THE BELLY OF THE BEAST.
How to produce 600 astonishing horsepower? SRT® engineers rose to the challenge with
improvements to virtually every part of the powertrain, which remains the heart and soul
of Viper SRT10. They started by boring the aluminum V10 by 1 millimeter, raising overall displacement
from 8.3 to 8.4 liters. They raised the compression ratio from 9.2:1 to 10.2:1, and maximum engine speed
from 6,000 rpm to 6,250 rpm. They created new cylinder heads with larger valves and added CamInCam® designed
Variable Valve Timing (VVT) to the exhaust side, marking the first use of VVT in a high-performance cam-in-block engine.
In short, the SRT engineers left no stone unturned and created a new engine and new transmission and driveline components for
bigger displacement, more efficient breathing, and higher engine speed. Bottom line: zero to 60 in less than four seconds; 0-100-0 in BRAKES
Brembo® Performance brakes with
just over 12 breathtaking seconds. 44/40 dual opposing piston calipers
in the front, 42/38 dual opposing
piston calipers in the rear. Fourteen-
inch rotors for both help you brake
from 60 mph to a complete stop in
less than 100 feet.
