No More Viper After 2009?

[Doug Supercharged Vipers]

Friends,

At this point in time this is ONLY a rumor, suffice to say, I've been informed by a very reliable source(s) the Viper may very well halt production after 2009.

Also, rumor has it, our beloved Herb Helbig will be retiring effective this Thursday due to the fact that Corporate has seized funding the R&D department.

Please, if anybody can confirm or deny these allegations please let us know?

Sincerely,
Doug Levin

Saw this coming with the "new management". It is the end of an era.

There is a thread somewhere about Herb retiring but cannot comment on the demise of the Viper in 09 but it does appear the writing is on the wall.

Don't make me dig up my old posts, but I've been saying for months,

THEY'RE ALL FE's RIGHT NOW!!!

tottaly figured this would happen.

[DAMN YANKEE]

Yep, its over....

Now Dave...you'll have to beat this earlier post....

When once one said "It's a Dodge Viper I'll buy!"
A company strong was there to boldly reply
"We hear you and what's more, we want to deliver
a product so fast as to make you sit there and quiver!
Just the product you WANT and do so with great pride!"
Alas, right now that clarion call has subsided..
replaced in good measure where analyst have guided.
Now the refrain a street racer is more to likely to hear,
is apt to bring anguish rather than gear grinding cheer.
"I'm afriad what you want may not be what you deserve,
12mpg is a tough thing to sell to those investor's we serve!
Our thoughts are turning more to cars that make a new statement,
one that resounds with fuel consumption and waste abatement!
In fact the chances of us spending new money on another rocket?
Well, lets just say it just ain't on the docket......."

This thread...
I heard a rumor, said to be great,


Its coming.....NO DOUBT.

Trying to get your price up right....? We're all tired of the ebay $ posts right?

They all go up when production stops. $$$, that is.

[SSSSE YA]

It will be a bitter sweet day..

I saw this coming myself, but didn't want to believe it. When noobies made posts like this, I never got worried. When Doug Levin is the poster, it holds A LOT more weight

Merely quoted Doug's post from the Gen I/II section, think everybody needs to make some noise to the new owners of Dodge/Chrysler.

Yes, I hammered you for poetry.

I am drinking heavily. Are you?

Sad to hear that our era will soon be at an end. The only bright side is we will all be owning classics by the year 2025. They will be worth a lot, but if anyone is like me, you'd rather see a new generation every four to five years.

With Hillary in office we will also be required to take 6 pistons out....

Congrats. You can join all the others that have been saying the same thing since 1992.

It's like saying the Cubs are gonna win the World Series. Someday, you're gonna be right. Don't take credit for being a genius when it happens.

So..... If this were to be true and some sort of official word was announced (just day dreaming) Is there any particular Viper you would go buy now, knowing the era was over? Low mile GTS? ACR? 1992? GT2? 600hp beast? If 2009 were the end, which car would you want in your garage 10 years from now? Hmmmm....
