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.
