About 3 years ago there was a car on the cover of Road and Track
that looked enough like a Viper that not knowing it wasn't one you would
swear that it was. The article said the projected cost was $14,000 and
would be on the market in two years. Guess who made it...Hyundai. I don't
know what ever happened to the car. It wasn't suppose to be a concept car
but I guess they never produced it. Too bad. What world needs is a
"cheap"convertable sports car. There is no reason that I can see a
"cheap"car wouldn't sell. If Detroit would take a chance they might be
surprised. How much would it taky sell a Neon for $10,500 what would i
put it on a small chasis?
