| 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe | |
The Viper SRT-10 Coupe was
introduced at the 2005 Detroit Auto Show as a 2006 model. It shares many
of its body panels with the convertible, but takes its side and rear
styling from the Competition Coupe. The coupe looks much like the
previous Viper GTS and retains the "double-bubble" roof shape of the
original along with the original GTS's tail lights, as well as offering
the original GTS Blue with white stripes paint scheme on the initial run
of First Edition cars like the original Viper coupe. The engine is
SAE-certified to produce 510 bhp (380 kW) and 535 lb·ft (725 N·m).
Unlike the original coupe, the chassis was not modified. This makes the
coupe heavier than the convertible, and thus slightly slower to
accelerate. Handling and high-speed performance are improved by the
coupe's stiffer frame, reduced drag, and increased downforce. |
No 2007 model Vipers were produced; instead, Chrysler extended production of the 2006 model while preparing the updated 2008 model. When new these went for over $80,000. Right now a excellent used one will cost about $40,000. They have fully depreciated and I think this particular third generation model will start to see excellent appreciation over the next 5 years. |
