Vehicle Description
Summing up a sports car lifestyle, this 2006 Dodge Viper SRT/10
custom convertible might be toward the top of the list. Chrysler's
Street and Racing Technology Group (SRT) gave the Halo Car Viper a
complete redesign for the third generation. This
ultra-high-performance Viper SRT/10 was heavily restyled with
sharp, angled bodywork that combined voluptuous front and rear
fenders covering enormous factory alloy wheels, 18-inch in the
front and 19-inch in the rear, with top-of-the-line Michelin Pilot
Sport Cup 2 performance radial tires. A deeply scalloped fender air
extractor, wraparound taillights and rear spoiler add to the
dramatic look of the much-improved vehicle. The improved V10 engine
was enlarged to 8.3-liter 505ci engine and pumps out 500hp. A
strengthened TREMEC T56 6-speed manual transmission handles the 525
ft/lbs of torque. The chassis was much improved over the previous
Viper, featuring improved rigidity and an 80-pound weight
reduction. SRT finally relented and added 4-wheel, anti-lock disc
brakes and a Viscous limited-slip differential. These performance
improvements allow the driver to fully explore the performance
envelope of this ultra-high-performance machine all the way to its
top speed of over 190 mph. Changes that make the Viper more user
friendly include an easy to unlatch and stow canvas top with a
heated glass rear window, power windows and effective cold air
conditioning eliminate the flimsy original-generation erector-set
top and side curtains. Power adjustable control pedals, mirrors,
key fob with remote keyless entry, red stop/start button, leather
and suede Sport bucket seats with lumbar support, and front
fog/driving lights make this third-generation SRT/10 "Halo Car"
faster, more comfortable and easier to live with. The original
owner of this 2006 Viper wanted a unique, stand-alone vehicle and
began with professionally applied, high-dollar, complete custom
White Pearl paint, and then powder-coated the factory alloy wheels
in contrasting semi-gloss black. Finally, an equally impressive,
and expensive, Alpine sound system was added, complete with color
backup camera for easier maneuvering. Bigger amps and subwoofer,
along with a huge speaker in the passenger footwell, rattle the
windows, even at high speed. Fortunately, this speaker can be
easily removed for a passenger. The remote key fob and key are
attached to a Viper keychain; an original dealership sales brochure
and Viper books and manuals are also included. This 2006 Viper
comes with a clean CARFAX; the original MSRP was $83,145. **TITLE
