SRT10 COUPE NEW FOR 2006
The awesome Viper convertible is joined by a coupe sister vehicle for 2006, initially only in blue with twin white stripes. Either way, the Viper remains a truly hard-core driving machine. There are no cupholders, no cruise or traction control. If too much of the 8.3-litre V10's 500 horsepower is deployed at the wrong time, it can turn round and bite you. The only form of electronic nannying is ABS -- and that's a good thing. Yet for all its towering performance (0-100 km/h in about 4 seconds), the Viper is surprisingly docile to drive gently. The clutch engages smoothly, the shifter shifts easily, and the steering is about as good as it gets.
Overwhelming ability, yet quite easy to drive
