We know cars here. But, we can’t imagine why a company would order the destruction of one of their most powerful cars, the SRT Viper (formerly known as the Dodge Viper). Thankfully, the Chrysler Group in charge released a statement as to why they would do such a thing. Check it out after the jump.
Chrysler released this statement:
Approximately 10 years ago, Chrysler Group donated a number of Dodge Viper vehicles to various trade schools for educational purposes. As part of the donation process, it is standard procedure — and stipulated in our agreements — that whenever vehicles are donated to institutions for education purposes that they are to be destroyed when they are no longer needed for their intended educational purposes.
They further added [that]:
Chrysler Group fully understands and appreciates the historical significance of the Viper and is very active in preserving many of its legendary models and designs for historic purposes. However, none of these vehicles fit into this category.
