SRT-10 differences by year

[blacksnake8]

I am looking for a listing of build differences by year from 2003-present. Where might this be posted?
thanks

All I know about is that I think the 03 didnt have carpet in the trunk and 04 after do.

 

[SylvanSRT]

all '03 cars have grey brake calipers other wise changes are mostly color combination and different wheels Mamba and Copperhead edtions had minor interior changes(colored stitched seat trim, badges(number plaque), wheels, mostly trim differences). also knock sensor added in '05(i think) to engine.

for the most part the '03-'06 cars are all the same(with coupe added in '06)

all same hp, same brakes, same interior, same body, ect.......

I don't believe the 03 had black trim around the exhaust openings like the later year
models.

 

[SylvanSRT]

'03 has black trim in that area

No matter what year, red is always faster

03 no cpt in the truck/ Black brake calipers and no convertible boot. Other than that no difference.

Here are some differences :

03 and 04 came with factory 7/70 powertrain warranty
04's possible cam bolt torque problem is built prior to 01/31/04
04's had a different oil pressure and temp gauge
05's had a different factory head unit
05's and up have a slightly diff. valve cover. vent tubes at the front
04's and up came with trunk mat
03's and 04's factory oil fill is 10w-30 while 05's and up 0w-40
no special editions made in 03
2003 have different connecting rod then 04's. they are forged in the 03's and PM in 04. Crank balance is also different
05's have different PCM
crank trigger location moved from the flywheel in 03/04 to side of block in 95.
05's up changed the damper bolt to 3/4" vs the smaller 13mm in 03's and up.
Main bearings changed in 05 to 180 degree mains from 120 in order to address oil starvation issues at rods. this is the reason for the lower oil pressure at idle for the 05 cars
04's up have red calipers
timing cover changed in 05 to incorporate a wire holder for the cam sensor. old covers used a bolt on clip.

Hope this helps. I printed this off from some other post and have had it ever since. Thanks to the writer for some great information.

Great Job!!!

My 2003 did not come with a tonneau cover, floor mats, or a trunk carpet set all of which the dealer threw in at no charge.
