The V10 now sings through a Corsa exhaust with Belanger high-flow cats, but the original exhaust comes with the sale if you want to keep things stock.2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster CopperheadBring a TrailerAdvertisementAdvertisementThe OfferSpecificationDetailMakeDodgeModelViper SRT-10 Roadster (Copperhead Edition)Year2005Mileage8,000 milesEngine8.3-liter naturally aspirated V10Power500 horsepower / 525 lb-ftTransmissionTremec six-speed manualDrive TypeRear-wheel drive with limited-slip differentialExterior ColorCopperhead Orange SatinInterior ColorBlack leather with microsuedeEditionCopperhead Edition (#164 of 300 built)Wheels18-inch front / 19-inch rear Copperhead five-spoke alloysInterested in this 2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster Copperhead Edition?
