Right now, I wouldn't want Chrysler. I ran the Daytona IMSA GTU program in the late 80's, had some help from Neil Hanneman (who went on to limited success in World Challenge) but all in all, a pita group to work with. Plus, I don't do well with unions 
However, aluminum block Viper motors in better handling, lighter Crossfire? Get rid of the lead-based Hemi, bring on the Challenger with a real motor and a 1000# weight-loss program, get rid of the tall-box hatches (Caliber, etc
) and build a real replacement for the Neon, something cool, light, and with 4 seats... I could do it

2. Move the labor to Kazakhstan (China is getting too expensive).
The reliability won't change, but the COGS will be lower!!!
