Dyno Results of this Viper:                              http://www.btrviper.com/2nitrous.jpg

NOTES:  Dyno Numbers are at the REAR WHEELS.  For Dodge Vipers and other typical Manual Transmission 2 wheel drive cars, the conversion factor from RWHP (Rear Wheel Horse Power) to BHP (Flywheel Horse Power as used by Manufacturers) is 15% to compensate for the horsepower and torque loss through the drivetrain to the wheels.  For reference here are the numbers.......(dyno sheets attached)

A Stock 1997 Viper GTS made 450 BHP @ 500 Torque

This Viper without Nitrous as modified makes:  579 BHP @ 592 Torque (Thats 504/515 RWHP & TORQUE x 1.15)

This Viper With Nitrous as modified makes:  888 BHP @ 1,085 Torque! (Thats 771/944 RWHP & TORQUE x 1.15)

The reason that this incredibly fast Viper is so docile and daily drivable is because I never tried to interfere or adjust the factory ECU program and mapping.  All of the performance gains were made using methods that do not involve any “tuning” or tricking of the proprietary Chrysler ECU which has proven to be difficult at best.  This Viper uses cylinder head flow, camshaft design and nitrous jetting to achieve the perfect tune for utmost in power and torque gains.  Without using nitrous this Viper runs low 11’s at @ 125 MPH and has a very nice idle and drives like stock.  When using nitrous this Viper is extremely quick and runs 150 MPH in the 1/4 mile and has run a 9 second E.T. at every drag strip we have put it on.  This Viper has been a best of 9.62 E.T. (Houston Raceway Park) and has won several Viper Drag Racing Competitions.  Please look us up on Dragtimes.com.

All of the factory equipment on this Viper WORKS.  The power windows, power door locks, CD/Stereo, Air Conditioning, Seat functions, all gauges, all lights, everything!  Interior is in excellent condition with no cuts, tears or scratches.  The only modifications to the interior were fitment clearances for the Roll Bar Installation.  The Roll Bar in no way interferes with seat movement or viewing to the outside of the vehicle.

 

Included with this rare Viper is ALL of the factory stock components that were removed to accommodate the performance upgrades.  The paint, Interior, Wheels, Engine and Drivetrain are all original and Numbers Matching to this Viper.

 

I have owned this Viper since 1998.  It is a true Supercar, mild mannered at all times until you ask it to perform, then it becomes THE Superman of Vipers!  Check my feedback and bid with confidence!

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.

2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad soldiers on in the Chi

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

Introduced to the market in 2008 and updated in 2011, the Dodge Journey crossover has had all the freshness of a retirement village in recent years. Filling a potentially important niche for Dodge as an affordable, family-sized vehicle, the Journey has gotten one last mild refresh here in Chicago. Feast your mild-appearance-package-loving eyes on the 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad.
We can't be sure if the inspiration for the Crossroad appellation was the 2002 blockbuster film, Crossroads, starring Britney Spears, or the 1986 cult-classic, Crossroads, starring Ralph Macchio, but based on the CUV's newfound boyish charm, we're betting on the Karate Kid.
Dark finish 19-inch wheels, platinum chrome accents and a manly new front fascia tell the world that this isn't the Dodge Journey that they've long since forgotten about. In fairness, the Crossroad is easily the best-looking iteration of the Journey to date, and should be better to live with, too, considering its revised cabin, leather seats and standard Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system.

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.
