1998 Dodge Viper Gts on 2040-cars
Erie, Colorado, United States
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED EMAIL ME AT: bartbccronenberg@watfordfans.com . 1998 Dodge Viper GTS Coupe. Silver with Blue stripes. One of a kind Turbo Viper. I am the second owner, this car
was bought brand new by the guy I bought it from. He is a 75 year old dentist and took amazing care of this car.
When the car had roughly 30,000 miles on it he sent it to Super Viper Systems inc. in Chicago Illinois to perform
the transformation. SVS is now closed but before the old man retired they were the premier Viper builder in the
country. Look them up they are well known and thought of in the viper community. The car is now a 1000hp beast of a
super car. Will do well over 200 and handle it with ease. Has Motec traction control and is so easy to drive. I
will include a video link below.Here is a breakdown of what has been done:
Trans:
The trans was sent to John Denato to be rebuilt in order to handle the new power the engine would produce. If you
don't know who John Denato is just google him. He is the man to go to when it comes to Viper transmissions. The
trans is more then capable of handling the 1000+ hp. A Kevlar clutch and Billet Aluminum flywheel were also
installed. Trans cooler and remote trans oil pump were also installed. At high speeds the g forces pull all the oil
to the back of the trans which starves the front bearing. There is a switch on the console that activates the
remote trans oil pump and recircs the trans oil to the front bearing for periods of sustained high speed driving.
Everything on this car was made to be driven at 200+ and handle it!!
Engine:
The engine was torn down and completely machined and the block was O ringed. Balanced and blue printed with 8.4 JE
pistons Custom big valve aluminum heads, T&D Rockers, Comp cam w/ roller lifters, Individual coil packs per
cylinder. Accusump oil system. Squires rear mount turbo system was installed with its own oil pump and
intercooler. 4 core aluminum radiator with dual fans. Custom made headers from SVS that are plumbed to the turbo
and then to a custom single exit center rear exhaust that sounds absolutely amazing. Videos can not do the sound
justice. This car turns EVERY head when it goes by. Sounds like a pissed off indy car :) The engine is controlled
by a MoTec management system complete with traction control and flex fuel system. Car is currently tuned to run on
E85 at 12 psi of boost. There is a knob on the dash that has additional tunes and boost levels loaded in. The car
is still tuned for sea level so it is running a bit rich at the elevation here in Colorado. The engine is capable
of handling plenty more boost on race fuel but this thing is already a monster at 12psi. It is putting around 840hp
to the wheels on this set up.
Brakes:
The brakes were also upgraded. Up front there is 8 piston Brembo big brake kit complete with stainless brake lines.
Suspension:
KW clubsport coilover suspension was installed. The car was corner balanced and the coilovers were all custom
tuned accordingly. Again everything on this car was built to do 200+ and handle it.
Rear:
3:55 Gears. 1000hp half shafts. Drive shaft loop. Half shaft loops.
Misc:
BBS 3 piece 18"wheels ( Right rear wheel has some curb rash on the lip)
Brand new Hoosier R7 Road racing tires. Super sticky!!!
Carbon fiber cowl
Shroth 5 point harness'
Shift light
Boost gauge
The list is endless on this car. There is over 200k that went into the build of this car and it shows. I am sure I
have forgotten some things. This car is absolutely amazing and built very well. One look at this car and its
condition and it is obvious this car has never been raced or beaten on. This is not your typical car that someone
just threw a turbo on and cranked up the boost. This car was built with NO expense spared and the list above proves
that. I can not stress how nice the fit and finish is on this car. This thing idles through town with great street
manners but when you put your foot down hold on!!! This thing is a time machine!!! By far the fastest Viper I have
driven. The Motec traction control works flawlessly and is amazing, you can easily put your wife behind the wheel
with no worries The sound this thing makes is intoxicating and must be heard in person to be appreciated. I have
some documentation on the build but not all of it. However I do have contact info for the guys that built it as
well as the original owner who commissioned the build. The buyer will get all this info with the car.

Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot boards meet to finalize merger
Tue, Dec 17 2019MILAN/PARIS — The boards of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Peugeot will meet separately on Tuesday to discuss finalizing an initial agreement for a $50 billion merger to create the world's number four carmaker, sources said. A source close to FCA said the two companies could announce the signing of a binding memorandum early on Wednesday, followed by a conference call to explain further details later in the day. The two mid-sized carmakers announced plans six weeks ago for a tie-up to help them deal with big challenges in the industry, including a global demand downturn and the need to develop costly cleaner cars to meet looming anti-pollution rules. Ahead of the meetings, entities representing the Peugeot family, Etablissements Peugeot Freres (EPF) and FFP, unanimously approved a proposed memorandum of understanding for the planned merger, a source familiar with the situation said. FCA and PSA have said they would seek to finalize a deal by year-end to create a group with 8.7 million in annual vehicle sales. That would put it fourth globally behind Volkswagen, Toyota and the Renault-Nissan alliance. PSA's Carlos Tavares will be chief executive and FCA's John Elkann — the scion of Italy's Agnelli family, which controls FCA through their holding company Exor — chairman of the combined company. The group will include the Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Peugeot, DS, Opel and Vauxhall brands, allowing it to serve mass and premium passenger car markets as well as those for trucks and light commercial vehicles.

Fiat Chrysler to get $105M fine from NHTSA for recall woes
Sun, Jul 26 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to send a powerful message to automakers doing business in the United States, assuming reports of an upcoming $105 million fine against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles comes to fruition. In addition to the record-setting monetary fine, according to The Wall Street Journal, FCA will have to accept an independent auditor that will monitor the company's recall and safety processes and will be forced to buy back certain recalled vehicles. In other cases, such as with Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models with gas tanks that could potentially catch fire in certain types of accidents, FCA will offer financial encouragement for owners to get their recall work done or to trade those older vehicles in on new cars, according to the report. FCA could reportedly reduce its fines if it meets certain conditions, though those remain unclear at this time. These actions against FCA are being taken after NHTSA began a probe into the automaker over almost two dozen separate instances where the government claims FCA failed to follow proper procedures for recalls and safety defects. Included in those safety lapses are more than 11 million vehicles currently in customer hands. These penalties and fines are separate from the investigation over security problems with Chrysler's Uconnect system that allowed hackers to obtain remote access into key vehicle systems in 1.4 million vehicles.

Is Mopar readying a special-edition Dart for Chicago?
Sat, 26 Jan 2013Chrysler has released the above teaser of a limited-edition Mopar 2013 model that will be unveiled at next month's Chicago Auto Show. Although the automaker doesn't announce what vehicle will get the Mopar treatment, closer investigation of the seats and center console suggest that this car will be a special version of the 2013 Dodge Dart.
This will be the fourth Mopar model in as many years, following on the heels of the Mopar 2010 Challenger, Mopar 2011 Charger and the Mopar '2012 300. There are no details for the Mopar '13 Dart, but we do see that the car will retain the signature black-and-blue color scheme as past Mopar editions. Like these previous models, we expect production of Mopar '13 Dart to be limited to just 500 units.
Scroll down for Chrysler's press release teasing the new Mopar model, and we'll be sure to bring you plenty of live images from the show floor in a couple weeks.
