Overview

The Viper was like nothing else on the road when it deputed in 1992.  It had just 2 seats, side exhaust pipes, no outside door handles, no windows, no traction control, and no apologizes.  Dodge had worked with the great Carroll Shelby to create this monster.  It had a new 8.0 liter V10 engine mated with a 6-speed manual transmission.  The first generation, 1992-1994, was not the best of years for the Viper.  With steadily increasing production numbers, with the most being built in 1994 with 2,890.  1994 was also the first year that Air Condition was an option.  Despite the low production numbers, the Viper was a hit with customers.  It is still being produced today, but the 1st generation cars are more sought after now than when they first came out. 

The car available here is your chance to get a brand new 1994 Dodge Viper.  With only 507 original miles on this car, it isn’t even broken in yet.  It even still wears its original tires.  You will not find a better example of the 1st generation Viper.  If you’re a collector this is a must have or if you’re somebody that dreamed of having one when they first came out, this is your chance.  It is like buying one brand new in 1994.  This is a one owner car that was only used a few times a year for parades and simple joy drives.  It was always garaged kept and never saw rain. 

Exterior

As you can imagine the exterior on this car is amazing.  If there are any flaws, they came from the factory.  The paint is spectacular, no scratches, dents, or chips to speak of.  The doors, hood, and trunk all shut firmly and have good gaps.    

Interior

The interior is perfect.  The car was garaged kept and cared for, so there is no fading or discoloration on the interior plastics or leather.  The radio works great, all gauges work, and all lights work.  The soft top and side curtains have never been on the car, nor as the tonneau cover.  The tonneau cover is still in the plastic from the factory.  The top and side curtains are in the travel bags still as well.  The side curtain windows are clear and show no sign of discoloration.  All the bows for the top are also in the big with the top itself.

Mechanicals

The car runs flawlessly.  We have not driven it but a few miles, due to its extremely low mileage.  We do not want to add any more miles than needed.  Unfortunately we have not service records for any maintenance, but all the fluids are clean and full.  We would recommend a full service and for sure new tires if you plan in driving the car regularly.  The tires do not seem to be flat spotted or out of round, since it was used on a yearly basis, but given they are original to the car their age would be an issue if used regularly.    

Literature and Extras

Every book, manual, and even the VHS tape that came with the car showing how to operate the hood, install the side curtains, rear glass, top, and tonneau cover. The car also come with a factory service manual in a Viper hard case binder.  The spare keys, which are still in the plastic pouch.  We also have the original window sticker and delivery paperwork for this car.  The spare tire and all the accessories are in the trunk. 

Conclusion

You are not going to find a better example of the 1st Generation Viper.  It is a time capsule that can’t be replicated.  The Viper is a rare case where they are collectible while they are still in production.  This is your chance to own a new 1994 Viper RT/10, just 10 years later.

2020 Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody, Scat Pack Widebody get grip, go faster

Thu, Jun 27 2019

You all knew this was coming. Dodge basically showed it to the public a few months ago. But it's finally official, the 2020 Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody and naturally aspirated Scat Pack Widebody are going into production. Like the Challenger Widebody, the Charger version is defined by its, well, wide body, which is now standard on all Hellcats and an option on Scat Packs. The fender flares add a total of 3.5 inches of width. Dodge also tweaked the front and rear bumpers and added wider side skirts to help the flares blend into the body. The Hellcat gets a unique rear spoiler, whereas the Scat Pack sticks with the same one its scrawnier twin uses. 2020 Dodge Charger Scat Pack Widebody View 20 Photos But the big advantage to this wide body is the fact Dodge can stick way more tire under the Charger. All Charger Widebody models get 11-inch-wide wheels with 305-mm tires at all four corners. Each version gets revised suspension, too. The Hellcat gets stiffer front springs, thicker front and rear anti-roll bars and retuned shocks. The Scat Pack gets a similar update, but without the thicker front anti-roll bars. Both cars also get six-piston front brake calipers from Brembo with two-piece rotors. All these handling upgrades mean the Charger is an even more impressive track machine. Dodge says the Hellcat now pulls 0.96g on a skid pad, and the Scat Pack Widebody does a little better at 0.98g. The Hellcat has also improved its lap time of Chrysler's 2.1-mile test course by 2.1 seconds, and the Scat Pack improved by 1.3 seconds. Both cars are also still fast in a straight line, with Dodge saying the Hellcat will hit 60 mph in 3.6 seconds on the way to a 10.96 quarter-mile time. Which, Dodge proclaims, makes it the world's most powerful and fastest mass-produced sedan. The Scat Pack Widebody will hit 60 in 4.3 seconds on the way to a 12.4-second quarter-mile.

FCA UConnect fiasco could set over-the-air updates back years

Fri, Feb 16 2018

Since cars have become more software dependent, most major automakers have been inching toward enabling over-the-air updates to keep vehicle electronics, ranging from infotainment systems to safety features, current. But there are only two car companies — Fiat Chrysler and Ford —± currently doing OTA updates, and on a limited basis. GM CEO Mary Barra announced last summer that the automaker will launch a new EV architecture and infotainment system capable of over-the-air updates "before 2020." The one exception, per usual, is Tesla. Since the release of the Model S almost six years ago, the maverick EV automaker has made routine OTA software updates a core part of its vehicle platforms and value proposition, and has sent out updates for everything from adjusting ride height to enabling Autopilot, largely without incident. When I've asked automakers why they can't do the same thing, I've heard reasons ranging from running afoul of their dealers (and archiac regulation) to security concerns. Automakers like Ford and General Motors say they want to act like tech companies, which routinely send out OTA updates for a wide range of devices, but overall the car industry still moves at a very cautious snail's pace. And when automakers do try to move faster and take more risks — unlike with a smartphone update, which people bitch about but live with — the consequences can be significant when things go wrong. That's the case with Fiat Chrysler America and its recent public-relations nightmare when an OTA update went awry. The update went out at the end of last week for the Uconnect system in late-model vehicles, and it made head units go into a near continuous reboot, which caused owners to not only lose access to entertainment features, but also critical functions like emergency assistance. Almost immediately, owners took to Twitter to express outrage, and FCA was caught flatfooted. A tweet went out on Monday on the UconnectCares Twitter account that read, "Certain 2017 & 2018 Uconnect systems may experience a reboot every 45-60 seconds. Our Engineering teams are investigating the cause and working towards a resolution.

2013 Dodge Durango R/T

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Not too long ago, Chevrolet got itself into some trouble by throwing the SS badge on just about everything it produced, so I've always been a little hesitant about the seemingly excessive use of the R/T nameplate on Dodge vehicles. For the 2013 model year, every model in Dodge's lineup has an R/T trim level from Dart all the way up to the Durango. Although the R/T name used to signified models made for road and track, I doubt anyone would be delusional enough to assume the Durango - and some of the other models wearing this badge - are suited for any sort of track duty.
Still, when this 2013 Dodge Durango R/T rolled up for me to drive for the week, I couldn't help but take in its big, mean and imposing stance. Sure, if I had my choice of buying any of the Dodge R/T products, the Charger and Challenger would be my top picks for sure, but it's easy to say that the Durango would be a close third - far above the R/T versions of the Avenger, Journey and Grand Caravan.
