you say they sold 2679 corvettes in a given month or year but dont state how many were made. dodge sold 38 vipers.. and your point is? how many did they make? you cant go per month basis, per year is what matters because most vehicles made on x month arnt sold that month.

i would love to see you go into business thinking only sales numbers are important and never take a look at how much of your product is sold vs what you are producing. The epic execution of your business would come in short order with that infantile and ignorant mentality.

you can call the viper a piece of shit all you want but its still the only american car in the top 10 fastest nurburgring lap times. viper is 6th and vette is 12th.


and I would love to see you go up to any automaker and tell them what you said earlier

Actually sales do matter because unless a company decides to only make a set number (Dodge doesn't with the viper) sales determines production.

exactly, sales drive production, but if you base things entirely off sales and dont care about your profit margin then you are fucked; as in, you care about selling 1 million cars, but dont take into consideration that you have 1.5 million produced and have to eat that half a million you didnt sell.... i mean, the corvette didnt even make a profit for chevy till like the 4-5th year of its production.

its accounts for 30% of military disability. rest is comprised of knee injury, back injury, and hearing loss.
i know you like thinking about putting things in butt holes but keep that to yourself. i have nothing again people like you and your sexual preference as long as you keep it to yourself.

Well yeah but Dodge probably wants to move a lot more. It's better to scale down production then to have product sitting thay you need to sell for $20,000 under MSRP but the lesser of two problems is still a problem.

Dodge is largely at fault for poor Viper sales. They're American sports cars so they're not technically competing with European ones but you are competing with cars like the Vette and offerings from the Asian makers. But the Viper is terribly marketed. For the most part they're not in your average Chrysler/Dodge showroom, while a Corvette is. I don't want to buy a car I have to order to see. Chrysler Fiat also doesn't push their dealers to move many Vipers either, while GM does with the Vette. If Chrysler dealers were told they must sell X number of Vipers every year sales would be much higher. Market the Viper like the Vette is and you'll see numbers climb.
