Default PT's Place in the Universe

I was reading an article today on the SRT-10 and the Viper R when the question of relative importance struck me. I wonder what the expectation of PVO for the PT owners. Possibly just a bunch of cranky geriatrics that won't spend that much in their area anyway. There are plenty of twenty-year-old stock clerks at the corner grocery store that squirrel away pennies to buy Stage I and beyond upgrade parts for their SRT-4 to make the planners feel like this project is a success. Plenty of nieve owners of new automobiles that trust Chrysler like a parent to save them in the face of written legal statements to the contrary. "More testosterone than common sense" is a phrase that comes to mind.
I also work with one of the "big" companies, and know that the way to climb the ladder is to develop a successful "project". A lot of these projects are pushed and resisted internally for reasons that have nothing to do with the success of the company, or providing a better product/service.
We may never be privelaged to know what is really going on. Anyone that doesn't realise that the PVO reps that periodically come on this site are hobbled in what and how they communicate must be fantasizing. Since I have invested in this PT-GT project I am biased to its success, but know full well that DC could pull the plug on the PT (or Chrysler) at any time.

Just my thoughts.
