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.

2014 Dodge Durango priced from $29,795*

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

With all the new updates the Dodge Durango is getting for 2014, one thing that Dodge isn't changing on its big SUV is the starting price. Just like the current model year, the 2014 Dodge Durango will be priced from $29,795 (*not including $995 for destination).
This price is for the base SXT model, but the 2014 Durango is also offered in a new Limited trim level (replacing the Crew) as well as the sporty R/T and the luxurious Citadel. The Durango Limited starts at $35,995 (an increase of $800 over the 2013 Crew), while the R/T now starts at $38,995 (up $2,500). The top-of-the-line Durango Citadel will start at $40,995 - an increase of $1,000.
The many improvements made to the 2014 Durango include revised exterior styling, added in-cabin tech and an eight-speed automatic transmission (expected to return better fuel economy). Dodge is saying that the V6 models will get 25 miles per gallon on the highway while V8 models are expected to score 23-mpg highway, but there are no official EPA numbers to report yet. Scroll down for the full press release.

Chrysler recalls AWD 300, Charger, Ram 1500 over ZF transmission

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

What do the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Ram 1500 all have in common? Yes, they're all Chrysler products, and two of them are based on the same platform. And we're sure you could find more similarities between them all, but the common trait we're looking at here is that, while they all come standard in rear-drive form, they're also available with all-wheel drive. And it's the transmission in those models that's the subject of the latest recall notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The output shaft on the eight-speed automatic transmission supplied by ZF to Chrysler for the AWD versions of the 300, Charger and Ram 1500 is apparently prone to fracture. That in the end could leave the vehicle without power and could, according to the NHTSA investigation, increase the chance of a crash. The vehicle could also roll away if even if left in Park without the handbrake applied.
That's why Chrysler is calling in 4,194 examples of those three models from the 2013 model year. Dealers will be responsible for inspecting the transmissions and, where necessary, replace the entire unit. See the full recall notice below for all the details.

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
