Exactly as described, the Viper GTS Track Package takes the Viper's performance to the next level with upgrades including slotted two-piece lightweight rotors from StopTech and super lightweight Sidewinder II wheels fitted with high-performance Pirelli P Zero Corsa sport tires.

An optional matte finish on the wheels will require an additional $500.
To complement the performance focus on the outside, SRT is offering a slew of options inside the Viper as well.

Premium nylon will be the standard offering for the base Viper while the Nappa leather seats will be available as a $3,000 option in the base Viper and as standard equipment in the Viper GTS. Finally, the $7,500 GTS Laguna interior package will generously apply the exquisite material throughout the cabin of a Viper GTS.
Beyond performance and creature comforts, the SRT Viper does not skimp on tech and gadgets either. The Grand Touring Package offers a number of technology amenities including an upgraded infotainment system featuring full 3D graphic navigation and one-step voice destination entry, Bluetooth, and a back-up camera. An embedded cellular connection allows the Viper to also provide live traffic updates and several downloadable apps.
While the Viper's engine note from its 8.4 liter V10 is more than enough to satisfy most audiophiles, SRT will also provide Satellite and HD radio to enhance longer drives. What's more SRT will also offer an impressive 18-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio package, available in both the base Viper and Viper GTS, for $2,995 and $1,000, respectively.
