Dodge Viper Competition Coupe – an Automotive Icon

Scrape the exterior of the 2003 Dodge Competition Coupe SRT-10 and you will discover tons of the similar vital ingredients that made the original an automotive icon. The front-mounted V10 engine lingers, but an innovative bored and stroked aluminum chunk bumps displacement from 488 to 505 cubic inches. Crest horse power climbs to 500 at 5, 600 rpm, while torque ends out at a nose- flattening 525 pound-feet at 4,200 rpm.

The earlier Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission is maintained in the latest model, but internal mechanisms have been restructured to deal with the 2003 model’s increased power. This drive train rests in an updated chassis that offers a 31% increase in torsion rigidity. The Viper’s four-wheel self-regulating suspension has also been modified to give the car superior predictability when driven at its limit.

Each car in common is always unique in its own way. Cars are always remodeled in order to adapt people’s way of living. It is created for a sole purpose though: a means for transportation.
