Sorry for the confusion.
The Viper is essentially a super-car. Just as the Nissan has both its GTR and 370z.
GM also had financial hardships during their process of the XLR.
And Saturn marques along with Pontiac was already a dying part of GMs division.
I beg to differ, the Viper is a mid priced sports car ala Corvette. Their numbers approach those of the true super cars but they accomplish that with cubic horsepower. Technologically they are far behind, ie, carbon fiber tubs, advanced aero technology, dual clutch automatics that shift in miliseconds and exclusivity. Given the choice between a Viper and LaFerrari, which would you choose? Do you see a Buick sports car, the healthiest of GMs brands? Where is Fords' sports car? I am afraid they will become the province of the affluent with the little guys looking for used sports cars that we can modify, hey, that's the Crossfire!
