With the Detroit show unveiling of the Viper-challenging Corvette Z06, the worst-kept secret in town, DaimlerChrysler is rushing to head 'em off at the pass. Unveiled at the Los Angeles show is the 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe.
"Rushing'' might be overstating things-we've anticipated this car ever since Dodge's first concept car for the second-generation Viper, which was not the convertible but a coupe. The open-top car debuted first, though.

Because the Viper Nation wants it, says Chrysler, citing requests from customers ever since the second-generation convertible came to market in 2003. Chrysler primed the pump a little more last fall when it gave Viper owners at a club meet in Texas an early peek at what was billed as a concept Viper Coupe (AW, Sept. 20, 2004).
"There's been a lot of demand for this car,'' says Dan Knott, director of Chrysler's Street and Racing Technology operation. "Racers, especially, prefer a coupe for structure and aerodynamics.''
