Default Dodge Concept car from the Gran Turismo games

I could have sworn I saw one the other day. I saw it from the back (the view I know best from GT) and it looked just like it. Was I mistaken?

That was my favorite car in Gran Turismo, and if they're available and legal for road use in the states, I'm going on a lotto binge.

I probably just mistook something else for it, though I can't think of any other cars that look anything like that.

Nah, not the Razor. This was a 2 seat roadster that weighed less than 2000 lbs and had a 500+ hp NA V6 that redlines at like 8500 rpm. Very low to the ground, with a very long hood, and short rear decklid, with squashed traingular taillights. Not the prettiest thing, but man, did it drive great.

Nope, that's not it either. This car was smallish -- very flat, front engine, rear drive, and like I said, under 2000lbs. I found a link: http://www.autoworld.com/news/Dodge/NewConceptCar.htm

I heard about it in the 90's that dodge had a concept car that was supposed to be a baby viper, but it's been too long for me to recall anything else about that car

Yeah, it's the same body, but the copperhead was 220 hp, and 2850 lbs? Weak. I searched around under the name "copperhead" and it's not even close to the specs of the Gran Turismo ones.

Did any of these make it to the streets then? Couldn't find anything about that.

AFAIK, the copperhead was never produced. and I don't know where the GT is getting that insane amount of power from
