SRT and Mopar Showcase Viper Possibilities at NAIAS
Tuesday January 9, 12:01 am ET
Custom Viper displays tweaks from Mopar Performance Parts – and 675 horsepower!
Farmington Hills, Mich., January 9 /EXCLUSIVE from viperclub.org/ -- Much speculation has been made since the first details were released on the 2008 Dodge Viper scheduled to appear this week at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Of course today is the day you were supposed to be reading about it, however some magazine editions hit the newsstands – and websites – a little earlier. Viper buyers, already giddy over the addition of a whopping 90 horsepower (yes, 600 total ponies under that revised hood) still had one nagging worry in the back of their minds: What about this long-rumored “Blue Devil” from the “other” American super car camp?
They needn’t have worried. In a surprise addition to this weeks show, DaimlerChrysler’s Mopar and SRT (Street & Racing Technology) Division have added a third Viper in concept form, joining the Venom Red SRT10 Roadster and Viper Red SRT10 Coupe with white racing stripes. Reminiscent of the SRT10 Carbon shown at SEMA in 2003, this latest Coupe variation showcases the many possibilities of this potent platform.
“We at SRT, along with our counterparts at Mopar Performance, wanted to build something for NAIAS that would show what can be done with the new '08 Viper,” said Steve Sharples, Viper Brand Manager at SRT. “This includes many of the new Mopar Performance parts which will be available for the car when it starts shipping to showrooms later this year.”
The Mopar Performance Parts featured are:
- Tubular Exhaust Header Package
- High-flowing, Cat-Back Exhaust System
- Low-restriction, functional Cold Air Intake System
- Fully adjustable Coilover Suspension Kit
- "Sidewinder" Lightweight Wheels (with anodized finish)
And don’t forget the “Racing” in SRT, as they added these race-inspired parts as well:
- Titanium Valves and Connecting Rods
- Cast Litex Pistons and Lightened Crankshaft
- High Flow Intake Manifold with Polished Upper
- Carbon Fiber Coil Covers and Crinkle Black Valve Covers
- Adapted Dodge Viper Competition Coupe Rear Wing and Front Splitter
- Michelin Racing Slicks, 18" in front and 19" in back
- 6 point racing restraints
- Viper "Driver's Stripe" paint scheme
The results? Well besides one of the most stunning Vipers ever to greet the public, it also satisfies the Viper faithful. With a few Mopar Performance parts and some additional internal engine tweaks the car makes an incredible 675 horsepower, with the torque climbing even more – from the impressive stock 2008 number of 560 ft lbs to a mind-boggling 650 ft lbs. You would be hard-pressed to find another exotic from any continent making those kind of numbers.
Will these modifications ever make it to a production car? SRT will not comment on future product. But if what is shown here can be done by visiting your local Mopar parts counter, we already like what we see. Blue Devil shmevil!

I guess this would mean the CC's in the FIA GT3 championship will be changed into SRT's
And.... Dodge can make it to Le Mans again with this Viper!

So if this concept car is supposed to be reminiscent of the Carbon Concept, how do these two compare to the McLaren Diamondback car?

"IN CONCEPT FORM" as the article states rarely comes to fruition. I doubt it will happen and dont get caught up in the rumor mill.

I Cant believe by happen stance I came upon this one. That was funny that Zen, the biggest *** MOE I know would be calling anyone else Gah.
Ron (Zen Garbage) has seen me with a couple of attractive ladies, YET, all I ever see HIM with is his "body shop boys" whats up with that?
Any of you other folks hoping I was "confused" or coming out of the closet, sorry, but Zen is certainly available. And his new longer, scraggly homo hair should make him easily discernable from his "business partner."
Jon
PS. Ron washes cars on the side, along with a few other unmentionable items.
