It did not sell. The body was beautiful, but the power they had in it was crap.Too much money for not enough.

they also were uni-body frames so they weren't really safe. yeah the looked awesome but they should have put a hemi in it!

Too expensive and under powered (V6) and the Plymouth Division is no longer. All looks, no practicality. A folded road map is about all that would fit in the trunk. Don't know about the safety issue as virtually all cars today are uni-body construction. Trucks have frames. Guess there could be some safety issues with the open wheel concept.

Only had the V6 but they did offer supercharger kits aftermarket that made a huge difference. Bring it back with a small update to the front end and tails and drop in a SRT8 motor from the Jeep or 300, now you got a car!

looked nice but I sure didn't fit. Had the mixed pleasure/horror of driving one a few years ago. With the roof on I couldn't see past the hood. Plus you sit so close to the driver's door, its easy to rap a knuckle on the door while turning.not a car I'd enjoy owning.

They were made from 1997-2002...Throw some NOS on one if you feel it lacked power. They were more cruisers IMO but I have seen some that really got up and went! It was not killed because it was unsafe or anything like that but it was a niche vehicle and considered low volume. Made from 97 to 02, is a decent run I suppose when you think about it!Enough sales to make it that long and most went to collectors I am sure. He is a supercharged one, 330 RWHP.
