2014-SRT-Viper-TA-front-three-quarters-in-motion-3The team up at SRT are not fooling around with the new SRT Viper TA. First shown at the New York Auto Show, since then the engineers have been working the Viper hard around the track. They’ve put a lot of work into making sure that it can keep improving in speed times.

To explain what they’ve done to enhance the performance in the TA since it was unveiled, SRT put out a video showing it speed around the race track. Watching it makes it quite clear they are out to prove that the SRT name has a high standard of quality to meet.

Many new features have been implemented to push the Viper TA. One example is mentioned by Motor Authority as the “addition of a carbon fiber rear spoiler and a two-piece front splitter.” This allows for the Viper to have an increase of 280 pounds in downforce.

Speed demons would do well to give the video a watch. A lot of work going into a car that’s only going to have 33 models made.

90% of SRT Viper Pre-Orders are for the Viper GTS

srt-viper-gal-084There’s one thing to be said about people who purchase a Viper, they don’t skimp on the cost.  That way I see it, it makes sense.  Why would you purchase a high-class speed-demon like the SRT Viper if you weren’t going willing to invest in getting the best there was?

Most car purchasers don’t think that way though.  Most buyers, especially early adopters, tend to play it safe and go with just the base model.  SRT is reporting that Viper pre-orders show a rare occurrence.  Buyers are more interested in driving off the lot in the GTS trim than the base model.  90 percent of the orders placed to be more exact.

I can’t say I blame the buyers.  For a $23k difference in price, there’s a sweet host of features that give an extra sense of luxury.  Features such as Sabelt seats with Nappa leather that come in three different colors, advanced suspension and stability control systems, SRT designed leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the Uconnect system complete with voice command.

It’s clear that people who purchase and who drive a Viper just won’t settle for second best.

2014 SRT Viper TA: Built for the Track

UntitledThat didn’t take long.  Right as the Viper is making its way out into the wild of the dealership showroom, not they’ve gone and unveiled a new model.  SRT showed off the new Viper at the New York Auto Show.  This new one specialized for being seen on the track and less so on the streets of Manhattan.

The 2014 Viper TA is a very limited edition with only 33 units planned to be on sale before the end of the year.  The changes being done are to improve the performance out on the track.  These changes include an upgrade to Brembo brakes, carbon fiber x-brace, and carbon front and rear spoilers.  The spoilers allow for an addition downforce of 300 pounds.

To get some extra oomph out of the Viper, the engine is a 8.4-liter V10 that can produce 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque.

The more obvious change is present right on the outside with the paint job being in a stand-out Crush Orange.  The tires are lightweight Pirelli P Zero Corsa.  The insides are decked out all in black with orange stitching matching the exterior color.
