Yes, we want one of these little 480-horsepower, sub-2,000-pound beasties. Don't you? ________________________________ See more videos on our YouTube...

If you've driven the new SRT Viper, you probably want to own it--well, you do if you're the same kind of crazy we are. But apparently those of us who want it aren't buying it, as Chrysler has cut production by one-third due to slow sales and the impending fall and winter months.
