Actually, take a look at the numbers. At the top of their game, about 2000 Vipers sold. Last year, around 682 or so and almost half the year beyond.
$140 million for a brand that sells about 700 cars a year does not
offer great ROI. The hardest part about selling a Viper for $75,000 is
that the Z06 is fantastic and much cheaper.
Bloomberg has a great article on the topic, too:

All:
I read that article...the say that demand is not an issue.....they are still
building them.....lets face it if Chrysler was not owned by a venture
capital firm/s I doubt they would sell it.
