"The SRT-10 is powered by a '500x3' - 505 cubic inch, 500-horsepower with 525 lb.-ft of torque V10. In 2004, the wheelbase was extended 2.6 inches and the aerodynamics greatly improved providing positive downforce at 150MPH. Other '04 changes included new cylinder heads, smaller cylinder block with larger bores, all-new cast pistons, new cracked steel connecting rods, oil-pan assembly and intake manifold assembly. The exterior includes larger headlights with High Intensity Discharge (HID) high beams for improved light output, lower hood with larger grill opening and integrated louvers, new front/rear fascias, fenders, doors and decklid. Viper also has a new roofline profile with an easy-to-operate standard tri-fold convertible top with single enter latch."
