Take the full-size Ram 1500 and add high-performance suspension and brakes, then borrow the outrageous V10 engine out of Dodge's Viper supercar and stuff it into that stepped-hood prow. The result becomes an ultimate performance pickup dubbed SRT-10.
Viper's aluminum big-block V10 engine numbers elevate this truck to the stratosphere of the triple 500 Club. It brings 500 hp with 525 lb-ft of torque and more than 500 cubic inches in engine displacement. That means acceleration times around five seconds for the run from zero to 60 mph and a maximum speed topping 150 mph. What other truck can do that? Serious performance hardware matches the big engine. Engineers at Chrysler Group's Performance Vehicle Operations (PVO) modified the steering and front suspension of a standard Ram by dropping it an inch in front for a rump-high stance. Then they hitched up new front and rear strut assemblies and rear sway bar, plus Bilstein mono-tube shocks and performance-tuned springs. The brakes carry new 15-inch rotors up front with 14-inch rear rotors out of Ram's heavy-duty truck. Huge 22-inch Viper-style wheels roll with Pirelli Scorpion tires.
You can recognized the SRT-10 by the front hood set with a wide power bulge and scoop mounted over the signature Dodge cross-hair grille, or from the rear view by a functional rear wing.
