One COOL piece of American kick european butt car. It will most likely be picked up by roush or saleen. The Challenger will be the new halo car.

Looks like Mustang, Challenger & Corvette will be the only American sports cars left since Pontiac and now Viper is now dead. I wonder, who will be the next American sports car to fall?

I thought that it had already been planned to sell off the Viper "brand". So not being in the new company is just more support that this will happen.
