'''''Provided by Viper Club of America'''''<br>
When the third-generation Dodge Viper made its debut in 2003, it did so in the form of a convertible. For 2006, the<br> 
Dodge Viper SRT10 debuts in an all-new Coupe form - to the acclaim of "Viper Nation," the community of die-hard Viper <br>
owners throughout the world.  "Demand for a Dodge Viper Coupe started the day we introduced the Dodge Viper SRT10 Convertible <br>
for 2003," said Dan Knott, Director, Street and Racing Technology (SRT), Chrysler Group. "The all-new 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 <br>
Coupe is a natural evolution of the heritage of the Dodge Viper, and gives enthusiasts exactly what they're looking for in the <br>
ultimate American sports car.<br>
<br>
"Dodge Viper SRT10 customers want to go beyond the level of the regular enthusiast, to the level of outrageous performance," said Knott.<br>
"Our all-new 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe gives our customers that performance in a stunning new package."  Dodge Viper SRT10 is about <br>
uncompromising performance and stunning looks. With an 8.3-litre 500-horsepower V-10 engine contributing to blistering acceleration <br>
(0-96 kilometres per hour (0-60 mph) in less than 4 seconds, 0-160-0 km/h (0-100-0 mph) in the low 12-second range), and a bold appearance <br>
marked by Dodge's signature crosshair grille design, deep-cut side scallops, swept-back fenders and lowered hood lines, the Dodge Viper SRT10 <br>
Convertible had no equal. Until now.  2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe Exterior The exterior design of the all-new 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe, <br>
with its "double-bubble" roof and dramatic, unique rear styling with wrap-around taillamps reminiscent of the Viper GTS Coupe, is what sets <br>
it apart from its Convertible sibling - and connects it to the Viper heritage.  "It was important for us to sustain the emotion in the design," <br>
said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President, Design, Chrysler Group. "We wanted the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe design to include a nod to the <br>
original Viper GTS Coupe, but in a contemporary way.<br>
<br>
"The Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe owner is often a racer, and the car has to scream that, even when it's idling at the stoplight," Creed added. <br>
"The bottom line is that the new Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe's design says a lot about its unique character, and the car's performance is the payoff."<br>
In many cases, a convertible is derived from a coupe. After the coupe's top is removed, structural reinforcements must be added to regain <br>
torsional stiffness lost with the deletion of the roof structure.  In the case of the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe, the starting point was <br>
the Dodge Viper SRT10 Convertible - which has a stout structure to begin with. With the addition of the roof structure, the Viper SRT10 Coupe <br>
becomes even more torsionally rigid than the Convertible.  From an aerodynamic standpoint, the all-new 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe is designed <br>
for increased downforce and high-speed stability, with a sloping roofline and decklid spoiler.
<br>
The only bodywork that the Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe shares with the Convertible is the front fascia and fenders, hood and doors. In addition <br>
to the new canopy and decklid, the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe has a special windshield surround, door side glass, rear fascia, quarter panels <br>
and taillights.  The decklid for the Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe was designed for customer convenience as well as structural integrity. The decklid <br>
opening is deeply integrated into the rear fascia, which offers a low lift-over height for stowing cargo. Gas struts hold the decklid in place <br>
when open; when closed, , the decklid is secured with a latch that meets federal safety regulations.<br>
<br>
The 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe design also took some of its cues from Dodge Viper's heritage. For example, the Center High-Mounted Stop Light <br>
(CHMSL) on the decklid, although all-new for 2006, looks similar to the "snake-head" design on the Viper GTS of 1996-2002.  The 2006 Dodge Viper <br>
SRT10 Coupe will be available initially in Viper Blue with twin Stone White racing stripes, harkening back to one of the most popular Vipers ever, <br>
the 1996 Dodge Viper GTS.<br>
<br>
2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe Interior,<br>
The form-follows-function strategy continues inside the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe.  "For helmet clearance, <br>
we brought back the 'double-bubble' roofline from the original Dodge Viper GTS," said Creed. "In fact, we began the process by utilizing a mannequin <br>
with a helmet to determine the height and shape of the roof."  Another functional interior feature for the many owners who will take their 2006 Dodge <br> 
Viper SRT10 Coupe racing is the roof and headliner structure that offers room to accommodate a safety cage, while maintaining as much headroom as possible.<br>
Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe-unique interior pieces also include various weatherstrip pieces, headliner, carpet and trim panels.  A result of the 2006 <br>
Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe's configuration is more usable trunk space - 0.11 m(3) (4 cubic feet) more than the Viper SRT10 Convertible, for a total of <br>
0.18 m(3) (6.25 cubic feet).<br>
<br>
The 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe also features a unique two-tone interior colour scheme.  2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe Powertrain The magic numbers for <br>
the Dodge Viper SRT10 are 500/500/500 - representing 500 horsepower, 525 pound-feet of torque and 8.3 litres (505 cubic inches) of displacement.  An <br>
aluminum-block 8.3-litre (505 cu. in.) V-10 engine powers the 2006 Viper SRT10 Coupe, generating 500 horsepower (372 kW) and 525 lb.-ft. (712 N-m) of <br>
torque. Ninety percent of the torque is available to the driver across a wide band - the 1,500-5,600 rpm range.  Transferring the Dodge Viper SRT10's <br>
power to the rear wheels is a heavy-duty six-speed manual transmission.<br>
<br>  
2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe Braking<br>
Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe braking power is defined by Brembo 44/40 dual opposing piston calipers in the front and Brembo 42/38 dual opposing calipers <br>
in the rear, gripping four 355 mm (14-inch) rotors. An anti-lock braking system (ABS) prevents lockup during hard braking.  This system results in a <br>
world-class braking performance of 60-0 mph in less than 30.5 metres (100 feet), and completion of SRT's signature 0-160-km/h (0-100-0 mph) test in <br>
the low 12-second range.<br>
<br>
2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe Ride and Handling<br>
Handling and ride characteristics for the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe is derived from a race-bred, four-wheel independent suspension featuring lightweight, <br>
high-performance aluminum control arms and knuckles, damped by lightweight coil-over shock absorbers. Power is delivered to the pavement via a Dana 44-4 <br>
Hydra-Lok speed-sensing limited-slip differential.  The 2006 Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe rides on unique forged aluminum wheels - 18" x 10" front and 19" x 13" <br>
in the rear. Each is clad with a Michelin zero pressure run-flat tire, and each tire includes a low-pressure sensor in the valve stem.<br>
<br>
The Dodge Viper SRT10 is hand-built at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit.<br>
