SRT CEO Ralph Gilles has confirmed that the American automaker has no intentions of expanding the transmission offerings on the SRT Viper nor will it build a cheaper, entry-level model to compete in the marketplace. That means, don’t expect the SRT Viper to get a smaller engine than the V10 being offered now, at least not any time in the near future.
Gilles does admit that adding a dual-clutch or conventional automatic transmission to the Viper’s lineup would increase volume and sales, but stands firm that the Viper is a “purist’s car,” and should be a “driver’s car,” which means it should naturally have a manual transmission.
