2014 SRT Viper TA Is Ready To Hit The Track
SRT has announced the 2014 Viper TA. The TA portion of the name stands for Time Attack and signifies a spec-package for the 2014 Viper that's designed for extreme performance on the road racing course. The vehicle will be highly limited edition and will come in a single exterior paint color called crusher orange.
SRT will offer only 33 2014 Viper TA models that will be available starting in Q3 of 2013. The vehicle is configured in house by SRT in collaboration with professional road racers and the vehicle is street legal. The 2014 Viper TA will make its public debut on March 27 at the New York auto show.
The vehicle is based on the SRT Viper and is the lightest vehicle in the 2014 Viper lineup. Parts to make the vehicle more race worthy are mostly pre-developed components straight from the SRT parts catalog. The parts give the vehicle a 50/50 weight distribution and the largest tire contact patch in the production car world.
The car gets suspension that is upgraded specifically for track work and to maximize the performance of the vehicles Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires. The tires are mounted on light weight SideWinder II wheels. The shocks for the car are two-mode Bilstein Damptronic that has firmer levels of damping and a smaller spread between modes that one is using the current Viper GTS model. The vehicle also has firmer springs and road racing derived stabilizer bars along with a lighter carbon fiber structural X-brace. The car will use the same 8.4-liter all aluminum V10 under the hood producing 640 hp and 600 pound-foot of torque. Pricing is unknown at this time.
