 Chrysler Firepower concept car
The automatic transmission and less-powerful-but-still-potent Hemi make the Firepower quite formidable yet easier to drive for those who are not professional racers, and also bring the price down considerably.
The lighter weight allows the Chrysler Firepower to come near Dodge Viper speeds - or at least to 2004 base-model automatic Corvette speeds (0-60 in 4.5 seconds, top speed 174 mph).
The short-long arm Viper suspension is used for the ultimate in traction, and we suspect that, barring any major retuning for comfort, the Firepower may actually out-corner the Viper itself, due to its lighter engine.

On the heels of yet another award for the Chrysler 300/300C,this time the North American Car of the Year, Chrysler trotted out a 'Vette eating concept dubbed the Firepower that perhaps looked much to close to reality from the perspective of General Motors.
Indeed, the Firepower is built to do both, with Chrysler's multi-displacement system, which uses only the cylinder power needed, and 20-inch wheel in back to go with 19-incewheels upfront, all on the Viper chassis.
Obviously, the Firepower is closer to production than most other concept vehicles at this stage.
