    Not all cars should be scrapped

    1992 pre-production, V-10 Viper, with VIN #4. Presumably it can hit about 600 mph.



    Chrysler wants the car sent to a crusher.

    Probably doesn't have a cat, but I suppose it "could" be scrapped anyway.

    That doesn't make any sense, surely Chrysler has a museum or collectors room.

    Edit: that's what I get I read the article after I posted, it still doesn't make any sense but they have their reasons.

    Dodge Vipers to be destroyed - chicagotribune.com

    Millions loss due to auto situation is small to a large company.
    I feel it because Dodge Chrysler is now owned by Fiat .
    Dodge Chrysler is not an American company there is no American pride of past autos by Dodge Chrysler
    I think they would rather just snuff out the truth of one of the first production American cars to kick butt on Ferrari
    The corvette at the time was a power house , But the viper was a very forward auto for the price . It also had looks to die for.

    It is some thing to ponder See all us Americans just go our way day in and day out . One day years from now America will look the same but maybe owned by many foreign companies . They will po po our past with no concern.
    Clearly all the donated vipers they have could be sold in excess of any insurance burden from the 2 bad apples.

    Shame on you Fiat your true colors have finally shown to us Americans


    If you look up recalls on autos you will see there are many auto recalls , Personal Injury and Wrongful Death ,
    it's kept hush hush
    doors fall off seat belts snap . car company's deal with it.

    The Viper , this is a personal vendetta

    They are all being crushed by a few dumb people.These where pre built cars that didnt have emission and didnt pass safety stuff.
    But a few guys somehow drove a couple of them and wrecked it and since it was a pre-built car chrysler was getting sued by a few different people so they decided to crush them all which i cant blame them.

    Oh I'd "Destroy it" alright It would make it's way onto a trailer in the middle of the night and end up in a shipping container headed overseas for 7 figures.. I'm sure I could find a car close to size and body style, take it to the yard.. mangle it and send them a picture as proof the Viper was destroyed!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    I believe Fiat owns Ferrari Regardless Id like to them crush the first Fiat's in production . I remember them suckers

    The owner of Fiat did save Dodge Chrysler and gave them the perfect launch pad for there cars in USA
