2006 Dodge Viper: Endangering the Competition
Entering the automobile world in 1992, the Dodge Viper has had
undergone many changes as well as many obstacles. This year,
2006, the Dodge Viper is already on its third generation of
vehicles. This time around, the vehicle is introduced as an
all-new coupe.
Dan Knott, the director of Street and Racing Technology (SRT)
for the Chrysler Group states, "Demand for a Dodge Viper Coupe
started the day we introduced the Dodge Viper SRT10 Convertible
for 2003. The all-new 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 coupe is a natural
evolution of the heritage of the Dodge Viper, and gives
enthusiasts exactly that they're looking for in the ultimate
American sports car." He also adds, "Dodge Viper SRT10 customers
want to go beyond the level of the regular enthusiast, to the
level of outrageous performance. Our all-new 2006 Dodge Viper
SRT10 coupe gives our customers that performance in a stunning
new package."
The most obvious change for this new vehicle is that it now
holds the aerodynamic "double bubble" roof. This roof holds a
unique shape that provides a smooth airflow over the vehicle as
well as assists in accommodating a large amount of space inside.
Other new things for this new 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe
include the door glass, the rear quarter panels, the integrated
rear spoiler, and the wraparound tail lights. It is very much
similar to the original Dodge Viper GTS coupe's look but this
new one owns up to a more contemporary flair. Also added in are
a set of unique alloy wheels which measures 18 inches for the
front end and some 19 inches on the back.
The 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 coupe holds an 8.3 liter all-aluminum
motor that works with ten cylinders. This engine has the power
to produce some 500 horsepower and around 525 pound feet of
torque. To help it all up is a six speed manual transmission.
Backing up Knott's statement regarding this new vehicle, Trevor
Creed, Chrysler Group's senior vice president for design
exclaims, "It was important for us to sustain the emotion in the
design. We wanted the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 coupe design to
include a nod to the original Viper GTS coupe, but in a
contemporary way. The Dodge Viper SRT10 coupe owner is often a
racer, and the car has to scream that, even when it's idling at
the stoplight. The bottom line is that the new Dodge Viper SRT10
coupe's design says a lot about its unique character, and the
car's performance is the payoff."
