Many years and dollars have been spent optimizing this Viper for the enjoyment of its next owner. It has always been garaged, covered, detailed and meticulously maintained.  It has never seen either rain or a race track. Over $155,000 invested.  Dynoed at 706 rear wheel HP and 704 foot pounds of torque.  (Contact me for Dyno sheet).  Car has an RSI normally aspirated 522 CI stroker motor built for reliability and insane sound (idles like a funny car, screams like a Le Mans prototype when you step on it.  I've had guys in Lamborghinis and Ferraris wave me by so they can listen to this car.  See youtube links below for a similar sounding cars).  RSI estimates 0-60 2.9 seconds, Quarter Mile: 10.22 at 140 MPH.  Top Speed 218.  All without the Quaife torque biasing rear differential in this car.


This car is dramatically faster and better sounding than the new Viper.  The interior leather is a higher quality, and the stereo and tires are better, all for a small fraction of the price.

 The equipment list is as follows. The engine mods have about 4,000 miles on them.  Leather interior under 500 miles,  Quaife differential under 1,000.  Tires under 1,000.  (Prices are from invoices):

The Copperhead in this YouTube video sounds similar to my car, somewhat less radical; but it gives you an idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2v4ytR09bw.

This is a normally aspirated RSI Viper motor idling.  The sound coming out of the exhaust is much cooler, but this give you an idea of what the intake looks like etc.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnSFxe5Re4g

Old vs. New: 2014 SRT Viper takes on upgraded 16-year-old Dodge Viper

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

It's easy to play the "Would you rather have a New X or an Old Y with a bunch of upgrades?" game more often than we care to admit, but the crew at Car and Driver have taken bench racing to the next level with their latest video. In it, the magazine pits a brand-new 2014 SRT Viper against a highly modified 1997 Dodge Viper GTS. There are 16 years between the time this particular GTS rolled off the production line and when the new car bowed, but that doesn't mean the old snake's owners have been sitting on their hands.
Thanks to a spate of modifications, the GTS offers up a better power to weight ratio than the new machine, but is that enough to overcome the technological leap forward represented by the 2014 Viper? We won't spoil it for you. You'll just have to check out the full clip below for yourself.

Dodge hoping Fast & Furious appearance gives Dart a sales jolt [w/video]

Tue, 28 May 2013

According to Automotive News, Chrysler is hoping Fast & Furious 6 will be kind to the Dodge Dart. While the compact sedan doesn't actually show up in the film, Dodge has partnered up with the movie franchise for a new ad featuring the Dart.
Chrysler hasn't exactly seen the high sales numbers it was originally hoping for with the new sedan, thanks in part to a couple of missteps. For starters, most early-production vehicles were only offered with a manual transmission. Analysts believe Chrysler squandered around 95 percent of potential Dart sales because automatic transmission options weren't immediately available.
Right now, the Dodge Dart rakes 19th among compact cars, pulling down 31,064 sales through April. Last month was the company's strongest, with 8,099 units moving off of dealer lots. Unfortunately, the model has also been handicapped by its older sister, the Avenger. With Chrysler throwing heavy incentives at the aging sedan, many consumers have taken advantage of a better deal with the slightly larger, more powerful Avenger.

Small number of 2013 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger models recalled

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

A small number of units of the 2013 Chrysler 200 (inset) and 2013 Dodge Avenger are being recalled over a broken control valve in the fuel tank assembly. The potential 1,785 sedans were manufactured late last year, and if affected with a broken control valve could suffer from stalling or fuel leakage.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that the recall should begin next month, at which time owners can take their cars to dealers for repair free of charge. The full release with more information is just below.
