Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe
Power-hungry car enthusiasts might also be interested
in the new Viper SRT-10 Coupe from Dodge. Viper fans have only had a convertible
model to play with since the last GTS was built in 2002, and there has been a
call from the Viper faithful for a hardtop model ever since. "Demand for a Dodge
Viper Coupe started the day we introduced the Dodge Viper SRT10 Convertible for
2003," said Dan Knott, Director of the SRT program. "The all-new 2006 Dodge
Viper SRT10 Coupe is a natural evolution of the heritage of the Dodge Viper, and
gives enthusiasts exactly what they’re looking for in the ultimate American
sports car." Expectations were high for the new car, especially since the last
introduction of a coupe brought a host of improvements including a revised
suspension and increased horsepower. While neither of those improvements came
with the Coupe, the car does benefit from improved rigidity and aerodynamics.
The half-hearted update is going to generate quite a few complaints: not enough
horsepower, too much weight, or not aggressive enough, but the real test will
come when the new Viper faces off with Corvette's new Z06.by Drew Phillips
