Up for sale is my 2007 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona.  This car is #268 out of 1,500 made during 2007.  I am the first and only owner of the vehicle.  It was purchased brand new back in May of 2007 and the title is clean (I own the vehicle---title in hand).  Currently, the vehicle has 33,850 miles on the odometer, but the drivetrain actually has significantly less due to all of the modifications, which are detailed below.  The car came with all options from the factory except the rear seat DVD player.

 

The car originally had the standard 5.7L Hemi engine, but it has been swapped out for a fully forged 6.5L stroker motor that was purpose-built for a boosted application.  The shortblock was blueprinted and assembled by ERL Performance, and it utilizes a K1 forged crankshaft, K1 H-beam forged rods, ARP mains, and Wiseco 9:1 forged pistons.  The cam is also designed to work with a supercharger, as it is a 228/236 on a 116 LSA.  On top of that, the car has ported and polished street/strip heads from PWR (with PSI 1511 springs, 2.05/1.60 stainless valves, titanium retainers, bronze guides, viton seals, machined locks, and hardened locators).  When the motor swap was performed, brand new SRT lifters, forged pushrods, a new timing set, a 6.1 oil pump, and all new bolts/gaskets were installed as well to keep everything brand new.  The car has Dynatech long-tube headers and gutted cats, flowing into a Borla “125” catback exhaust system with rolled 5” tips.  The car is set up for DMH cutouts as well.  I still have the factory shortblock that the car came with, should the new owner truly desire to have that as well (can be worked out for an additional price if desired, otherwise I am holding onto it for a future project).  All of the motor and transmission work was performed by Erik Storms of BFNY Performance---the best builder in the business, hands down.  His reputation precedes him, so the car was built with the utmost care and professionalism that you can possibly get from a modern Hemi installer.  The motor swap was completed when the car had 29,246 miles on it, so the engine alone only has roughly 4,600 miles on it----practically brand new.

 

On top of the motor sits is a 2.8L Kenne Bell supercharger.  The blower was both purchased from and installed/tuned by Tim Barth of Mr. Norm’s Performance in Rockford, IL.  This shop specializes in Kenne Bell distribution and installation, so once again the install of this supercharger was performed by some of the best in the business.  With a 15lb pulley on, the car put down 648rwhp (that’s roughly 750 crank horsepower).  The tune was backed down to 11lbs of boost to make it easier to manage for street driving, and that tune makes roughly 585rwhp as the car sits (approximately 715 crank horsepower).  The blower was installed about a year after the motor when the car had 30,464 miles on it, so even the supercharger is practically brand new as well.  Fueling this setup is an in-tank 255 Walbro fuel pump, a Kenne Bell boost-a-pump, -4 braided feed lines from tank to rails, billet fuel rails with front crossover, and SRT4 stage II injectors.

 

In July of 2012, a new high performance transmission was installed in order to support all of the engine modifications.  The transmission was built by Enhanced Transmissions out of Cleveland, OH with all upgraded clutches and was again installed by BFNY.  The car has a completely custom 3100 billet stall converter as well, which was both designed and built by “BuilderBill” of Paramount Performance to work with a twin screw supercharger.  Connecting the transmission to the rear end is a two-piece chromoly driveshaft from Paramount Performance as well.  The stock 2.82 open rear differential was swapped out for a Getrag 3.73 limited slip rear end, which is essentially what most Challengers would later come with from the factory (beefier axles and a taller gear ratio).

 

The car has a Wilwood big brake kit installed at all four corners for stopping power.  The kit was purchased from TCE Performance Products back when the car had roughly 14K miles on it.  In front, the kit utilizes 6-piston W6A calipers (with black powdercoat) on top of 14” two-piece, lightweight Wilwood rotors.  In back, the kit utilizes 4-piston Wilwood calipers (with black powdercoat) on top of 13” two-piece, lightweight Wilwood rotors.  Both front and rear kits utilize stainless steel braided brake lines as well.

