I just talked to someone at Chrysler (that used to work closely with SRT) and they said don’t be surprised if there is a replacement. They talked about how the Viper never had an identity, it needed to be more expensive and a supercar or cheaper to directly compete with the Vette. Thats about as much as I am going to say. ---

I never understood the hate people have for the viper. Although the drivers tend to be dicks. I agree with Joe about the competition it provided. Maybe there next sports car will be hemi inspired instead of a v-10. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-viper-is-dead/43126.md?page=2)
