Dodge Viper SRT-10 [Premium] 2003

[JR98]

"The leader of the SRT series, boasting 500/500/500 performance."

In 2003 the Dodge Viper underwent a full model change, which included changing the name of the Viper RT/10 to the Viper SRT-10. With its long-nosed roadster exterior, it kept the same basic concept, but came equipped with, among other features, a foldable soft top designed to give it a more user friendly feeling than before.

In maintaining the same concept as the previous model, it uses the same mechanical components, including the layout of the engine, suspension system, and 6-speed manual transmission. Nonetheless, in the frame, suspension, and other sections, there are no parts that were taken from the older version.

The engine size was increased slightly from the former model, upgrading from a 8.0 to 8.3 V10. The maximum output increased from 444 HP to 493 HP and the maximum torque from 490lbs-ft to 500lbs-ft. Incidentally, these numbers are called "500/500/500" (Triple Five Hundred) performance. Dodge uses this as its catch phrase for its high-performance SRT series, including the Viper SRT-10 and Ram SRT-10.

Though the size and weight is not an unreasonable figure, but stop and consider that the Viper has the width of a four ton truck, and it puts the personality of the Viper more into perspective.