 

I originally installed Eibach coilovers on the car when it had roughly 10K miles on it.  I have since upgraded to an air ride suspension system, but the Eibach struts are still used with this kit.  The Eibach springs were swapped for air bags from Universal Air Suspension, who makes a phenomenal kit designed specifically for the Charger.  There is a 5-gallon air tank, two Viair 480C air compressors, and all of the necessary valves installed in the spare tire well of the trunk, completely hidden from view.  The air ride is controlled from a 3-switch panel that fits in the ash tray, just below the radio, for ease and convenience of use.  The car will sit less than an inch off the ground if you air it down when parked, otherwise it can maintain a factory ride-height for driving purposes as you see fit.

 

Exterior-wise, the car has undergone a complete transformation.  All of the major bodywork (widebody, suicide doors, and vented front fenders) was performed by none other than the Widebody King himself---Topo of TS Designs in Paramount, CA.  This is NOT a pre-fabbed kit.  All of the body work is hand-crafted metal from start to finish.  The car was in his possession for just shy of a year to get it to the point that you see now.  The widebody resulted in approximately a 4” flare to either side of the rear end, starting near the taillight on each side and extending all the way down the middle of each rear door.  The front fenders are stock Charger fenders that have been modified to include the vent (they are NOT fiberglass or any other cheap replacement material, but rather factory metal fenders).  The suicide hinges were purchased from the best in the business as well---Street Dreams by Ross out of Michigan.  He makes the best and strongest parts for suicide applications, and he came highly recommended by Topo as well.  This is the type of body surgery you only want to do ONCE and never have to worry about it again, so that is exactly what was accomplished here: the best parts installed by the best people.

 

To fill out the widebody, the car has completely custom USW Forged “D-LUX” wheels.  These are three-piece wheels with a gloss black/Sublime painted center, chrome outer barrels, and black powdercoated inner barrels.  The front wheels are 22x9.5” with 265/30/22 Pirelli tires, and the rears are 22x12” (8” outer barrel and 4” inner) wrapped in massive 335/25/22 Pirelli tires.  Nothing was spared on this wheel/tire combo.  The wheels were cut perfectly to clear the brakes without spacers, and the fit and finish is second to none.

 

The car has a front fascia and side skirts made by Grip Tuning.  The side skirts had to be modified a bit to accommodate the widebody, to be expected.  The car maintains the factory Sublime Metallic paint that it originally came with, but it has a bit more flake added to the mix than factory.  From more than 10 feet away, you can’t even tell it’s any different from the stock color, but get up close to it or catch it in the right light and the flake will really pop.  The car has some airbrush work done on the outside (hood, quarter panels, trunk  lid, spoiler) as well as under the hood.  All of the remaining prep and primary paint/clear/finishing work was performed by Addison Auto Body in Addison, IL---again, complete masters of their craft.  The car is absolutely perfect from bumper to bumper (absolutely no dents, dings, or scratches of any kind).  The car has 40% tint all the way around, and a 15% banner across the front window, which ties in with the gloss black roof and painted window trim nicely.

 

Under the hood, the engine bay has been completely transformed, largely due to all of the billet aluminum add-ons from Billet Technology out of South Florida.  They produced the black anodized valve covers, coil packs covers, and under-hood cover/cap kit.  They also did all of the “HULK” engraving that you see on these parts as well.  The painted reservoirs, ABS cover, and firewall cover were done in color-matched Sublime paint as well.  The radiator cover (which carries the flame/stripe combo under the hood when it is popped for shows) will come along with the car too.

 

The interior of the car remains largely untouched from the factory.  The steering wheel trim and gauge rings were painted Sublime to match the radio bezel, and the shifter handle was swapped for a black billet version.  Other than that, the seats, door panels, headliner, carpeting, etc. all remain as they were from the factory.  I was not willing to sacrifice comfort inside the car for interior car-show features, so aside from the sound system work, the interior is completely stock.  The factory navigation unit was swapped for a Pioneer AVIC-F900BT NAV unit, but still runs stock interior speakers throughout.  In the trunk, an Alpine PDX1.1000 powers a JL Audio 13W7 subwoofer mounted in a trunk set up built specifically for the Charger by JL Audio themselves down in South Florida.  The box and beauty panels are wrapped in a grey-colored suede, and the inside of the box has Sublime painted walls as well.  There is a “DAYTONA” emblem in the floor of the trunk that is lit by green LED’s when the trunk is popped.  There is an HC1200 Kinetik battery in use for the sound system---in addition to the stock car battery---so as to prevent unnecessary drain on the car.

