Dodge Viper is Dead
Viper is armed…I mean, Dead. Today marked the end of Dodge Viper’s 18-year production run. This past July 1st, 2010, Viper Club Members from around the world came together at the DODGE assembly line on Conner Avenue to witness and pay homage to Viper – as the final banshee rolled off their assembly line.
Dodge’s final Viper to be produced was a one of a kind gold\orange stripes edition, with special Last Production Viper designations and a distinctive interior as well.
Viper’s production began in 1992, and quickly spawned a huge cult following along with its own NBC TV show, also called Viper. The original Dodge Viper “Roadster” contained a 400 horsepower powerplant. Current (and final) Vipers range in the 600-plus horsepower ACR engines.
We don’t know if Dodge will ever produce some kind of Viper replacement or futuristic sportscar anytime soon. For now, we look back fondly on our fallen Viper brethren, and look hopeful at tomorrow that a new generation will grow to appreciate that big grill front and and 600 American horsepower.
