Dodge dominates in every category.

Dodge engineers stuffing the Viper’s 8.3-liter, OHV, aluminum V-10 under the Ram’s hood required numerous detail changes, including a revised intake system, oil pan, mounts, and cooling revisions. The only transmission offered is the same Tremec T56 six-speed manual used in the Viper.

In the cockpit, you’ll find comfortable black leather buckets with “SRT-10” logos stitched across the backrests. The seat cushions and a deeply padded center-console lid are flat enough to accommodate a third, belted passenger. Behind the wheel is a full display of large and easy-to-read, silver-faced gauges including a 160-mph speedo and a 7000-rpm tach along with a pillar mounted oil pressure gauge.

The SRT-10 spent some time in the company’s wind tunnel and learned a few lessons from Dodge’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck program, too. Up front, a deep front splitter reduces lift. Out back, a rear wing reduces drag and adds up to 165 pounds of downforce at track speeds. When you need the bed, you can easily remove the wing and stow it on top of the bedrails. Colors only came in black, red, or silver.

This car has a clean bill of health that includes a fresh service and full detail.
