A few years ago, I wanted to buy a fun car, like an STI, or Lancer Evolution, but I just didn't want to pay $20k minimum for something decent.  That's when I looked into the SRT 4.  I found that I could get way less milage, and a way faster car, for THOUSANDS less!  I found a rich guy in Florida who purchased the car at 50k miles and had it built into the monster that it is today, then decided to get into building a new truck so he sold the SRT to me.  I bought it with 58k miles and drove it up to Virginia.  In the past three years I've put on only 13,000 miles.  The fact is, I have two kids, want a third, and I want to cash out to pay off some debt.  That's the only reason.  I will truly be sore for years about selling this car and my son will be mad at me one day when he figures out that I sold out the car that could have been his.  The car runs and drives more than great, which brings me to the description of the goods about this car.


CLEAN TITLE.  The car was professionally built and tuned to 455 Horsepower to the wheels.  This process began with all new, bullet proof internals in the head of the engine to handle the larger amount of boost from the upgraded Borg Warner S256 70mm Turbo.  Right now the 455 whp is on a conservative tune of 23 lbs. of boost on pump gas.  The car can handle that power like it's nothing because the car was built to handle 30+ lbs. of boost and has a tune option for race gas (The care has never gone there, and I have never wanted to go there...the car is scary fast as it is).  

I didn't do the upgrades myself and I can't remember everything that was done.  The list below covers most of the upgrades and if you are interested in the part specifics, send me a question and I'll get in touch with the previous owner to find out for you.

Borg Warner S256 70mm Turbo
Big front mount intercooler
Diablo Sport Predator Tune (Comes with handheld computer programmer)
3" Full exhaust system and downpipe with a Magnaflow muffler out to dual 3" pipes.
AGP Wastegate
AGP fuel pressure regulator
Blow off valve that sounds amazing (Can't remember the brand)
Hard pipes to the intercooler
Solid motor mounts
HP Design 18 inch wheels
Brand new Nitto NT05 tires (Look em up, they're what you want.)
Carbon Fiber Hood and Trunk
6k HID headlights AND fog lights
Roll bars welded in
Turbo Timer
Upgraded Fuel Injectors
Short thow shifter
ACT Organic Disc clutch (Rated for over 500 hp and has a very smooth engagement.  Not harsh like a puck disc.  Nice and smooth, even for daily driving with traffic.)
WOT Box (Allows for shifting while at wide open throttle and maintaining boost - I didn't use this feature, but if you're racing and you have the balls for it, it's there)
Launch Control system (I have never launched the car)
Upgraded Engine internals including Brian Crower 18 cams
Cam gears
Eibach Lowing springs
An air fuel ratio gauge
An Aeroforce Interceptor gauge with dual display ($400) that gives you real time data on anything you want to know like horsepower output, knock retard, transmission temp., etc.
4 inch wide JMB cold air intake with a K&N filter
MSD Spark Plug Wires
Aftermarket taillights
Smaller race battery
Sale includes a straight pipe to replace exhaust with if you're going to race (I've never used it).

There's more that I'm sure I'm missing.  Overall, the car has $14,000 in part upgrades resulting in a ridiculously awesome car that will embarrass just about any car you can find on the road.
Now I want to be honest and clear about how this car has been used.  It was stock until somewhere after 50k miles when it was professionally built.  When completed, the builder took it to the drag strip to test it out.  He recorded a quarter mile time of 11.8 seconds.  He posted the video on youtube.com which you can watch at this link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aleuhPeqRTg.  

Two months later, I purchased the car.  I'm almost thirty years old.  I have never ever ever been to a race track/drag strip with this car, nor have I ever gone out "racing" in it.  I have never raced from a dig (starting from being completely stopped).  Occasionally, honestly hardly ever given that I usually have kids in the car and there's always traffic, someone on the freeway wants to see what I've got so I'll pull in one gear and then let off.  I've seen the dyno screen of the power and I know the car delivers monster power up to 7400 rpms, but I've never past 6500 or so - you'll know why when you drive it.  Again, the car was built to handle this kind of power and the best part is, if you treat it nicely as I have, it's going to be an awesome reliable car.  I've had no reliablility issues with it at all.  When I was buying the car, I was worried about buying a modded car.  The builder explained to me that so much had been replaced with stronger, better parts, that I was really getting a more dependable car with a longer life than a stock one.  After three years, I can tell you, he was right.  The only thing I've had to do mechanically besides maintaing it (I do mobile 1 synthetic oil changes), was change the clutch disc.  The funny part about that, was that I changed it because I thought the clutch was slipping at the top end of first and second gear....turns out, I was just spinning my tires =0 So I didn't need the disc replaced, but replaced it is anyway.  Now I have the better NT05 tires on and wheel spin is greatly reduced.  The car is in excellent mechanical condition and I can think of nothing that needs replacing now, or even in the distant future.  

