I don't think they will take any offense... Most SRT-4s own GTs...
Just casue it's changing platforms, doesn't mean it won't still be called the Viper...

Just like the Corvette, the ZC platform, could mean just what is says, a new platform. It might still be called the Viper, it might still be the 8.3L...
One thing, I don't understand the Firepower being a Chrysler. Dodge is the performance branch of the Chrysler Group...

As far as the long lasting sports car, how many times has the Vette gone through redesign in it's lifetime? I'm by no means a Chevy historian but without even looking it up I can think of five. Let's see 5 into 50 is 10. That would mean technically speaking that Chevy has killed the Vette 5 times as each new iteration would be considered a different vehicle (every TEN years, avg.) with a Corvette badge on it.

I was just pointing out that I predicted the possibility of the Firepower because of the Viper being out of the lineup for 2007. This thread brings more truth to the prediction in the original thread.

Once upon a time the Corvette was a very expensive car and wasnt a super mass produced vehicle....it still had more made in a year then the Viper, but it used to not be a common vehicle. The fact of the matter is....the Corvette is what DCX wishes the Firepower could be....a long lasting sportscar.....
And for the record.....DCX has a history of killing every good car they have....after about 12 years....

I won't be able to afford the Firepower but I hope it blows the Vette in the weeds once and for all without any doubt. I'm really sick of the biased SOB's that pick the Viper apart in all the comparisons. The Viper is what it is and isn't meant to coddle some pu$$ies a$$ so he doesn't get a back ache! It's a performance vehicle-DUH!

I wish people would stop saying DCX or DaimlerChrysler... It's Daimler now, there is no Chrysler...

And no matter what, GM has made it obvious that the Corvette will continue to SUCK forever. They struggel and try year after year, as the VIper just sits and no one does anything to it. The Viper just out does it in almost every class. The only reason its faster is because of its 3.5 Gear Ratio.
It will never be near a Viper.
