Last I heard, that project was cancelled. Chrysler is focusing on products that people will buy. They are not gambling with limited production, high priced niche cars right now. They already have the viper which is not selling too well right now. Also, there is the looming federal mandate that all cars must meet a 35 mpg minimum by 2012. If that is passed, it will most likely kill cars like the Vette, Challenger, Camaro, etc. It's the death of the muscle car all over again until technology once again catches up. I HIGHLY doubt Chrysler will produce another high priced, gas guzzling sports coupe when they can barely sell Sebrings and mini vans.
