Hopefully they can make it much cheaper than the "original" (2005/2006) to compete with the Corvette. Now that aluminum and turbos are mainstream at Ford, seems they could share some costs to keep the MSRP down. They also have some good brakes, magnetic shocks and CRFP parts/procedures developed for the GT350 project. But who knows...

I agree. Make a car that many people can "afford" and you might actually make money.

I still can't understand what the hell Dodge is thinking with the Viper. Their sales a dismal (even with the price drop) compared to the Corvette. They couldn't afford to go to LeMans this year even though they were invited.
Why don't they just stick the 6.4L Hemi in it that makes 485hp already and drop the price a further $10-15K? They would sell a ton more cars and it would still have a HP advantage over the Stingray.
