The Viper era is over, 25 years of making a Dodge race car that set records and mopped up the competition has come to an end as cars 1/2 the price are nearly as capable

And the factory that built the Viper, in Detroit, was one of 2 car manufacturing plants inside city limits. Now that Connor Ave Assy has shut down, only one other factory remains in the former motor city. Well, one and a half.

The GM Buick/ Cadillac/ Chevrolet sedan plant straddles the line, so, that's half a plant in the city limits.

The FCA plant that makes Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Durangos on Connor is still running.

There was only one Viper plant non salaried employee that owned a Viper, that's how overpriced they were. MSRP varied from 52-140k.

Yeah, in 1992 the MSRP was 52k.
In '96 it was 66k.
In '01 it was 72k.
In '04 it was 81k
In '11 it was 90k

However, what a dealership would demand for a Viper was significantly higher. Sometimes because the manufacturer would require a dealership to buy a Viper to get a Hellcat, and the invoice on a 2015 Viper was 130k http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2015/02/dodge-is-getting-desperate-to-sell.html
