More details at: deloisedppetanick@wackyracers.net . This car is as perfect as they come. It's never been in any accidents or had any need for any mechanical work other
then normal maintenance.
I have owned this car since 2011 when I bought it from an owner of a car dealership here in Kansas City. I myself
am a manager at a major Dodge dealer here in KC as well. This car has been handled with kids gloves since day one,
it's had a few owners, but that's how these investment cars work. Let me first give you a history of why I bought
this specific car. As part of the Viper Club of America I had heard too many stories of guys who buy these cars
with a thousand miles on them and they take them out and they start leaking from everywhere! I specifically chose
this car because it had 27,000 miles on it when I got it, and what this means is that the owners drove this car
about 2500 miles a year. This is important because these cars need to be driven, not just sit, that is extremely
hard on these cars! If you look at the vehicle history report above, you will see the miles are exactly as you want
to see them over the years. It only scores low on their scale because of the number of times it's been registered,
but again, this is an investment car. So, I've put about 2000 miles a year on it since I got it. As Jay Leno says,
"We are caretakers of these cars for the next owner", and that's what I always do, they are better when they leave
me, then when I got them. This Viper doesn't leak a drop of anything, and never has!
The oil has been changed every 3000 miles on the dot with full synthetic. The air has always blown cold. There has
never been one mechanical issue with this car, nor a single check engine light. The car is completely unmolested,
other then two items I'm aware of, the stereo was replaced with a touch screen DVD fold out (A good thing) and the
inlets for the cold air intake were switched over to smooth tubes, which is a no-brainer on these cars, and could
be put back in five minutes if desired. Nothing but 91 octane has ever been used for fuel. The only thing I've ever
replaced with an OE part was a window switch, it was a little sticky, and as I mentioned I am a manager at a Dodge
dealer and we have a certified Viper tech who put it in. At the same time I had him go ahead and change all fluids
including a complete coolant flush.
Now the paint... This car is one of only 280 black GTS's ever built! This is the other reason I bought this car,
it's my color. Now here are the rules that go with the car, just as they were handed down to me. The car is only
washed as a last ditch effort, with no other choice. (It has been washed by me three times in four years.) Now,
what you do is blow off any dust with a leaf blower first, very important at any time before touching the paint
with anything! Then you pre-soak the car before allowing soap to drop down on the car from above. Now you never,
ever use a rag, a sponge or anything other then your bare hands on the paint while washing. Lots of soap dropped
from above and then run your bare hands over the whole car, and feeling for any dirt spots as well. Now, the car is
rinsed with distilled water only! This is to make sure no hard water remains on it. After this you dry it with a
blow dryer! I take it to a local very nice car wash that has the hand held dryers, in no way do you run rags down
this paint. After all is said and done the only thing that ever touches the car is your bare hands. Now when
removing the car from the garage for a drive, just as before use a leaf blower to blow off the dust first, very
important, then use nothing but very thick microfiber towels to just brush off the dust, you never push down!
So you might wonder why I take the time to write out how to wash a car, but this is the reason this fifteen year
old black paint looks brand new! It's literally a one foot car, which means you have to be about one foot to see
anything other then a glass surface! There are no chips in the nose, there are no bug marks, there is no paint fade
on the exhaust covers, or anywhere else. Now I'm not going to get into waxes because everyone always has their own
opinion, but I will tell you this car has had absolutely no paste waxes or oxidation removers, only high dollar
liquids specific for black cars such as Maguires and only special cleaners such as Winners Touch I've only ever
seen available through our dealership. Also the headlights are perfectly clear with no cloudiness at all, you still
see the rainbow in the lenses!
It has BF-Goodwrench G-Force Super Sport fronts, and Nitto NT555R Drag Radials out back with less then a thousand
miles on all four. The originals were just getting weather checked so I replaced them.
I don't need to sell the car, I'm only putting it out there in case I want to look for something else. I own other
investment cars as well, and many more different collector cars over the years. So I own them, enjoy them and care
for them, then move on to something else.
If the car doesn't sell here, I'm considering putting it on our showroom floor and marking it up and putting it in
our inventory which would open it up to a much larger audience, I just don't like little fingerprints! lol...
So if you want a showroom quality investment grade black Viper GTS then this is the one to have. The last true
supercar without all that driver assist crap!

