Chrysler won't build Firepower I hope this article is wrong... The Firepower is an amazing car... Anyone know if left lane is legit? http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/12/19/chrysler-wont-build-firepower/ Chrysler will not build a production version of its 2005 Firepower concept, despite a positive reaction from enthusiasts. "We're not doing Firepower," Trevor Creed, senior vice president-design, told Ward's Auto. "We just couldn't find a viable way to do it." One obstacle to the production was the fact that the Firepower was not designed to be built on an existing architecture, but instead was made from the ground up. Many fans had hoped the Firepower would become a less expensive counterpart to the Dodge Viper. In August, the U.K.'s Car Magazine claimed the Firepower was near approval. In May, the Canadian Auto Press reported the Firepower Concept was among Chrysler's top considerations. Ward's also asked Chrysler CEO Tom LaSorda if the automaker had decided on production of the Chrysler Imperial Concept. In November, product development chief Frank Klegon said a decision would come by the end of the year. LaSorda says the company won't make that deadline, but he made it clear production was still a serious consideration. "I like it," he said. |

Too bad as it was a great looking car. It certainly would have put Chrysler out in front style-wise! However if it was not going to be built on the Viper platform, Chrysler probably did the prudent thing given the US automakers' current financial situation. I would have probably bought one of these over the Challenger... |

On the VCA website several posts are worried about the future of the Viper... Most believed the Fire Power was to be built along side the Viper, that was why CAAP was shut down to re tool.... |
