Dodge Viper Srt10 Coupe Special Launch Edition #43 on 2040-cars
Lakewood, Washington, United States
This beautiful Launch Edition SRT10 Coupe is a joy to drive, the A/C blows ICE Cold and the Sound system has the ability to load and play multiple MP3/CD Discs or plug in your IPOD or MP3 player directly. This car is the 2006 Launch Edition and has special significance because it is #43 of 200 which happens to be the most Iconic Dodge racer of all time, The King Richard Petty The exhaust is custom built by NayKid Racing a (previously) factory supported Viper racing team and demands attention without being obnoxious while releasing a little more power from the mighty V10 over stock The fact that we raced new from the factory Vipers (this car was never raced) allowed some team spares (brand new parts) to find their way onto this team owner's street car as follows: * Full T1 Suspension * Moton Double Adjustable Remote Reservoir Shocks * Eibach Coil-over Springs * Fully adjustable sway bars The tires and wheels have less than 2,000 miles on them as they were pulled off one of the race cars during it's conversion from street car and installed on this car. The car has been tasteful lowered just enough to look drop dead sexy yet still navigate the average speed bump or driveway successfully. The driver's seat has been lowered 1" which is just enough that a six footer doesn't have to lean over in the car to see a traffic light. FYI: "rebuilt" title due to mishap when car was very new, many Viper's ended up with rebuilt titles due the extremely high cost of parts and commonly being owned by very meticulous people who pushed insurance companies to total rather than repair these powerful machines. I've owned this car for 5 years, it was repaired, inspected licensed and insured before I bought it. It has been licensed, insured and driven for pleasure every year since. In Washington you must take the damaged car, after the repair is made and "before" you are issued a title and are granted the ability to license the car for the highway you must have the car inspected. Once the car has been inspected and deemed repaired properly and safe for the road you are issued a "branded" title which could say, "rebuilt" (as in this case) or "not actual miles" etc and then you license the car and smog check it etc just like any other car never to bother again with anything more than any other clean title car. I have to smog check it every other year which it passes with flying colors because we've made no changes that affect smog. As for insurance I've also had insurance on it the whole time with Ameriprize and all I had to do was have an inspection done by an ASE mechanic and show current pictures of car the same as insuring a classic. It could be different in another state but I would be surprised and I encourage you to make a couple calls. The thing that happened a lot with these Vipers was they would have incur light damage and the salvage value is so high on them that the insurance company could make out better by totaling them. In other words, the way a car is determined to be totaled is as follows: Cost of repairs + expenses related to downtime (IE: rental car) OR Replacement cost (how much car owner will settle for to walk away from car) - salvage value (what someone will buy the damaged car for) is what determines the insurance company's outlay. Whichever is the less of the two determines if car will be totaled or not. Typically a Viper is worth $75k to replace yet brings $55k in salvage so net loss for insurance company is $20k, when you compare that to $15k to repair a small damage + 60 days worth of rental cars and expenses @ $6k that's $21k so better off to total even with minor damage... This car was repaired properly and is owned and driven by an accomplished road racing team owner as his personal street car, this also allowed for this car to end up with some very cool and elusive parts direct from Dodge Motorsports due to his Sponsorship with Dodge. See above for description...

Real-life Bravado Banshee from Grand Theft Auto up for sale
Sun, 01 Jun 2014Remember the Bravado Banshee that West Coast Customs built last year to promote Grand Theft Auto V? Given away by GameStop, the woman who won it says she's better off with money to send her two kids to college than with a race car, so now you can steal buy it on eBay.
Based on a 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10, every exterior panel was redesigned to match the Banshee, and the red embroidered badging inside won't let you forget it. There's still that V10 up front that can make some kind of racket, and a SEMA-worthy stereo filling the entire trunk to make a different kind of racket. Oh, it's also got hood struts that have crapped out, so you'll notice the hood is held up with a wooden rod.
The auction ends on June 5, and you can make an offer or hit the Buy It Now button and hand over $170,000. Might be time to change the outfit and run a few jobs for some quick cash.
Dodge Scat Pack for 5.7L Hemi V8 detailed, priced
Sat, 05 Apr 2014Dodge revived the Scat Pack name back in November at the 2013 SEMA show. At the time, though, we were short of details on forthcoming upgrade packages, which were destined to add some oomph to the Challenger, Charger and Dart. We're still waiting to hear about the upgrades to the Dart's 2.4-liter four-pot, but Dodge has gone ahead and released the details on the upgrades to the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 in the Challenger and Charger R/T.
As we detailed in our original post, three different Scat Packs will be available that will allow customers to upgrade their cars without voiding the warranties. Starting with the $2,195 Stage 1 kit, owners will net an extra 18 horsepower and 18 pound-feet of torque thanks to a Mopar-branded cold-air intake, exhaust and ECU ref lash. Stage 1 is also the only package that could be installed outside of a Chrysler-authorized service center without voiding the warranty (a mechanically competent owner could even do it at home, we're told by Dodge). Stage 2 builds on the entry level Scat Pack, and adds performance camshaft kit, which boosts output over the stock 5.7 by up to 30 hp for $1,895. As with the Stage 1, the ECU is tweaked.
For those that want to go whole hog, they can add the Stage 3 for $4,995. The top-tier gets quite serious, adding CNC-ported cylinder heads, as well as high-flow headers and cats. Output over stock is 58 hp and 47 lb-ft of torque. Each kit comes with a pair of badges, just in case owners want a bit of visual flair.
Coal-rolling Ram dually does tandem beer-shooting burnout with ATV in bed
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Sometimes a video comes around that just makes you shake your head in disbelief. Take for example these guys from Nebraska in their dually diesel flatbed Ram, doing a smoky burnout. Lighting up the tires is nothing new, but these folks take things a step further by having another guy on an ATV in bed that is also smoking the tires. Finally, people are sitting on a couch in the bed taking the whole show in, as beer cans shoot out of the stacks.
There have been several stories recently about the scourge of rolling coal, i.e., diesel trucks modified to lay down a thick, black smoke screen, sometimes for vaguely political reasons. Whatever your opinion is on it, breathing in this much nasty stuff isn't exactly great for your health. Of course, it turns out that burning rubber is pretty awful, too. Both diesel and tire emissions contain cancer-causing Group 1 carcinogens. Combine them with the cigarette smoking here, and these guys are an oncologist's nightmare. Scroll down to take it all in for yourself. Warning, there is a little explicit language.
