Chrysler may be running around like a chicken without a head, but the craziest bird in the roost, the Dodge Viper, is out dancing in the fields. Even while companies worldwide prepare to ransack Chrysler, the Viper sales are unflinchingly continuing. Although Chrysler sales are reportedly down an amazing 32%, Dodge continues to produce and sell Vipers at a rate of 100 units per month. Not just that, but the Viper ACR – that $105k track-prepped super-snake – is all but completely sold out… not so much in spite of the poor economy, but because of it. Chrysler reports that with stock portfolios rapidly losing their value and dollar values plummeting, investors are seeing the Viper ACR as a good investment opportunity due to its potential discontinuation and therefore retaining a high resale value – all with smile inducing dividends, too.

Bob Nardelli, Chrysler’s Chairman and CEO, stated recently that the company has “been approached by third parties who are interested in exploring future possibilities for Viper.” Apparently, instead of just axing the Viper from Dodge’s lineup, Chrysler is “exploring strategic options” for the Viper brand name. (read: they’re trying to figure out how much money they can get for it.) It’s still unclear what any potential buyer would get, as back in February the company has halted Viper development.

A guy named Ed, who happens to work for Edmunds Inside Line (no relation we’re sure) just got back from driving the amazing 2008 Dodge Viper ACR from L.A. out to the Bonneville Salt Flats for some fun. There, Ed discovered that driving really fast in a straight line is harder than it looks, at least in a twitchy track tuned supercar driven on the salt. Read the rest of this entry »

Imagine working all your life to buy a limited edition 2008 Dodge Viper. To finally get enough money to go to the dealership and start the paperwork. And while you start signing your life away, the dealer’s porter and salesman generously go out and get the car’s tank filled up on gas.
As you’re about complete and pulling out the checkbook, you hear a noise. A horrible, loud, nightmarish noise – A noise that could only be caused by a Viper sinking its 600HP fangs into 4 cars.
Well, this happened to a would-be Dodge Viper Coupe owner in So Cal last week. On the way back from the gas station the porter and salesman got 1/8 mile away from the dealership and lost control, crashing into 4 parked cars, totalling the Viper.
Witnesses said there were loud engines noises, kind of like the engine was pegged full throttle, and when they turned around, they saw the Viper crash into four parked cars.
The driver (the porter) said his foot slipped off the clutch and he lost control. But by the pictures, its pretty clear that he was going well over 50 mph down was looks like a small 35mph street.
Not to speculate, but it looks like he wanted to see what the car could do, and with a hard shift into second, the snake got a little tail happy. Well enough explaining, on to the pics. Head on Over to SRTForums for the full story.