 

I spent five years of my life getting this car to the point it is at now.  This was all done by me personally---no sponsorships, and nothing was free or anything like that---with a lot of help from a lot of great people that went into this car.  No expenses were spared when this car was built.  The car can be turned into a weekend showcar or a full-on drag car with absolute ease, but it was built to be a turnkey daily driver first and foremost.  I wanted the car to be as reliable as it was when I first bought it, so it was always built with that in mind from the start.  I have spent the last year since “finishing” the car to enjoy what I’ve built, but now it is time to move on to something else.  I can provide as much detail as needed on ANY of the parts/people that were involved in the building of this car, should the new owner ever need to track down some information about anything that was done to the car.  Please let me know if there are any questions, and good luck with the bidding.

 

-I am not interested in trades of any sort

-Upon auction close, a $500.00 deposit will be required within 24 hours. The remaining balance must be paid in full before the car can be picked up.

-The car can be shipped if local pick-up is not possible, but it must be done completely at the buyer's coordination and expense.

-All sales are final.

SRT back to Dodge, Dart SRT, new Challenger, Charger and Caravan's death outlined in 5-yr plan

Tue, 06 May 2014

The onslaught of news from Fiat Chrysler's layout of five-year plans continued with Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis this morning, including the unexpected announcement that SRT was coming back into the fold.
After just a few years existing as an independent entity within the Fiat Chrysler universe, an unceremonious press release hit in conjunction with today's lineup of announcements, saying "the SRT family of vehicles will be consolidated under the Dodge brand." Group CEO Sergio Marchionne thanked SRT headman Ralph Gilles for his dedication to the high-performance wing, calling out is efforts in expanding the vehicle lineup and including more customized models. He did not reference disappointing SRT Viper sales today, but we sense there's a bit of subtext.
With the SRT reunion at Dodge, it's appropriate that some of the most exciting product announcements for the next five years have to do with upcoming performance products. First out of the gate will be a refresh for that flagging Viper in 2015, which comes as little surprise.

2015 Dodge Charger shows off its new look in New York [w/videos]

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

With a new look inspired largely by the Dart compact, the 2015 Dodge Charger made its New York Auto Show debut today. Along with the interior and exterior changes, an eight-speed automatic becomes standard across the range.
What hasn't changed is the choice of engines under the Charger's long hood. A 3.7-liter V6 serves as the base mill, and can be had in both rear- and all-wheel-drive varieties, while the 5.7-liter V8 is an optional item and can be had in rear-drive only. Outputs are also carried over from last year, with 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque for the six-pot, while the Hemi V8 delivers 370 hp and 395 lb-ft of torque.
The new exterior treatment is a fairly large departure from the styling tone set by the Charger since its reintroduction to the US market in 2006. The blacked-out, crosshair grille and new headlamps are the biggest changes for 2015, though there are other, less immediately noticeable updates, such as the more rounded "Racetrack" taillamps that, like the front fascia, draw some inspiration from the Dart.

2014 Dodge Durango bows with eight-speed auto, updated looks [w/video]

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

Dodge has significantly updated its full-size Durango for the 2014 model year, giving the seven-passenger hauler a fresh look and a well-rounded boost of competitive features as it enters its fourth year in the showroom.
Cosmetically, it is hard to miss the revised front end with projector-beam headlamps and LED daytime running lamps, "floating" crosshair grille, a taller front bumper and a new lower fascia. The rear end of the facelifted Durango has been redesigned with the automaker's now-signature LED "racetrack" taillamps and resculpted rear fascia. All of the wheels are new too, with 18- and 20-inch options for each trim level with a variety of factory finishes.
Inside the cabin, buyers can select the automaker's latest Uconnect infotainment system with a full suite of infotainment features and connectivity accessed through an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Other optional goodies include a heated steering wheel, heated second-row seating and a Blu-Ray player capable of running unique programs on the twin individual rear monitors.
