at the dealer meeting last week dodge announced to the dealers that they would be building a baby viper in the $20,000's, they also said that it was going to be rear wheel drive. our dealer that was down there told my dad about it, a little 2 seat mini viper, think i could dig on that.

That will be so cool. I wonder if it will have the venom name?? Wouldnt that be cool.
Cant wait to see it. And see what engine it will have. Maybe the HEMI? Christian ------------------ 68 'Cuda 383 Formula S recreation Working on adding EFI 69 'Cuda Race Parts Car 76 Duster 273 recent transplant 95 Neon 2.0 SOHC best of 16.96 84 Dodge Ram D50 transplanting 360 |

It wouldn't hurt my feelings if it was the Copperhead. I liked that show car very well, and Mopar has been needing a roadster anyway. A Neon roadster to compete with the Mazda Miata wouldn't hurt my feelings either, and I bet it would flat whip up on that Miata as well.

yeah i sorta agree the prowler is a cool looking car but sport car it is not, the car looks cool but thats about it. it doesn't handle all that well, it rides like crap and they aren't very fast either from what people that own them have told me, its still cool as all hell, but i would rather own a copper head with a v8, i think it might be the copper head but they didn't give any more details, he was hoping to get some pics, he promised he would get my dad a copy if he did. but imagine how many of them that they could sell. i think allot of ricers would be converted to the old dinosaur v8's that they poke fun at.

What are you talking about randy??the prowler holds high .8-low.9 gs in the corners..its one of the best handling cars out there. And a v-8 desnt make a sport car. I think the Miata and the Z-3s are six bangers

<dd>Well, the Venom isn't exactly "Baby-Viper" sized. <dd>I saw it in person at Road America a few weeks ago (do not ask me why they're touring with it). My bud took pics, but I have yet to get a copy of them; when I do, I'll post them. <dd>The car is *huge* -- we're talking Intrepid-sized. It has 19" rims up front, 20" rims in the rear, which is why it looks like the size of an Avenger or F-body in the pics. Very heartbreaking, I wonder if it was developed on LH-platform... <dd>- novicius - |

That's the one. I wish I remembered what drivetrain it has. If they had made those I would have picked one up for sure.

<dd>V6 of unknown displacement, 5-speed stick, rwd. I don't know if they ever released any power figures for it, but I assume that the concept at least moves under it's own power...

i don't think it is the venom, i would lean more towards the cooper head, but i was thinking about this the other day, the new viper is coming out, maybe this mini viper they were talking about is the existing viper with a v8? i dunno like i said its going to be interesting to see, but i don't think its the venom because the key word would be 2 seater.

Thinking about the Charger R/T concept car got me thinking about the Venom, so I sought it out. Then I decided to do a search and voila! I'm bringing this back from the dead.

What would Cedric guys know that no one else knows, shit a month ago I went there and asked if they knew anything on the srt10 and they all looked at me like What are you talking about
So I told them that I would get one before they would and left. |

The Copperhead is currently at the Dayton (Ohio) Auto Show in case anyone wants to see it live.
It does look like a baby Viper. |
