The 2006
model year marked the return of the Viper coupe. Since the introduction of the
third generation Viper in 2002, consumers had to settle for only the roadster
version, the demand for a coupe became obvious and Chrysler responded. Sporting
many of the styling cues that made the previous GTS model so popular, the SRT/10 Viper became an instant success.
The Viper SRT/10 shown here is a 2006 model, as
if the unique Viper shape weren’t enough to turn heads, the Venom Red paint and
polished wheels ensures people take notice. The fully functional louvers seen
on the hood, famous “double-bump” roof first seen on the original GTS, back
were the side exit exhaust, but also adding a small level of civility to the
car were the now standard features such as an Alpine audio system, air
conditioning and ABS brakes. Showing only 6,327 original miles (10,182 km) the
8.3L 505 hp V10 and 6 speed transmission still work as new, and it is remains a
clean example of the famous marque… Great bang for the buck for the performance
enthusiast looking to also grab some attention.
