Viper is dead and should remain so. Viper is an icon and can’t be watered down; no V10, no manual, no RWD and it’s not a Viper.

To resurrect it in any other form factor is blasphemous and wrong.

The only way Dodge, considering its current situation and corporate financial restraints could bring back the Viper is if Dodge got access to using a Maserati platform. If that foundation could be delivered in “ knock down kit” form then Dodge could build its own styled body panels, engine and interior. Starting from scratch would be too costly, perhaps for over a decade.
Do I want a next generation Viper, heck yes. Do I think that without some help from Maserati they can do it in a few years, very doubtful.

As much as i would like to see a new Viper from Dodge i dont think now or anytime soon it could happen, and besides having such a halo car is to help sell lesser cars in the brand, it won’t help move any Hornets off the lots.

I would of liked a Hellcat Viper with a 8 speed auto, sound better and be a lot faster than the old V10.

People could always get a kit car like the many Cobras out there and make your own if you want bear bones performance, or just buy a used one. A new one won’t make them any money at this point in time if starting from scratch
