    Guy down the street from me in Houston was in tall cotton in 2005. Built a McMansion, and bought a Viper. He used to laugh at me trying to keep up with him in my hot rod R32 on the straights. Then we would talk again in the tight stuff. Long story short, he hit a bad patch. House recently was sold at auction. Repossessed by the bank. Last I saw, he was still driving the Viper.

    Good call, I say.

    So is the Voodoo Edition for Zombie Dale Earnhardt Sr.?

    Any American car that is black with silver and red trim is by default an Intimidator Edition.

    @that ain't the way to have fun, son: I have a theory that an engine needs an even number of cylinders per bank to really sound good. The sound of a V-twin, I-3, I-5, V-6, F-6, or V-10 will never sound as good as an I-4, I-6, V-8, or V-12.

    I hope ChrIAT has another halomobile waiting in the wings. There's going to be a whole lot of slack to pick up.

    The Viper has certainly pulled its weight. Just think what it's done for Dodge and Chrysler, given the exceedingly small design and development budget, and investment over its life - and compare that to what Mercedes has poured into the SLR. Chrysler's ROI has to be 10x-100x better.

    @that ain't the way to have fun, son: Maybe chop and channel it a little to slot it in under the 300 - which seems to be doing remarkably well. Their midsize line seems to have developed some major suck. I think that was Daimler's parting gift, or something.

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: the Viper was all wrong. It was cool for a couple years. It's been reliably one of the worst supercars. It's not a technology showcase. It didn't share a platform with a cheaper muscle car. It was basically the American TVR, and the only reason their brand was included in videogames. That's hardly enough. The 300 makes more sense as a halo car. The ram SRT-10 makes more sense. A decent muscle car would make more sense.

    If the Viper is going out, it may as well go out like a special edition Mustang.

    @pauljones: I don't think you can compare the two. The Viper is such a special piece of machinery that it can basically do whatever the hell it wants. Once it's gone we'll quickly forget the year Fysled sold its only hot daughter to keep its legs from being broken.

    I watched a beautiful older model Viper tear up an SCCA Autocross track this weekend. It showed sexy and powerful amongst a group of more power hungry Euro and Rice tuners. It was not the fastest thing through the torturous twisties that Autocross relies on, that was relegated to abnormally aspirated AWD's and BMW's. It was however, the best looking, best sounding stock monster there. The Viper made the sheer 'get to the gate' brake, punch, brake, punch look incredible, even when it overpowered itself and spun into the grass.

    Every test/review of the viper cite the crudeness as a negative. I guarantee they will also miss it when its gone. It wont be long before they start writing about the lack of a "pure" machine again. Computer aides are nice (especially on a daily driver) and they can make any driver feel talented, but they also steal much of the soul from a car.

    You are viper. You will be missed.

    They are really neat cars, for sure. I live in small town and have only seen one in person. I was sitting at a stop light, on cell phone (shame on me), when a Viper drove down the highway. I started yelling in my phone....."A Viper, A Viper". My girlfriend I was talking to freaked out. (My girlfriends don't understand my love of cars anyway).

    And so it goes . . . the most wildly ridiculous and over the top supercar ever built rides into the sunset. Leaving in its' wake a 7:22 lap of the Nurburgring (I like the Nurburgring decal on the lower right of the decklid) and pounding hearts everywhere. While not the most comfortable or easiest to drive, it was the most rewarding. A car that, when you got it just right, let you know with resounding speed and unrivaled ability.

    Farewell, king snake, farewell.
