Consequently, they gave the suppliers an expected volume of 30-50k, not 80-100k, and they didn't add another shift at the plant to produce the cars, and so on. Looks like they did pretty well in their estimate for their product, as did GM. But if they made a car with more mass appeal, it would sell better. They didn't, and it doesn't.

they didnt because they were smart and marketed it as a collectors /limited car. hence why people paid 40k for the challenger srt8 when the camaro has the same power for 10 k less.also when was the last time the challenger or charger (real one 2 door) were a part of dodge. yea in the 70s. you cant expect the challenger to have the following of the camaro or mustang which has been a staple of the 90s and even longer. And i agree with your point, they werent fortunate enough to have a 30k viper during the 90s....sorry.:(
