for its 30th anni

was the late 80s/early 90s the last golden age of sports cars? the final Enzo-era Ferrari, the NSX, the Miata and the Viper were all fresh designs at the time

That concept pic is :sweetjesus:

Viper is one of those cars that always hold a special place in my heart.

An old neighbor I had when I was doing undergrad in Vic had one and once he was kind enough to let me take it out for a spin.

It was rough as hell and the epitome of a PURE muscle car; raw, mad and unforgiven.

They should go back to that route and make a hybrid electrical that focuses on one thing and one thing ONLY: straight line acceleration/quarter miles.

straight line acceleration/quarter miles.

absolutely not! they have other cars like hellcat demons to do straight line shit. the old viper ACR was one of the greatest track cars of all time. why would you throw that away

Randy Pobst ran the Viper ACR with the Extreme Aero pack around Laguna Seca and set a record lap time of 1:28.65, beating the previous record—set by a Porsche 918―by 1.24 seconds

Didn't they cancel the viper because of bad sales? Why are they trying build it again?

i feel like dodge needs to focus on making cars people want to buy instead of shitty darts/journeys/200s/durangos. at least in the 80s they were making money off k cars and mini vans they could afford a halo car

halo products are typically loss leaders
they probably wanna challenge the mid-engine C8

Can you really call a mid-engined corvette a corvette?

^there's been mid engine corvette concepts almost as long as there's been corvettes. It's almost a shame to have not made a mid engine corvette after 60 years or talking about it
