"The legendary Viper is basically a street-legal race car, with nearly no amenities or creature comforts to speak of, but all the speed one could ever imagine. On the world's most demanding test track -- the Nürburgring, a 12.9-mile circuit in the mountains outside Nürburg, Germany -- the lap record is held by a 2009 Viper ACR, which bests even cars that cost five times as much."
this was an excerpt from this report on 6 car lines that are looking at getting axed (most of them I can't wait to see gone) The link is below

It's sad to me that the Viper might be going, I don't want it to be gone, there are few cars as beautiful as it. Of course, when it comes to the Hummer H3 (Humvv wanna-b), the Saturn Sky (dirt-cheap roadster from a dirt-cheap company) and most strongly the PT Cruiser (wanna be SUV mixed with a dodge neon engine, dodge stratus frame, old-school {Al Capone era} gangster style body and the kind of engine-power that is only attainable by burning stolen methane gas from mice). It'll be sad to see the Viper go, if/when it goes.

I too love the physique of a Viper. Sadly, even if you're driving one you STILL can't go any faster than the car in front of you, it STILL smashes up as bad as any other car and the speeding ticket STILL costs more than I want to burn up and throw away.
