I agree with your 'insider'. Viper sales were very poor in 2010. Throwing the same engine into a 20-30K cheaper non sports car makes no sense. With the depression we're in very few can afford such a proposed car.
The American public, with their recent billion+ dollar bailout of Chrysler, should not be subsidizing 600 horsepower cars for a few hundred people to enjoy. Chrylser can't even show sustainability yet, much less an excess of money that would let them throw money away on V10 Challengers.
