. She did say a good thing about the VCA. They are the most passionate dedicated group she has ever met and we love them. Then changed the subject to talk about the Journey. So basically they havent made a decision yet. Post #: 1

I will go on the record, no new model Viper will be built (No GEN V if the 08 is a GEN IV).  They may offer something "special" in the last year, like a SC or limited edition. I said be before, if the Viper does go away it will be replaced with something.  Probably a more affordable (60-70) V8 powered car.  Maybe a Barracuda or Road Runner  _____________________________ 94 Viper RT/10<-Click 04 Ram SRT-10<-Click SC! 05 Ram 4x4 Hemi 02 TA WS6 CE (in reply to Jviper) Post #: 2

It seems they went over the top with this new Gen, which may indicate an end of production. They simply can't keep production going simply for the VCA or ViperAlley. _____________________________ BK for teh winz bitches! 84' Mercedes 190D: SOLD 86' Mercedes 190E-16v: Still waiting to get here @ 51k 99' Honda Civic DX:Current DD (in reply to Midnight) Post #: 4

A V8 cant replace a V10. Sure it can, but not in a Viper, without a V10 it can not be a Viper.  _____________________________ 94 Viper RT/10<-Click 04 Ram SRT-10<-Click SC! 05 Ram 4x4 Hemi 02 TA WS6 CE (in reply to Jviper) Post #: 7

And, if it has to be Mopar, how about some CID.  http://www.jimsautoparts.com/mopar_performance_engines.htm < Message edited by 94rt10ohio -- 4/23/2008 4:59:40 PM > _____________________________ 94 Viper RT/10<-Click 04 Ram SRT-10<-Click SC! 05 Ram 4x4 Hemi 02 TA WS6 CE (in reply to Jviper) Post #: 10

And if you want to go forced induction, this sound better at idle and accelleration  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jkwt79AxDQ&feature=related _____________________________ 94 Viper RT/10<-Click 04 Ram SRT-10<-Click SC! 05 Ram 4x4 Hemi 02 TA WS6 CE (in reply to Jviper) Post #: 12
