The Viper is coming back

Someone at General Motors may want to call St. Patrick, because Detroit is about to be overrun by snakes.
Chrysler has confirmed that the next generation Viper will be built at the car’s traditional home, the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant. The factory was shut down in July 2010 when the model went on hiatus. By reopening it, 150 new jobs will be created.
During its 15 year production run, 20,070 of the Corvette killers were turned out by the specialty facility. The last one was a custom bronzed gold coupe with copper racing stripes built for D'Ann Rauh and her husband Wayne, owners of largest private collection of Vipers in the world, over 40 of them.

The next generation car is set to enter production in late 2012 and apparently be marketed under the newly-formed SRT brand this time around, rather than Dodge.
In July, SRT President and CEO Ralph Gilles told FoxNews.com that “the Viper is one of those products that is pretty much an SRT product from scratch,” adding that “it will have an umbilical cord back to Dodge, because that’s kind of where its roots are, but predominantly we positioned it as an SRT.”

LOL...U took the words right out of my post I was getting ready to send.

Interesting. I'm glad they are re-opening the plant too!

Vipers are fast, they are excellent race cars, but they are ( I never drove a 2nd gen, so I am basing this on some old information) terrible cars. They have ikea flat pack build quality, and they seem to be made of parts from Chrysler's lost and found. The exhaust note sounds like 4 Civics raping eachother, and parts are 9x more expensive than they should be. They squirm all over the road tracking into ruts and potholes, pieces of the interior trim fall off while idling at traffic lights.

But they will get you laid (if you can still move after the damage the seat/suspension has done to your lower back)

'96 in Blue/white would be my dream. Hard top. I think the soft top looks horrible. I can't wait to see the new gen though.

That spoiler is horrendous

sounds like my uncles tractor in that video.

.. yeah, sounds like shit.

It wouldn't matter because it would be so far ahead of you all that you'd never hear it anyway.

^ this, and god forbid that there be an actual functioning spoiler on a track car!

If I had a car that sounded like that, I woul knowbetter than to post a video of it farting around a gas station.
