Dodge Viper, now owned by Fiat (but not for long)

The super Viper now move to be in the hands of Fiat , after it was made with 20% of Chrysler . The super of Dodge , which marked a milestone when it went on sale in 1991 , did not get a buyer throughout these months. But now in the hands of Fiat , the model can continue to be sold, or simply the Italian leads to bankruptcy ( Ferrari and Maserati in the middle) . It is a mystery.
The only offer that had the model was part of Devon Motor Works , but what they offered was not what Chrysler asking.
Although the Viper has a very different Ferrari and Maserati , it is a threat to these firms, since the maximum speed, engine speed, torque and many other things are very similar (or identical) to that of Italian firms. It is understandable that a Ferrari does not like to take this model to the group, but if it continues along a Fiat , which can eventually be integrated with a range of lower price or simply disappear.
It would be a pity that this fascinating sport ceases to exist, because even if you do not have history Corvette and Mustang the Viper is the recent history of the last super Americans where the achievement is seeing the same Chrysler (in the 90s), as an innovative firm with a great future in the competition.
I agree that to kill this icon in the automotive industry. If Fiat does commit a serious error.
I hope that during these months, the Viper find an owner for them, because in the new Fiat-Chrysler does not take place.
