Product Overview
Dodge Viper Mk3 SRT-10 (chassis code ZB I) is a high-performance convertible sports car in production from 2002 to 2007. It was powered by an enlarged Viper V10 engine that displaced 8.3 liters paired to a 6-speed Tremec manual transmission.
Compared to the first two iterations of the Viper, the SRT-10 is a full convertible rather than a targa top. Like the coupe, the Mk3 Viper has a larger, more powerful engine. Unfortunately, with the loss of targa styling, the new Viper also has a much tuned-down design. Whereas the originals were more retro than modern, the new Viper became more generic, even though it is still a handsome car.
With a 19.4L/100km (12.1mpg) fuel "dis-economy", owners have to be prepared to pay for their "smiles-per-mile".
