Sure they used em to make a different car, but it surely can't be a sports car . . . just a 'hopped up pickup' with a massive amount of fabricated parts designed to make it sporty/fast/etc, just like that uber-modified Neon.
So if you turn a hammer into a wrench, it doesn't count, but that wrench you've been holding this whole time was cast from old, melted down hammers.  |
Wow you better be able to back up everything you're saying or lay off before the Viper guys start piping up. Perhaps I'll start a poll with your quote above as the inspiration. There are quite a few Viper owners here who would be more than glad to bring you up to speed.
Dakota suspension? Are you crazy? (*cough* leaf springs, on a Viper, those are some quality hallucinogens you're on, please get back to us when you're really "lucid")
Truck motor? Really? Did you come up with that all on your own?
Wow it has the same block, it *must* be the same motor
Wait isn't the Viper's V-10 an aluminum block? Isn't the truck's an iron block? Hrmmm. Did Lamborghini also rework the truck motor?
Never mind that the Viper was designed from the ground up to be a sportscar, and has been a very successful one at that. There is no econobox version of a Viper.
The Neon by contrast was designed from the ground up to be an econobox, any versions of it afterwards are merely MacGyvered up econoboxes
Apples to oranges really.
