A few years ago, I wanted to buy a fun car, like an STI, or Lancer Evolution, but I just didn't want to pay $20k minimum for something decent. That's when I looked into the SRT 4. I found that I could get way less milage, and a way faster car, for THOUSANDS less! I found a rich guy in Florida who purchased the car at 50k miles and had it built into the monster that it is today, then decided to get into building a new truck so he sold the SRT to me. I bought it with 58k miles and drove it up to Virginia. In the past three years I've put on only 13,000 miles. The fact is, I have two kids, want a third, and I want to cash out to pay off some debt. That's the only reason. I will truly be sore for years about selling this car and my son will be mad at me one day when he figures out that I sold out the car that could have been his. The car runs and drives more than great, which brings me to the description of the goods about this car.

CLEAN TITLE. The car was professionally built and tuned to 455 Horsepower to the wheels. This process began with all new, bullet proof internals in the head of the engine to handle the larger amount of boost from the upgraded Borg Warner S256 70mm Turbo. Right now the 455 whp is on a conservative tune of 23 lbs. of boost on pump gas. The car can handle that power like it's nothing because the car was built to handle 30+ lbs. of boost and has a tune option for race gas (The care has never gone there, and I have never wanted to go there...the car is scary fast as it is).

I didn't do the upgrades myself and I can't remember everything that was done. The list below covers most of the upgrades and if you are interested in the part specifics, send me a question and I'll get in touch with the previous owner to find out for you.

Big front mount intercooler

Diablo Sport Predator Tune (Comes with handheld computer programmer)

Upgraded Engine internals including Brian Crower 18 cams

Cam gears

Eibach Lowing springs

Smaller race battery

Sale includes a straight pipe to replace exhaust with if you're going to race (I've never used it).

There's more that I'm sure I'm missing. Overall, the car has $14,000 in part upgrades resulting in a ridiculously awesome car that will embarrass just about any car you can find on the road.

Now I want to be honest and clear about how this car has been used. It was stock until somewhere after 50k miles when it was professionally built. When completed, the builder took it to the drag strip to test it out. He recorded a quarter mile time of 11.8 seconds. He posted the video on youtube.com which you can watch at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aleuhPeqRTg.

Two months later, I purchased the car. I'm almost thirty years old. I have never ever ever been to a race track/drag strip with this car, nor have I ever gone out "racing" in it. I have never raced from a dig (starting from being completely stopped). Occasionally, honestly hardly ever given that I usually have kids in the car and there's always traffic, someone on the freeway wants to see what I've got so I'll pull in one gear and then let off. I've seen the dyno screen of the power and I know the car delivers monster power up to 7400 rpms, but I've never past 6500 or so - you'll know why when you drive it. Again, the car was built to handle this kind of power and the best part is, if you treat it nicely as I have, it's going to be an awesome reliable car. I've had no reliablility issues with it at all. When I was buying the car, I was worried about buying a modded car. The builder explained to me that so much had been replaced with stronger, better parts, that I was really getting a more dependable car with a longer life than a stock one. After three years, I can tell you, he was right. The only thing I've had to do mechanically besides maintaing it (I do mobile 1 synthetic oil changes), was change the clutch disc. The funny part about that, was that I changed it because I thought the clutch was slipping at the top end of first and second gear....turns out, I was just spinning my tires =0 So I didn't need the disc replaced, but replaced it is anyway. Now I have the better NT05 tires on and wheel spin is greatly reduced. The car is in excellent mechanical condition and I can think of nothing that needs replacing now, or even in the distant future.

Not everything about the car is show ready, here are some not so good realities about this car:

I have the car Plasti Dipped matte black which I had done by a local guy. He didn't do a great job (there is some texture in the surface), I still like the look, but if you don't like it, you can just peel it off (google plasti dip or youtube it to learn more) and beneath it you have a the factory flame red paint job with carbon fiber hood and trunk. The trunk shows some early signs of clouding in the finish of the carbon fiber.

On the top part of the dash there is a vent that the plastic has broken out of. It's a common problem in the SRT4, and doesn't bother me much and no one seems to notice. You could replace the dash top for about $100 or make your own mesh vent cover or something.

The driver's side seat has some signs of wear that are VERY common in SRT4s, and mine aren't that bad. There is one dime sized tear in the lower part of the seat, and some cracking in the upper right part of the seat. Again, very common in all srt4 seats.

You'll notice in the vehicle history report that there was a front end incident with a parked car. When it was down in Florida, the previous owner was leaving a parking space and thought he had enough turning radius to get by...he didn't and scuffed the bumper. New bumper, no problems, no signs that anything happend at all.

That's all the bads.

The opportunity to own this car is too good to pass up. If you want super car performance but don't have $75,000, this is it! 71k miles is low for SRT-4s and it's going to be a reliable, awesome car for years to come. This one is like no other, you'll be VERY happy with it.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.

Lackluster Dodge Dart sales trigger layoffs

Thu, 06 Mar 2014

Hidden amidst the overall very positive sales figures that Chrysler released earlier this week were a few disappointments, the biggest of which may be the Dodge Dart. While Dodge sales in general were down 11 percent from a year ago, the Dart's poor figures stood out from the rest - with 4,888 units sold, the Dart was down 37 percent in February.
It comes as little surprise, then, that the automaker has announced layoffs at its assembly plant in Belvidere, IL. According to The Daily Herald, Dodge will temporarily lay off 325 workers "to balance vehicle supply with current sales demand." Put more simply, there are more Darts than buyers at the moment...
We don't think the Dodge Dart is a bad car, but it's playing in a market that offers a few standout sellers, like the Chevy Cruze, Ford Focus, Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. According to AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan, as quoted by The Daily Herald, "great incentives on the Dodge Avenger" are also partly to blame for the Dart's poor showing.
