Fiat kills the Viper - Page 3

The current Grand Caravan is rubbish. I don't see how the kids in the back would enjoy the ride unless you lived in Texas and all the roads were perfectly straight. Plus, like many American cars, if you don't order all the options, it will be VERY obvious because you'll have flimsy cubbies in the place of all the options, and half the buttons won't work.

I won't personally miss it, or much from Chrysler for that matter. Keep the Grand Cherokee, Wrangler, Town & Country and Ram truck. They can scrap everything else and bring in fresh Fiat models.

You like a Town & Country more than a Viper? You must really hate Vipers

. They are not for everybody but unless you have driven a performance car with this much power you probably just don't get it. I respect your opinion but it does surprise me. No offense intended.

The Viper didn't change much visually but it did change from a performance perspective - The first-generation model (1992-1995) produced 400 hp. In 1996, Dodge updated the original RT/10 roadster and came out with the GTS coupe, which had 450 hp. The all-new model that came out in 2003 had 510 hp, which was increased to 600 hp in 2008.

The ACR changed the look of the Viper in a pretty major way - Very true.

Well...to be honest, I wouldn't want to be seen driving either. I know the Viper is a beast, but it is pure American cheese, IMO. No thanks. Sometimes performance and numbers just really don't matter. They were cool for a few years when they first came out though.

Jewelthief, if you pulled up to my house to drive me somewhere in that lime green, rag-top Viper with chrome wheels...I wouldn't even come outside.
