The 2013 SRT Viper Aero looks even more gorgeous outside of the dim and dark artificial lighting of the SEMA show floor. The color and its curves just pop out at you, really making it the kind of car you can stare at for hours and never get bored.
Though it hasn’t entered production yet, Mopar lightly modified the Viper Aero with Mopar’s aero kit, which includes a carbon fiber front splitter and ducktail rear spoiler. The modifications are good for 300 pounds of down force at 150 mph and 500 pounds of down force at V-Max. The Viper Aero also benefited from a new carbon fiber “X-Brace” under the hood. The new carbon fiber piece weighs half as much as the aluminum piece it replaces, and is also stiffens up the front end. Completing the package, the Viper Aero had a coil over suspension kit, racing buckets with five-point harnesses, and a new carbon fiber trim piece between the driver and passenger seats that not only acts as a storage cubby, but also includes a GoPro mount.
Mopar says most parts of the Viper’s factory-backed modifications will be available soon after the 2013 Viper’s launch. In the works for the SRT Viper’s future are headers and a full exhaust kit. Mopar wouldn’t confirm or deny a forced-induction kit being in development, but did say that the 2013 Viper’s engine architecture makes doing so “easier.”
Though Mopar’s PR reps wouldn’t let us take the Viper out for a spin, the V-10 powered Dodge Charger Juiced was a different story.
