*** Gtav Bravado Banshee By Rockstar And West Coast Customs ** on 2040-cars
Havelock, North Carolina, United States
Up for auction is the 2013 GTAV Bravado Banshee coupe from GameStop's PowerUp Rewards™ Epic Rewards Giveaway™.
It was commissioned by Rockstar Games to become a Bravado Banshee, one of the most iconic cars in the Grand Theft Auto games and modifications were completed by West Coast Customs (who also have a TV show on Fox Sports 2). This is a one-of-a-kind, one-in-the-world car. This is the first ever car created to represent a car in a video game by the game company. This GTAV Bravado Banshee is as rare and special as any celebrity or movie car. It is a scary fast and loud sports car that turns heads everywhere it goes and draws a crowd if it stops! It has custom body modifications, original cast rims, full trunk stereo system and many other features. I have also added a gel battery, keyed battery disconnect and hidden external battery maintainer points. It began life as a 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 that has been modified both inside and out to look like the Bravado Banshee in the Grand Theft Auto video game series. West Coast Customs made MAJOR body modifications, added custom molded Forgiator wheel rims, custom stitching to the dash, floormats and seats, updated to a huge sound system and gave it all a beautiful paint scheme. This is one fantastic looking car! The ARV of this vehicle is $180K. The current odometer is actually 7298 (the title is actually wrong, but I will continue to drive it until it sells). The stereo system is a Pioneer AVIC-Z150BH that includes CD/DVD/Navigation/SD card and I-pod/bluetooth inputs. It also acts as a BlueTooth hands free phone with a microphone located near the driver. Rockstar Games has also provided an extended warranty to cover the vehicle that is transferable to the next owner. Some information from the Rockstar Games site: Ever since its debut as the getaway car in the opening moments of Grand Theft Auto III,
the Bravado Banshee has been a symbol of the ultimate American sports
car. With its aggressive, oversized styling and powerful engine, it
became a mainstay as one of the most sought after high-performance rides
from coast to coast - from Liberty City all the way to Los Santos... Significant work went into creating this real world version of the 2013 model featured in Grand Theft Auto V.
Utilizing state-of-the-art fabrication technologies, molds for the
exterior were cut and machined piece-by-piece for the high performance
base vehicle. With these molds each panel was laid out by hand to create
an entirely new exterior resulting in a screen accurate reproduction of
the Banshee. The result is a one-of-kind supercar worthy of
representing the Banshee's heritage and a tribute to some of the deep
customization options you'll find in the Los Santos Customs shops of GTA V, where you can equip and style your vehicles with a wide range of visual and performance-based enhancements. GameStop offered the chance to win this one-of-a-kind vehicle as part of the PowerUp Rewards™ Epic Rewards Giveaway™ |

Chrysler almost smothered the Hellcat before it lived
Thu, 06 Nov 2014Chrysler's 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 was an absolute sensation from the very moment it was announced, and honestly, how could it not have been? Packing 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, its numbers immediately put every other production muscle car (and many supercars) to shame. Plus, we soon learned that would be wrapped in a package retailing for around $60,000 - a pittance compared to other vehicles offering similar grunt. However, the Hellcat almost never got the chance to rumble under the hood of the Challenger and Charger.
The Hellcat was initially proposed back in 2011, back when Fiat was deciding its future strategy for Chrysler Group, according to Automotive News. At the time, the company was just emerging from its bankruptcy doldrums, and an ultra-high-performance V8 wasn't exactly a must-have item. The program didn't move forward. However, SRT engineers kept fighting, according to AN, and four months later, they received the green light to pull the project off the shelf and continue developing the Hellcat. The muscle car world is certainly better for that decision.
The work of those engineers focused on taking Chrysler's standard 6.2-liter V8 and making it reliably handle all of the extra power from the supercharger. "It came down to micron levels of changes in the crank to be able to withstand the pressures of the engine," said Chris Cowland, director of advanced and SRT powertrain, to Automotive News. The changes amounted to switching out about 91 percent of the parts to make the Hellcat, including some quite minuscule alterations. For example, the washer holding the supercharger pulley is embedded with industrial diamonds to keep it from slipping.
I sold my Viper, but the memories I'll keep
Thu, 30 May 2013The following is written by auto industry veteran Tow Kowaleski. The words are his own, but the memories now belong to everyone thanks to his willingness to share. If you're an industry veteran with a story to share, contact us at tipsATautoblogDOTcom.
It became the flame that started the fire of belief in the next life of Chrysler.
I just sold a car. Nothing new. Millions do it every day. But my car was a 1995 Dodge Viper, so maybe it was a bit more unique since just 12,000 were built. And like others selling a car that's been a part of the family for close to 20 years, this was a confluence of emotions for me. I was sad to see it go, but happy to have the cash and one less big, shiny, under-utilized object in my life.
Saleen SA-30 Mustang, Camaro and Challenger help celebrate the big 3-0
Fri, 22 Nov 2013After 30 years of tuning performance cars and building racecars, Saleen is celebrating its racing heritage with a limited-production car line called SA-30. Based on the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, Saleen will only build 10 of each SA-30 model at a base price of $95,000.
For that money, buyers will get upgraded suspension, brakes and engines, and while the power figures have not been released for the SA-30 620 Camaro and SA-30570 Challenger models, the SA-30 302 Mustang will be the top performer with 625 horsepower. Each car will be painted up in a custom pearl white hue with black and yellow accents, and get white wheels shrouding yellow powder-coated brake calipers. Inside, the SA-30 offerings will all get a proper Saleen interior with black leather and white Alcantara on the seats, along with the expected smattering of SA-30 badges.
On all three SA-30 models, customers will have various options available to further customize their cars, including a rear-seat delete option that transforms each car's cabin into a race-inspired interior with a chassis-strengthening rear cross brace. Perhaps the coolest feature of all, though, is the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass that is an option on the SA-30 302 Mustang. Similar to the Mercedes Sky Control roof first introduced on the Mercedes SLK, the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass allows the Mustang's optional glass roof and rear window to be switched from transparent to opaque at the push of a button.
