This car does much better at going and looking fast, and Accavitti correctly notes that "race-inspired characteristics are evident throughout the cockpit, which features a performance-oriented, highly functional instrument panel with center-mounted tachometer and 330 km/h speedometer."
New options for 2006 on both the Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe and Dodge Viper SRT10 Convertible include two new styles of no-charge forged wheels -- an "H-pattern" wheel and a five-spoke wheel, available SIRIUS Satellite Radio and dual exterior stripes, with silver stripes on red and black cars and black stripes on yellow cars. Additional colour and stripe combinations will be introduced throughout the model year, says Accavitti.
The first 200 of the all-new 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupes sold in Canada and the United States will be offered with a First Edition package that includes a Viper Blue exterior (the only coupes available in blue) accented with dual Stone White stripes, the five-spoke forged wheels, a car cover with dual stripes, seats and floor mats with contrasting blue stitching and embroidery, a parking-brake handle, shift knob and steering wheel all highlighted with contrasting blue stitching and blue leather, and a serialized dash plaque.
An aluminum-block 8.3-litre V-10 powers the Viper SRT10 Coupe, generating 500 hp and 525 lb-ft of torque, 90 percent of which is available in the 1,500- to 5,600-rpm range. All of this goes to the Dodge Viper's rear wheels through a heavy-duty six-speed manual transmission.
Stopping power comes from 14-inch brake rotors gripped by Brembo 44/40 dual opposing piston calipers in the front and Brembo 42/38 dual opposing calipers in the rear.
Accavitti says Dodge Viper SRT10 performance is further defined by a race-bred aluminum, four-wheel independent suspension featuring lightweight, high-performance aluminum control arms and knuckles, damped by lightweight coil-over shock absorbers.
Dodge Viper SRT10 rides on forged aluminum, polished 18-in. x 10-in. front and 19-in. x 13-in. rear wheels, wrapped in Michelin zero-pressure run-flat tires.
