Dodge, Jeep, Chevrolet, GMC and Ford are all "makes" of vehicles. After reading this article, I am assuming they are simply creating a separate "make" to market the Viper under.
I'm just curious why they would use the word "model" to describe a separate car brand. 
Side note: I always thought SRT was considered a trim level... |
They're not talking about SRT as a model though. They're talking about a model (the Viper) as being part of the SRT brand.
To say that "Viper is an SRT make" would mean that Viper is a level above SRT, which it isn't. Its easier to understand (at least for me) if you replace 'make' with 'brand'. So, lets try it that way: "Viper is an SRT brand". That doesn't make sense. SRT is a Chrysler Group brand. Viper is an SRT model. But Viper is not an SRT brand.
And yes, SRT used to be a trim level/performance division. Making it its own brand came from the same great minds that felt that Ram needed to be spun off from Dodge.