2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon First Drive | Don’t fear the Demon
Wed, Jul 19 2017"If you're not hurt, we'll be really pissed. If you are hurt, we'll still be pissed, but not quite as pissed." These are the words from Jim Wilder, the vehicle development manager of the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, that echo through our head as we slide behind the wheel of the car for the first time. He was warning us about driving beyond our abilities, and keeping the car out of the wall. With 840 horsepower and 770 pound-feet of torque on tap from its supercharged, 6.7-liter V8, the Demon does 0-60 miles per hour in 2.3 seconds, and 0-30 mph in a second flat. If something does go wrong, it'll happen quickly. Following that talk, we had our guts sloshed as a passenger in a blurry eighth-mile run, giving us a taste of the G forces (the Demon can pull 1.8 G in a straight line) we'd feel when we got in the driver's seat for our own pass down the drag strip. We're already sweating. It had rained - you could describe it as torrential - the day before. The grassy parking areas surrounding Lucas Oil Raceway were still flooded, but any water on the pavement had evaporated and hung in the air. Combined with the heat, we were sticky and uncomfortable. In Drag Mode, the Dodge Demon's air conditioning turns off. Any condensation that it could leave on the track would be a problem, plus we need to reduce parasitic power losses for a faster run. The system is still working, though, the refrigerant diverted to the chiller system cooling the air coming into the engine. There's still condensation, but the Demon collects it on a catch pad to keep it from ending up on the pavement. We're also required to roll the windows up when entering the drag strip. For one thing, it helps keep the smoke out of the cabin during the pre-staging burnout. So, yeah, it's hot as Hell in the Demon. We pull through the water box and run through the sequence – which involves holding the "OK" button on the steering wheel usually used to navigate menus, and applying a specific amount of brake pressure before getting on the throttle to initiate the burnout. This gets any crud off the rear tires and heats up the rubber. There are multiple ways to launch the Demon. We had an instructor sitting in the passenger seat as we pulled up to the beams that trigger the Christmas tree at Lucas Oil Raceway. He walks us through the most complicated of the three he had explained to us just minutes before when we were in the passenger seat.
Ram, Jeep redesigns on hold, Alfa Romeo models may come sooner
Wed, Jun 3 2015Last summer, FCA outlined an ambitious five-year plan that sketched out the company's product intentions for each of its brands through the end of 2018. However, even the best strategies sometimes need tweaking. According to Reuters after speaking with unnamed people at auto suppliers, FCA is now possibly delaying at least a dozen projects in North America for a variety of reasons. From vehicle to vehicle, these postponements allegedly last anywhere from just a few months to over a year. The sources from the suppliers claim that in some cases these tweaks are for engineering and design changes. The next-gen Ram 1500 reportedly has among the shorter delays and is being pushed from mid-2017 to November 2017, according to Reuters. Also, the much-discussed future Jeep Wrangler is allegedly moving a little later to July 2017. Among the vehicles purportedly seeing longer delays, the next-gen Grand Cherokee could get pushed back about a year to 2018. That then forces the launch of the three-row, luxury Grand Wagoneer to be even further away. Jeep's upcoming C-segment CUV and the all-new Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Challenger might also see postponements. The one brand allegedly seeing an accelerated plan is Alfa Romeo. Without going into detail, the sources from these suppliers claim that the Italian automaker is getting even more vehicles for its lineup and could get them even faster than planned. "Those plans need to be flexible and fluid, with the potential to add some vehicles, pull some forward and extend the life cycle of others," FCA said to Reuters about all of these allegations. "We look at these programs on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis." Investment in the auto industry has been a major topic for FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne as of late. He believes consolidation is necessary so that companies aren't burning money on the same projects.

High-performance 2018 Dodge Durango SRT spied
Fri, Sep 9 2016Dodge is working diligently on revamping its lineup with new and refreshed models, including the high-performance Durango SRT due in 2017. Spy shooters captured a Durango with an aggressive front end that appears to fit the SRT bill, though it could just be a refreshed Durango. This Citadel-badged prototype is nearly identical to the current three-row SUV. The front fascia, which is being held in place by tape and has numerous rough edges, features a massive vent at the bottom and a distinct, three-holed air intake system just below the grille. The grille is also lacking the Durango's cross-like design. The front end appears to have gaping holes on both sides, with the right side being covered up by tin foil. The extra vents could be there for aerodynamic purposes, for cooling purposes, or just a pair of fog lights that Dodge doesn't want people to see. The high-performance SUV is expected to get a full makeover on the outside, which includes sportier wheels, a more aggressive hood, athletic body panels, and some aerodynamic components. The meat of the SUV, the engine, is still a mystery. While the Hellcat brothers feature a 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged V8, a previous report by Automotive News claims the upcoming Durango SRT will be powered by a 6.4-liter V8 engine. The 475-horsepower motor is currently in the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT. Regardless of what type of engine the Durango will have, it looks like Dodge really is working on a high-performance SUV to enter the continually-growing segment.
