Dodge announced yesterday that they are hanging on to the Viper brand and will continue to build. I guess the Fiat money is going a long way. See the press announcement at Youtube.

Glad they didn't kill off the Viper brand or sell to someone who would ruin it.

I put my bid in for Viper but came up a few million short

Sweet!

Does that mean more episodes of "Viper" are in the works as well?

Actually, a good friend of mine in Bloomfield Hills, MI is Sr. V.P. for a tier-one supplier who was negotiating to buy Viper from Chrysler. They had the papers nearly signed and sealed, then Dodge decided to keep it.

B.T.W.: I thought Jason A would appreciate this shot taken last Saturday of three of my cars, one of which Jason A sold to me (The Green Porsche). This was at the Cleveland Cars and Coffee. We're trying to get interest in having sports and exotics show up every first and third Saturday.
