Yeah, I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you. 
The Viper started out as a roadster, I can't imagine it going away.

Think that is just another rumor, as the folks I talked to were mentioning whether the vert and the Coupe should be a 50/50 split in the future?

What if they design the top to look like the coupe, but still have a removable section. IF they design it right, it will save weight, and save a lot of development costs. No folding toupee please.
I heard that DC is going to make the Viper a HYBRID on 08!!!
better get your V-10 now while it is avalable!!
Come on dude....

I was talking to a "reliable source" who is directly involved with the Viper design and he said convertibles will be discontinued as well as the 2 door bodystyle. All 08'-newer Vipers will be 4 doors! I also heard this mentioned on CNN last night

Eh Chad?? The four [doors] I recall are the passenger, driver, trunk, and hood. Anymore than that is just flat wrong...OK maybe the vert door.

I was j/k. We'll all be dead and gone before its a 4 door Viper! Seeing a 4 door Viper may actually send us to an early grave

If that were true the value of the verts would go through the roof. IMO
When driving the SRT/10, if you ever should came across a factory built car that performs better than this Viper, you can bet your life it won't a convertible.

I would not be surprised to see only a limited amount of Convertables produced early on in the production run.
The current demand is higher for Coupes, and there are come existing inventories of Convertables to be worked through. After they get caught up on the Coupes, then they will feed in more Verts.
When the demand is satisfied for these, maybe some Firepowers! might fill up the assembly line, and then expect the release of a ACR with significant enhancements in handling, power and price.
Then we start all over with rumors of the Gen IV in about 2010. Dry sump, Traction control, Dual Clutches, carbon fiber, alloy chassis, and more cup holders.
I believe the future of our Viper is bright.

I just read where Washington want to make traction control manditory on all vehicles by 2012.

I would still like to see the sports bar return to the SRT-10, either permanently or as a model option along with the full convertable.

Wouldn't that be a great rumor to float if you happened to have a large inventory of convertibles that weren't moving. I certainly hope they keep building both.

With cars like the Z06 and Ford GT hardtop only, it's always been an advantage that the Viper has been available in ******* form continuously since day one. Many of us want the open-air experience in a high performance car, and the Viper fits that bill perfectly.

You can get a GT converted to a ******* car, but it would cost you quite a bit.
