Along with the richer appointments, Dodge has reduced exterior noise by adding various weatherstrip pieces, a sound-deadening headliner, carpet and trim panels.
There's also plenty of room for occupants to move around, even with an integrated safety cage installed and while wearing helmets.
"For helmet clearance, we brought back the 'double-bubble' roofline from the original Dodge Viper GTS," said Creed. "In fact, we began the process by utilizing a mannequin with a helmet to determine the height and shape of the roof."
As practical as the extra passenger room, the liftback configuration adds 4 cubic feet of cargo space over the SRT10

The new SRT10 Coupe should be an overwhelming performer, worthy of the Viper name which has become legendary the world over.
"Dodge Viper SRT10 customers want to go beyond the level of the regular enthusiast, to the level of outrageous performance," stated Knott. "Our all-new 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe gives our customers that performance in a stunning new package."
The new coupe, made alongside the roadster at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit, will become available in Dodge dealerships in the fall of 2005.
