I heard Dodge is either going to shank or sell off the Viper Lineup as well in 2011...Don't know if its a fact, but I've read and heard about it recently...

Glad the American Car Companies are killing off their useless go-karts.

In Feb last year it was announced that the next gen viper were no longer in dodge's plans. So 2011 will be the last run if no one buys it.

Bush's final approval rating was 22%. That's roughly 1 out of 5 people. What I want to know is, where are these people? They must never fess up in public, because I haven't heard anyone say they approve of bush in probably 3 years.

LOL! They're never going to come out from under their rock. Don't worry. Bush supporters DO exist, but they have scattered (like the Nazi's did) so they're not caught, tried, and executed! (LOL)

I hate this car, but I really don't understand why they are killing it. 51K units a year is still really good these days, and the tooling etc should all be paid for.

Again, it's like, a 9 year old design now. How long did they expect to live off that? I know I said it before, but damn, maybe try an update before killing it. Not like they got much to lose at this point.

Exactly, I know a lot of car companies would be thrilled to sell 50K units of a new model!

That said, 50+ year old Avon sales women and hairdressers must be very upset.

WTF? its the same motor as the srt4......wich has wicked overboost at low rpm.... full boost at 3k


drop a 3076 gt like i did supporting mods poof 450rwhp....its the damn automatics that can't handle the power.... and its heavy...

i find you comment insulting....you have no clue how many TT 350 Z's i dispatched. With my stock block untouched besides cams 3076GT turboed "skittle"....There beat you to it. The Z (350)appeared to have trouble holding together at anything around 500 crank. while the Srt4 was bulletproof at that crank level.....but reaching its upper limits.

I have one in my garage.. the stock turbo.... you forget it was 2003 when this turbo was introduced mine is a 04 turbo with 500miles on it...

The Srt4 was kicking the tuner worlds butt Japanese style.

fastest (new ,stock)car in the world under 25k circa 2004.

Wait till those tuners get ahold of the 2.0turbo genesis...@23k....your gonna see..what these guys have been waiting on...a rwd with a that particular 2.0 isn't it called the world motor....same one used in the evo...
they are waiting anxiously on it.... trust me. I'm invested in a 4 banger tuner shop....hey kids pay big money to go fast.


Genesis light and rwd.and turbo..... i feel sorry for the unsuspecting 370Z thinking its only a 2.0 turbo....lol

the GT PT was just getting interesting. Sad to see it go. it would have made for a nice sleeper.
