Return of the viper

[BeeKool]

2021, why the wait ?
(AllPar saw 2022-2023)
why not bring it back now ?
{along with the Dakota SLT in 4x4 & a Hemi}

And a four cylinder Cummins diesel option

The Corvette would be the target competition, no doubt - and they have some serious catching up to do if that's the case.
I hate to admit it, but Chevy has developed that car to impressive world-car levels.

Agreed.

A Vette is not my cup of tea, but this one's a heck of a car.....

My source told me this:
smaller, lightweight, improved suspension, V8, 900 HP, and the intent to spank everyone at the track.

550 hp? Is that from 5 years ago?

The return of the vr1000 joke pissed a bunch of folks off

My wife's 2006 VRSC-SE and my VRSC-F are as close as you can get, and we LOVE them!
“The V-Rod is the first member of a new family of Harley-Davidson motorcycles,” said Vice President of Engineering, Earl Werner. “This all-American custom was inspired by Harley-Davidson’s drag racing heritage and the VR 1000 Superbike race engine. It’s really a stunning styling and engineering accomplishment.”

I had a vrscdx, i loved the motor but the chassis was to low and wide and that resricted me from from being able to use it like i wanted, so I ended up trading it for a xr1200x

What a complete Assh@le Sergio is.

New @Dodge Viper? Marchionne: "That's a great question. ... It's not in the plan, if that's what you're asking." Didn't make money, and wouldn't work with a "cute" Euro-style engine.

Don't forget the dildo shifter

I have to disagree with you moparedtn. The interior is all plastic and very cheaply made. Sure, it is powerful., but for the price I would expect higher quality.

Styling is result of committee. Millennial. Computer generated collage of other designs. More like a collision. Bring back clay.

Sergio Marchionne doesn't give a **** but Aston Martin does....

"People are still looking for emotion in their motion and that’s where the luxury manufacturers sit, and where Aston Martin is flourishing," Palmer said.

Have to agree with them. I'm still surprised GMC is still around considering everything is a rebadged Chevy.

 

[BeeKool]

Good point.
Back in the day GMC was around so that non Chevy GM dealerships could sell trucks. Now any GM dealership sells every GM make so it's pretty much a moot poi t.
