                                  VIPER GTS


Not just because this is my car but this has to be one of the hottest 08 vipers out there. The previous owner made some subtle changes that set this car apart from the crowd. These changes are both cosmetic and mechanical.


My favorite is taking the stock viper wheels having them powder coated black and then painting the thin silver line around the edges. Along with the silver viper emblem on the wheel  this ties in well with the black and silver scheme from the factory. Eibach springs have been added that allow the viper to lower another 11/2" again changing the rake and look of this beautiful car.


Mechanically this viper is bone stock other then the exhaust system which has an absolute awesome deep aggressive sound. The drone that these cars put out is non existent. The 02 sensors are still in place. This viper runs as you would expect a 9,000 mile car to run. The brakes function as new and the steering and cornering are absolutely awesome (enhanced by the eibach springs) There are no funny noises or lights on dash. No issues.


The interior is also stock other then having center dash bezel painted gloss black and a few other little decorative items. The dash lights have a deep blue glow to them which I think is another addition. The seats carpeting and dash have little to no wear


This car is a step above the crowd. It has a look superior to most others and a stance that exudes aggressiveness. Like most vipers it lives in a climate controlled garage and has never seen rain or snow. I won't tell you that I have not driven this car hard but nothing even close to the limits this viper was built to handle. I don't believe it has ever been tracked. This car is ready to drive across country if need be. It has a clean carfax no accidents or issues. that will be provided to new owner.


I have a reason for selling this viper that has nothing to do with needing to or wanting to. but non the less I am. Interesting viper trades up or down will be entertained and also mopar muscle cars mid to late 60's and early 70's. Any questions or offers? Thanks Bill 636 219 7298.


This car  is listed locally so I reserve the right to end auction early. This viper is being sold where is as is and no warranties have been written expressed or implied. While shipping is responsibility of purchaser I will assist as needed including picking you up from the St Louis airport if you wanted to fly in and drive home. Will store this car inside for up to three weeks after auction ends unless other arrangements have been made. The reserve is more then fair as I intend on selling this car.

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.

Dodge Charger Hellcat hitting 60 in 2.9 seconds on drag radials?

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

The Dodge boys and their cousins from SRT have shoehorned the same 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged V8 into both the Dodge Challenger and Charger. The former being a two-door, it's lighter than the latter four-door sedan. So it would stand to reason that the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would be the quicker of the two, right?
Only that's not necessarily proving to be the case. On stock rubber, yes, the coupe beats the sedan: Dodge quotes a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds for the Charger SRT Hellcat and 3.5 for the Challenger. Same gap across the quarter-mile: 11 seconds flat for the Charger versus 10.8 seconds for the Challenger. But according to recent reports, the story changes when you put both on drag radials.
While visiting Chrysler HQ in Auburn Hills, MI, TorqueNews.com caught wind of performance figures for the Charger Hellcat on drag tires: 0-60 in a mind-blowing 2.9 seconds and a quarter-mile in just 10.7. The latter figure just barely pips the Hellcat-powered Challenger's NHRA-certified figure of 10.8, making the Charger not only the fastest sedan on the market, but also the fastest muscle car. What isn't immediately clear, however, is whether the drag radials in question have any tread on them and are street-legal, or if they're pure slicks confined to a closed strip.

25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
