If you want a nice interior, and good performance (akin to the base Corvette) get an Audi R8. The Viper simply isn't the car for you. The Viper is for those who believe that everything which doesn't make the car go faster is wasteful. I've heard that the no cost hardcore package on the ACR, which deletes things like the radio and some sound deadening resulting in 40lbs less weight, has something like an 80% take rate. Viper customers aren't normal because the Viper isn't normal, and thats what makes it so awesom.
Besides, the point of having a nice interior is to make the car more livable, right? Nothing else about the Viper makes it very livable. From the excessive interior heat, to the side pipes that will burn your leg, the punishing suspension, and all its other problems. That stuff would have to get fixed as well, otherwise its like putting lipstick on a pig.

MSRP of a new viper coupe starts at 92k with destination. For some reason, the vert is cheaper. It's a car, not a go-kart. More comfortable seats, a dash made of higher grade plastic than a tonka toy and some a/c knobs that weren't taken out of the same parts bin as the first viper wouldn't make the car any slower. Last i checked, dodge needs to make some sales. Obviously, their attacking of a total niche market isn't working. Have you driven any of the new vipers? Like I said, suspension and drivetrain can only cost so much. The car just doesn't feel like anything near a 100k car. This is all just my opinion, but I'm sure many agree. That's probably why they're revising it. We're just arguing opinions, but IMO the viper needs some serious upgrades.
