Chop the top of your new Dodge Viper for $35,000 Are you an aspiring New or Used Car Buyer looking for your dream car? Visit Cars4sa.co.za Filed under: Aftermarket, Convertible, Performance, Dodge, Specialty We have good news, and we have bad news. First, the good: Its now possible to get a brand-new Dodge Viper roadster, which is nice, considering were in the dead of summer and many of us like wind-in-the-hair motoring. Now, the bad: This is not a factory option from the automaker, instead coming courtesy of an aftermarket company called Prefix Performance, and that means its going to cost you some serious coin. Called Medusa, this drop-top Viper was created without the knowledge or consent of Dodge, but thats probably fine because Prefix works with the automaker already for the final preparation of the American supercar, including paint. According to the company, the current, fifth-gen Viper was built with a convertible version in mind, so no chassis strengthening is required. From the looks of the somewhat grainy photos available, the conversion appears of very high quality. Want one? Well, that means youre going to need to procure a Viper - Prefix has 10 units ready for transformation as it stands - and thats going to cost at the very least $102,485. Then, youll need to write a check for an additional $35,000 for Prefix to surgically remove the cars roof. Thing is, for that kind of cash, a prospective owner could buy, among other very nice options, a Viper hardtop and a loaded Miata, or a Corvette Stingray convertible and several pockets full of change. Or, perhaps a new Viper hardtop and a used, first-gen Viper convertible? If youre still interested (and we wouldnt blame you if you were, regardless of the value debate), wed suggest getting in touch with Prefix and getting yourself in line.
