2005 Dodge Viper SRT10 Powertrain:

Race-Inspired Performance - Powered by an aluminum-block 8.3-liter (505 cu. in.) V-10 engine powers the 2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10, generating 500 horsepower and 525 lb.-ft. of torque—90 percent of the torque available in the 1,500-to-5,600 rpm range. And with all that power comes certification as a Low Emissions Vehicle (LEV). Transferring the Viper’s power to the rear wheels is a heavy-duty six-speed manual transmission.

Stopping power is another carefully developed part of the Viper SRT-10 equation, with 14-inch brake rotors gripped by Brembo 44/40 dual opposing piston calipers in the front and Brembo 42/38 dual opposing calipers in the rear. This system results in a world-class braking performance of 60 mph to zero in less than 100 feet.

Dodge Viper SRT-10 performance is further defined by a race-bred, four-wheel independent suspension featuring lightweight, 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 Hydra-Lok speed-sensing limited-slip differential.

Where the rubber meets the road, Viper SRT-10 rides on forged aluminum, polished 18" x 10" front and 19" x 13" rear wheels, clad in Michelin zero pressure run-flat tires. Each tire includes low-pressure sensors in the valve stems.

Altogether, the Viper SRT-10 is capable of amazing performance figures—estimated 0-60 mph time of less than four seconds, top speed of 190 mph, and completion of the signature SRT 0-100-0 mph test in less than 13 seconds.
