Most of you probably remember this, while Dodge was sadly slowing down Viper production to a sorrowful and screeching halt, a group of enthusiasts and two Dodge Viper dealers were raising money to beat the Nurburgring lap record for production cars.
Seeing that FCA was simply letting an American automotive icon to die without a struggle, a good bunch of Viper aficionados raised over $200,000 through GoFundMe contributions to make the dream of many happen.