Not everything about the car is show ready, here are some not so good realities about this car: 
I have the car Plasti Dipped matte black which I had done by a local guy.  He didn't do a great job (there is some texture in the surface), I still like the look, but if you don't like it, you can just peel it off (google plasti dip or youtube it to learn more) and beneath it you have a the factory flame red paint job with carbon fiber hood and trunk. The trunk shows some early signs of clouding in the finish of the carbon fiber.
On the top part of the dash there is a vent that the plastic has broken out of.  It's a common problem in the SRT4, and doesn't bother me much and no one seems to notice.  You could replace the dash top for about $100 or make your own mesh vent cover or something.
The driver's side seat has some signs of wear that are VERY common in SRT4s, and mine aren't that bad.  There is one dime sized tear in the lower part of the seat, and some cracking in the upper right part of the seat.  Again, very common in all srt4 seats.  
You'll notice in the vehicle history report that there was a front end incident with a parked car.  When it was down in Florida, the previous owner was leaving a parking space and thought he had enough turning radius to get by...he didn't and scuffed the bumper.  New bumper, no problems, no signs that anything happend at all.  

That's all the bads.

The opportunity to own this car is too good to pass up.  If you want super car performance but don't have $75,000, this is it!  71k miles is low for SRT-4s and it's going to be a reliable, awesome car for years to come.  This one is like no other, you'll be VERY happy with it.

Cruise Woodward Avenue with Autoblog's Dodge Challenger Hellcat

Thu, Aug 20 2015

While Autoblog was consumed by coverage of the increasingly important Monterey Car Week last weekend, there was another big even going on. The Woodward Dream Cruise is significantly lighter in terms of news, but there's no denying that it's a far bigger, and far more egalitarian than what the wine-and-cheese crowd experience on the links at Pebble Beach. The Dream Cruise crams tens of thousands of cars and over a million spectators along a four-lane ribbon of asphalt between Ferndale and Pontiac, MI. What's remarkable aren't these numbers, though, so much as the distances they travel. Owners and admirers come from far and wide, across the United States and in some cases across the globe, to take in the spectacle. This year, local radio and television coverage featured fans that traveled from Japan, Australia, and Europe, just to take in the cruise. Of course, we realize that not everyone can make the pilgrimage to Woodward Avenue. With that fact in mind, we decided to bring a bit of the Dream Cruise to Autoblog with a time-lapse video of the cruise route. You can experience the good (a Lamborghini Gallardo, Chevrolet Chevelle, and Oldsmobile Cutlass 442), the bad (the traffic jams), and the ugly (no, your 2003 Ford Focus does not qualify as a classic, get the hell out of the cruiser lanes). So join us, as we turn off 8 Mile Road behind the wheel of our 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and run north, through Ferndale, Pleasant Ridge, Royal Oak, Huntington Woods, Berkley, Bloomfield Township, and Bloomfield Hills, before ending up on Wide Track Drive in Pontiac.

2013-14 Dodge Viper recalled over faulty door handles

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The 2013-14 Dodge Viper is getting a voluntary recall affecting 1,762 cars worldwide to replace their door-handle assemblies. Of the affected vehicles, FCA US reports there are 1,451 in the US, 160 in Canada, 17 in Mexico and 59 of them outside of NAFTA. After receiving three reports of doors either not closing or opening while driving a low speeds, FCA US engineers found a new sealant from a supplier didn't provide sufficient moisture protection to the electronic switches for the door latches. If the parts get wet, this can potentially cause a short circuit. The automaker is quite clear that are no reports of accidents of injuries from this problem. As always, the recall repairs will be done at no cost to owners, and FCA US will be getting in touch with customers soon about the problem. Related Video: Statement: Door-handle Assemblies April 9, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 1,762 cars globally to replace their door-handle assemblies. FCA US launched an investigation after the Company received three warranty claims linked to doors that failed to close or opened inadvertently while vehicles were moving at low speed. The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. Engineers determined a sealant, newly adopted by a supplier, provided inconsistent moisture protection to the electronic switches that control the door latches. Switches exposed to moisture may short-circuit. Affected are approximately 1,451 model-year 2013-14 Dodge Viper SRT cars in the U.S.; 160 in Canada; 17 in Mexico and 59 outside the NAFTA region. Affected customers will be notified and advised when they may schedule service, which will be performed at no cost. Customers with questions may call the FCA US Customer Information Center at 1-800-853-1403.
