The viper was all engine and least amount of car build to Chryslers budget. And it wasn’t really that bad reliability vise as it uses a big lowstrung pushrod engine, a manual transmission and no electronics to speak of. And yes it uses a lot of fuel, just like any other 400hp engine of that time. The only thing they share is the bad build quality, but for different reasons, Chrysler being broke while railing coke of a hookers ass and windows because of enshittification. Newer vipers er largely the same but with marginally better safety.
