I'm a die hard chevy fan which of course means i love the Vette but it truly will be sad to see this amazing car go. This means Chevy will be the only one left with a true supercar.

Such a great car going out to seed. It's really a loss to American Super Cars. I wouldn't be surprised if even 'Vette and 'Stang fans are sad to see it go. But maybe we'll get lucky and once/if Fiat gets Chrysler back on its feet and profitable again, the Viper will be resurrected. There will always be a market for it, no matter how small.

I agree. The Viper is really a truly great American car. It is still setting records around the world with an old truck engine and crude ammenities. It will be missed.

It's a shame, really. The Viper was one of those cars that could still hang w/ the newer, more advanced supercars, without changing very much throughout it's life cycle.
It's too bad Chrysler couldn't work out a deal to sell the brand.
