" I&amp;#039;m in Phoenix this week to try out\u00A0the new Dodge/SRT\u00A0Bondurant racing school. In other words, I&amp;#039;m in Phoenix this week to drive a bunch of Hellcats and Vipers\u00A0 flat-out\u00A0around a closed course\u00A0(terrible, I know). That&amp;#039;s really all I can say at the moment, but I&amp;#039;ll have more on the school and experience soon. In the meantime, I&amp;#039;ve a juicy tidbit to offer you\u00A0fine folks.\u00A0 Talking to a member of the Viper team last night, I jokingly asked if FCA\u00A0had changed\u00A0its mind and whether the car\u00A0was to live\u00A0on. Apparently a lot of Viper owners have been asking this question\u00A0too. The\u00A0answer is still no. However, when I asked if we might see one more variant, that didn&amp;#039;t get a direct answer at all. In fact, what it got was a hesitation, a look around the room, and this vague statement: &amp;quot;Well, we do still\u00A0have the 2017 model year.&amp;quot;\u00A0 Oh,\u00A0you don&amp;#039;t say? While we know the Viper production is supposed to cease sometime in 2017, \u00A0Dodge\u00A0hasn&amp;#039;t said much\u00A0about\u00A0what could happen during 2016 for the 2017 model year.\u00A0After all, 2015 gave us the winged God that is the\u00A0Viper ACR, and apparently the company can&amp;#039;t hand build them fast enough. There&amp;#039;s currently\u00A0a\u00A0backlog of orders.\u00A0 So what could this new Viper\u00A0be? Well, if Dodge\u00A0were to make a final edition of the Viper, it could be even more powerful or performance-oriented than\u00A0the\u00A0ACR, but,\u00A0more\u00A0likely,\u00A0it will be one or more\u00A0special editions of the ACR. That&amp;#039;s how Dodge said goodbye to the Viper in 2010, and it would be surprising if the\u00A0company\u00A0just let this generation\u00A0quietly ride off\u00A0into the sunset during 2016. That&amp;#039;s not\u00A0how a car\u00A0like the Viper deserves to go out.\u00A0 "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
