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.

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.

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.

Corvette vs. Firepower by chris65amg

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.

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.

I love this car! I hate it's grille!
But, I wrote my Chrysler dealer a check ($500.00) to deposit if they make it. I would have the first one in Dallas.
He thinks they will. priced about $70-75,000.

I was hoping closer to about $60k. Oh well, that's why they have used cars. The only problem with me waiting until the prices come down is that a lot of cars that are very distinctly styled have super super good residual values. Most Prowlers out there are still about 35k.
 
The Firepower looks very promising, though. If I was DC though, I'd be worried that people who were tired of getting their butt banged by the suspension in the Viper would move a little downmarket to the Firepower. That's why I think that $60-65k is a good price.
