The SRT Viper Is A Terrible Sales Flop That Chrysler Has Had To Axe

I do not especially care for the looks of this Viper, but you

Still love the Viper as a whole. Their issue is and always will be the Corvette. For the same or less money you get a faster car that handles better.
And while they are getting more HP out of that engine than ever before... OHV... Really? Even the other American companies moved past that... Make it a DOHC 8.4L, put a nice tune on it, and helllloooooooooo 750HP.

Also, previously dealers maybe received one Viper a year, if they were a top seller... I haven't seen any Dodge dealer carry one yet... While every Chevy dealer has at least 1 ZR1 in the showroom, same with Nissan, every dealer has at least 1 GTR sitting in their floor

Intake/headers/tune will get you pretty close to that at the crank on the old ones. They also really wake up with shorter gearing in the rear. And boost makes them insane.

Not that high, but high.
Also imagine if stupid Dodge did that BEFORE selling the car, it would be another game.

Also, I drove a... 2007-8 Viper in Detroit. It was stupid. Literally stupid. Besides Bose, that car is áss in seat, engine on wheels.
My "uncle" (dad's cousin) took it on the freeway at 140+ top down, cops gave a nice wave as we passed

You lucky. Nissan dealers need to be certified by Nissan to sell/maintain GTRs. I have only 2-3 out of 7-8 dealers here carry GTRs.
