2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Convertible 

Want an affordable way to get your hands on a top-notch super car which has serious collector pedigree and can handily smoke pretty much anything on the road?  Then step right up and consider this well cared for 2003  first year generation 3 edition Dodge Viper.  10 Cylinders power this year added 50hp mill, and a decrease in overall weight from the original version.  This car is definitely a neck snapper.  If you're looking for the best version of one of the best super cars ever built, this Viper is your ticket!

A paltry 2,651 actual original miles shows it's a toy which was used and enjoyed…sparingly, then put away until the next play date.  This car collector consignor never raced it, or tracked it, never smoked in, never beat and always garage kept it.  Bathed in Viper Red, snappy 18 and 19-inch wheels, original factory tires, and a black convertible, it seems like all the boxes are double checked to me, so get on it kids!

Exterior
Inspired by Pete Brock's classic Shelby Cobra Daytona coupe and sporting one of the most unique shapes ever put on American roads, this 2003 Viper looks fantastic from every angle.  A Viper Red exterior, plunked on a racing style chassis, and aluminum space frame.  Plenty of carbon fiber can be eyed throughout obtaining the decrease in weight.  An updated nose with a 4 section grille, open aero inset headlights, and side ports in the aft sections of the front quarters make it very racy looking.  A bit of length added, and plenty of snarling Viper badges adorn the exterior of this car along with the bulbous rear an inset exhaust outlet on the rockers and on the rear roll pan the beginnings of an early splitter.  Chromed alloy wheels are 18-inches in front, and 19 in back wrapped in 275/35ZR18's in front and 345/30ZR19's on back.  All factory original rubber.  I feel like I'm sneaking a view of the center foldout, holding the magazine horizontally and staring in awe, but I digress, I read that magazine for the articles!

Interior
Like the cars which inspired it, this Viper features a fresh black interior that places an emphasis on simplicity and performance above all else.  The leather and suede bucket seats are so comfortable that Dodge actually licensed their design as an office chair.  Black satin roll bars are arching above the seat headrests, and just behind a clean black tonneau covers the top which neatly folds behind the seats.  The door panels, while simple, feature both satin finished door handles and a vertical bar pull.  In front of the seats, a large dash holds clear white-face gauges, and an AM/FM/6-CD player that blasts your favorites through a 7 speaker 310 watt sound system.  To the driver's right is a vertical lineup of smaller gauges to keep track of the vitals at all times.  Between the seats, a stitched shifter placed ergonomically into a black wide console, also houses change storage and a flip up power outlet.  Below the seats, white embroidered Viper logo floor mats protect like-new carpet.  Connecting the driver to the road is a nice set of factory aluminum foot pedals which hang below an exclusive leather wrapped and stitched steering wheel.   Cold air conditioning, power steering, power windows, power locks, and power mirrors give you a touch of creature comforts in this racer.  Also, adjustable pedals are functioning to fit any driver, and the driver and passenger are protected by front air bags.  A fully finished trunk is all business with a 'compact' spare tire and jack, and plenty of black carpeting. 

Drivetrain
An illuminated power button beckons the driver to push it, and in doing so brings to life an 8.3 liter SFI V-10 engine.  The massive engine is in pristine condition, is fed by EFI, and we note a dual intake directly scooping up air from the front of the engine bay.   Bolted on to the back is a 6-speed T56 manual transmission.  To spin the rear tires a 3.07 rear axle is installed.  It is said that this combination enables this car to travel at speeds up to 200mph.  I refused to try this during the test drive and I'll use the excuse of LOW MILES.  Like I stated, I read that magazine for the articles and I'm sticking to that!

Undercarriage
Bringing that racing mass to a halt are power ABS 4 piston per caliper Brembo discs grabbing on to 14” rotors.  A flat underbody pan is seen under the clean bottom of this car, and this provides much needed stability as well as improved aerodynamics at high speed.  Independent coil sprung suspension provides the ride and handling to beat the band.  

Drive-Ability
I kept it to a minimum as we try to do with all low original mileage cars, so it was a quick startup and 1 lap around the track.  All was working just fine.  

This low low mileage per year Viper is as stated a well kept toy.  It is now ready to change hands, so take a close look, and see if it reaches out and bites your inner need for speed, and style. Venom is addictive.
