Replying to: woodstock3 (Jan 17, 2005 5:24 pm) The Firepower is little more than a reworked Viper. Not all that impressive and for my money I'll take the Viper.
#23 of 36 Viper??? Are you OK? by chris65amg Apr 19, 2005 (1:12 pm)
""The Firepower is little more than a reworked Viper. Not all that impressive and for my money I'll take the Viper""   Er, no. The Firepower uses the 6.1L Hemi V-8 that makes 425 horsepower, the Dodge uses an 8L V-10 that makes 500 hp. I believe that the Firepower is also supposed to be more of a Corvette killer than a Viper-esque car. As a matter of fact, I would buy it, because the Corvette has pretty much no competition in its segment. (Big engined American sports car over 40k). I think that the Firepower is a little more polished than the Viper, just like Chrysler is (at least in my experience) a little more polished than Dodge.   But I'd love a Viper, too! Unfortunately, I don't have 80 grand on me at the moment... Replies to this message: dialm4speed (Apr 19, 2005 9:47 pm)

Replying to: chris65amg (Apr 19, 2005 1:12 pm) You might want to read up on that Firepower. The suspensions been "softened up" translation too MUSHIE to be useful. The body is NOT all that good looking, long a$$ nose and a stubby rear end.... YUCK! How could you want a V-8 over a V-10? Also, it'll be a drop in the bucket less than a Viper. Why bother when I can get a Vette for less.
#25 of 36 Drop in a bucket, eh? by chris65amg Apr 20, 2005 (10:34 am)
It would be 40-50k (hmm Corvette pricing?) , as opposed to the Viper's 80k price tag. Actually, the Viper has a very hard suspension, so it wouldn't kill the car. I like the body in profile, and styling is very subjective.
#26 of 36 The Firepower needs to be built by xkss Apr 24, 2005 (11:51 pm)
It would spread the costs of the Viper.   It seems like it has the stuff to be a great GT car.   I would rather have a 2006 Corvette Z06 instead, though.
#27 of 36 Corvette vs. Firepower by chris65amg Apr 25, 2005 (12:53 pm)
The way I see these cars and how they compete are like this   Chrysler Firepower and Chevy Corvette Dodge Viper and Chevy Corvette Z06.   It would be only too logical for Chrysler to have this car start at about 45k (or lower, but that's wishful thinking) to compete with the Corvette. I would also be expecting a new or redesigned Viper pretty soon....   I would rather have a Firepower than a Corvette. And I want a Z06 and a Viper As a matter of fact, I'll take all four.

check here   gorgeous Chrysler concept
#29 of 36 !!! by chris65amg Jun 26, 2005 (6:28 pm)
I wouldn't be surprised if Chrysler put this into production. Aren't they planning to scooch upmarket anyway? If they do, I'm first in line!

Nice article in R&T this month on the car. Good pics too.   I think I could muster the necessary lust for such as this. Yes indeed.
