and no one said the challenger v10 would be massed produced. it will be a limited car and high priced most likely. and btw challenger sales are not poor. they sell just about what they produce per year which is 30000 which is 70000 less than the camaro and the mustang build. this car has always been limited and that is the reason why the srt8 is so pricey. it has always been a low volume car in chryslers line.

2012 Viper is a lot of speculation at this point. With Chrysler's uncertain future it may not be worth doing. They sold far less than 1000 Vipers in 2009 and much less than that in 2010.
It does not make financial sense to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to develop, test and produce 30,000 low/mid priced cars per year. They are losing money hand over fist on the Challenger with no change in sight.
