All-disc antilock brakes are new for 2001 on Dodge’s high-performance, retro-styled RT/10 convertible. Dodge
also added Viper Race Yellow for 2001 so this vehicle will be perfect for the discerning collector. Because Vipers
still draw attention, despite being over 2 decades old, collector demand is a consideration when buying. More than
20,000 Vipers have been sold since the snorting rear-drive two-seater debuted as a 1992 model.
No other sports car on the market in 2001 was on par with the Viper, a throwback to the era of all-out muscle
machines, whose V-10 engine cranks out no less than 450 horsepower. In fact, no other production car used a V-10
engine in 2001. The engine catapults you from 0-60 in under 4 seconds and melts the ¼ mile in 12.2 seconds.
Exterior
Designed to bring back memories of the Shelby Cobras seen on American roads and racetracks back in the 1960s, the
Viper ranks as an exercise in excess but one that’s basically simple in styling. Both the convertible and coupe
share such design features as a bold crossbar grille, huge side scoops in the front fenders and a long, wide hood.
This vehicle has the optional removable hardtop, color matched of course. This viper rides on new 275/35ZR18 front
and even bigger 335/30ZR18 rear tires mounted on custom color matched Forgeline VR-1 Wheels.
Interior
Two occupants sit in low reclining custom Italian leather yellow interior with black contrast stitching and Viper
logos by a reputable Viper community interior maker. The seats are now adjustable, unlike previous model years.
Standard equipment includes air conditioning, a tilt steering wheel, remote keyless entry, fog lights, a
theft-deterrent system, and power windows, locks and mirrors, overhead mesh storage pouches and a trunk light. The
vehicle has a professionally installed Alpine audio system with custom subwoofer in the factory location.
Under the Hood
A brawny 8.0-liter V-10 engine beneath the Viper’s hood puts out 450 hp and 490 pounds-feet of torque — the
kind of torque that seems ready to drag tree stumps out of the ground. It was the biggest, most powerful engine
offered in an American production automobile in 2001 and stands strong with production muscle cars even nearly 15
years later. A custom Borla exhaust is estimated to add approximately 20 HP bringing the total to a head smashing
470 HP. A six-speed-manual gearbox is the only available transmission.

Australian consumer activists destroy a Dodge Journey with a tank

Thu, Jun 30 2016

An Australian couple held an event where they crushed their unreliable and frustrating Dodge Journey with a retired army tank. According to Drive, Kate and Joe Masters owned an infuriating 2010 Dodge Journey that they claim was plagued by mechanical and electrical issues. After numerous failed attempts on their part to get the issues fixed by Fiat Chrysler and Dodge Australia, the couple decided that they'd had enough. Working with Queensland consumer advocate Ashton Wood, the Masters held an event where they smashed the Dodge with a sledgehammer and fired arrows at it. Finally, they rolled out a retired Centurion Mk.V tank and proceeded to crush the doomed Dodge monster truck-style. Fiat Chrysler issued a statement refuting many of the Masters' claims about both its vehicle and the steps taken to remedy the situation. The company claims that the vehicle was serviced outside of its dealer network and that the Masters did not work through established consumer complaint channels established by the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. "We had attempted to work proactively with this customer, offering free service work and free genuine parts after their warranty had expired," FCA said in a statement. "While Dodge Australia was keen to resolve this issue, we weren't in the position to issue the demanded refund of $43,000 for a vehicle purchased in 2011, that was driven for more than 100,000 kilometers (62,137 miles) and that has no known manufacturing defects, nor had any evidence provided by the owners to substantiate these claims. Queensland senator Glenn Lazarus, who was involved with the tank event, stated that Australian motorists need better consumer protections against automotive dealerships and manufacturers. "Countries around the world have successfully implemented lemon laws to provide consumers with protection and I believe it's about time we did the same in Australia," he said. Destroying cars in a public act of frustration is nothing new. In China, a Lamborghini Gallardo owner smashed his luxury ride with a sledgehammer after he felt he wasn't given a premium experience at the dealership.

2015 Dodge Viper price drops $15k for 2015

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

We recently saw updated specs and new trims of the 2015 Viper, but it looks like the folks at Dodge were saving the biggest surprise for last. Prices on all levels of the American sports car are seeing an immediate, across-the-board price cut of $15,000; even 2014 models still remaining on dealer lots.
The new MSRP for the 2015 Viper in its base SRT trim now starts at $84,995, and when the TA and GTS come to the lineup later next year, they start at $100,995 and $107,995, respectively. The move seems like a swing for the fences that might help to quell slow sales.
Obviously, current Viper owners might be somewhat peeved that their investment was just re-priced by the company. However, to assuage some of their concerns, Dodge is giving all fifth-gen owners a certificate worth $15,000 towards the purchase of a new one, which comes in addition to the price reduction.

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.
