There's a 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 coupe in GT6 now, yes, but it's not the same exact car as this one. The 2006 Viper SRT-10 is the 3rd generation of the Viper while this one is the 4th. Although, the looks of the car haven't changed much other than it got a new hood and some more colors & different stripes. A lot on the inside of the car has changed and I'll just put this quote from wikipedia here since it explains what changes were made:
In 2008, with the introduction of the 510 cu in (8.4 L) V10, the Viper produced 600 bhp (450 kW) at 6000 rpm and 560 lb·ft (760 N·m) at 5100 rpm, and also received better flowing heads with larger valves, Mechadyne cam-in-cam variable valve timing on the exhaust cam lobes, and dual electronic throttle bodies.[10][11] The rev limit could be increased by 300 rpm due to the improved valve-train stability from both the new camshaft profiles and valve-springs. The engine was developed with some external assistance from McLaren Automotive andRicardo Consulting Engineers. Electronic engine control is developed by Continental AG; the controller can monitor the crankshaft and cylinder position up to six times during each firing and has 10 times more processing power than the previous unit.

Changes outside of the engine were less extreme. The Tremec T56 transmission was replaced with a new Tremec TR6060 with triple first-gear synchronizers and doubles for higher gears. The Dana M44-4 rear axle from the 2003–2006 model now has a GKN ViscoLok speed-sensing limited-slip differential that greatly helps the tires in getting grip under acceleration. Another performance upgrade was the removal of run-flat tires; the new Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires increased grip and driver feedback and, along with revised suspension (springs, anti-roll bars, and shock valving), made the Viper more neutral in cornering.

The modifications made to the 2008 model year car were enough for Chrysler to make it distinct from the first SRT-10, and the 2008 model became known as Gen IV,[citation needed]just in time for release with Chevrolet's 638 hp (476 kW) Corvette ZR1. Another notable change is the reworking of the exhaust system; previous third-generation Vipers had their exhaust crossover under the seats which resulted in a large amount of heat going into the cockpit, which was done initially to help improve the car's exhaust note, since the first 2 generations of Viper, which had no crossover, were criticized for their lackluster exhaust notes. The 2008 Viper exhaust utilized a new exhaust system with no crossover, reducing the heat that enters the cockpit.

It has the same basic performance figures as the SRT-10 ACR, but without the Aero parts. I tried replicating it in GT6 by removing the wing off of the ACR and changing the suspension, but it's still not the same and I can't put GTS styled stripes on an ACR nor get rid of the aero parts on the front of it. So, until PD learns to improve their customization, I want to suggest this. Also, Mclaren helped improve the engine over the previous Viper SRT10 coupe, that makes it a bit more awesome.
