About SRT Viper
The SRT Viper was introduced at the 2012 New York Auto Show. In October 2013, production was cut by one-third due to poor sales and inventory buildup. In April 2014, production was halted for more than two months due to poor sales. The engine was upgraded by five hp. And the peak power increased to 645 hp. Off-road fuel consumption was also improved to 20 mpg. In October 2015, Fiat Chrysler Group announced that production of the SRT Viper would cease in 2017, initially citing low sales figures as the reason for the discontinuation. However, according to other sources, production of the car was halted because the SRT Viper did not meet the safety requirements of FMVSS 226. It requires the installation of side airbags.
In July 2017, Fiat Chrysler announced that the Connor assembly plant would close permanently on August 31, 2017. The Time Attack model was introduced in 2013 and is only used on the SRT Viper VX Stage I. The model was available in two variants, 1.0 and 2.0. They differed from each other. The number of cars manufactured between 2015 and 2017 with the TA 1.0 and 2.0 packages is unknown, but it is relatively small. The GTC can add a TA 1.0 or 2.0 configuration with the full TA package to further complicate matters. The car now features an upgraded aerodynamic package, lightweight Sidewinder II wheels with a matte black finish, and Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires. It is equipped with the Bilstein DampTronic double-wishbone suspension, but with firmer damping settings and less difference between settings.

The suspension has been stiffened, and thicker tires with traction control have been introduced. On March 18, 2013, SRT tested the Viper TA at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. It set a production car record of 1:33.62, beating the previous winner. For the 2015 model year, the TA version returns as TA 2.0. Part of the 2.0 name refers to an upgraded aerodynamic package. It includes a larger rear spoiler, a new front spoiler, and a new carbon fiber front splitter. The car takes its name from the carbon fiber used to reduce weight by 150 kg, resulting in a curb weight of 3,200 kg.
Most important, however, are the changes to the engine, which increases power to 625 hp. No information on torque or rpm has been provided. A front and rear spoiler and a carbon-fiber hardtop have been added. However, these parts are not as important as on the upcoming SRT-10 ACR, and no displacement or slip values were given to make them functional. This car was only a concept. This car was used as a test model during the development of the SRT Gen Viper. This car is no longer a show car, and most of its special parts were removed.
