Offered for sale is my 1996 Dodge Viper GTS coupe. This is the very collectable car that Dodge built in 1996 to go
racing. This is the highly sought-after first year the coupe(also known as gen-2 Viper) was offered. Prior to 1996
only roadsters were offered. It is possibly one of the most original 1996 Vipers being offered for sale. It has not
been modified or altered in any way. If you're shopping for one of these cars you already know the specs; 488 cubic
inch aluminum V10 producing 450 horsepower and 490 ft-lbs of torque backed by a Borg Warner T56 6-speed
transmission with 5th and 6th gears as overdrive and putting all the power to the road with a Dana Super 44 rearend
and independent rear suspension. When Road & Track magazine tested a bone stock Viper GTS right off the showroom
floor in 1996 they achieved a top speed of 186 mph. Only 1166 of these 1996 second generation Vipers were ever
built.
I have owned this car since 2004. The current mileage is 27,950 miles. When I went shopping for a Viper in 2004 I
was looking for the most original car I could find, exactly as it was built by Chrysler 8 years earlier and even
then after only 8 years, original cars were hard to find. It never ceases to amaze me how so many owners can't
leave well enough alone and will change any part of the car that they can through their money at, engine,
drivetrain, shifter, exhaust, wheels, tires, not to mention installing every piece of cheap crappy simulated carbon
fiber panels on the interior they can get their hands on. Every modification reducing the originality and
collectability, and value of the car. This car has had several batteries over the course of it's life, oil changes
every spring, the rear tires were replaced once with original OEM Michelin Pilot Sport tires and I just replaced
the brakes front and rear. Even the brakes, I could have possibly achieved better braking from the aftermarket
drilled and slotted rotors but they would not be original to the car so I went with stock rotors. It includes
original owners manual and paperwork, original window sticker and all paperwork I ever got with the car.
The car is in excellent condition. Not perfect. I bought the car from the Southwest, AZ I believe. Since I have
owned it, it has never been stored outdoors, not even one night. It has never been rained on. I wash and dry it
once, maybe twice a year depending on the amount of brake dust that builds up and other than that it just gets
dusted off. It has some very minor, light speckling from road sand and debris on the front surfaces. The front
spoiler / valence has scratching and even a few small cracks at the bottom edge which can't be seen unless you lay
on your back. Keep in mind the bottom of the spoiler is only 2 3/4 inches above the road surface. The front spoiler
on this car will scrape. Sometimes it can't be avoided. It's just something you have to accept if you drive the
car. There are a couple small scratches and knicks that have been carefully touched-up and they would need to be
pointed out to be found. This car has never had a mechanical problem of any kind since I have owned it. I don't
believe it has ever been on a track, certainly not while I owned it the last 12 years. It's never had an accident,
never hit anything, never been apart. A stunning example of how the car was built.

This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome
Fri, Dec 5 2014The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years
Tue, 06 May 2014Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.

Jay Leno drives a 1970 Dodge Charger with 1,650 horsepower
Tue, Feb 23 2016When Jay Leno says a vehicle might have too much horsepower, he's got our attention piqued. That's exactly what he thinks about the 1970 Dodge Charger Tantrum from Wisconsin-based SpeedKore Performance. While it still looks like a classic muscle car, the front end now features a carbon fiber hood and fenders. Underneath the lightweight parts, there's a twin-turbo, 9.0-liter Mercury Marine offshore boat racing engine with an astonishing 1,650 horsepower, or an only slightly less asinine 1,350 hp on pump gas. Jay is very mechanically intrigued by the Charger at the beginning of this video, and puts it on the lift to take a look at the underside. The engine plumbing is a thing of beauty, and the mill packs a massive radiator and intercooler to keep things running cool. Leno's drive in the Tantrum is especially interesting. The beastly engine is difficult to control, and anything above half throttle in most gears can spin the rear tires. The significant turbo lag also makes the power unpredictable. When Jay finally finds a straight piece of road, he puts the hammer down and rockets into the distance. And, of course, you know Jay's not going to end the video without some suitably smoking tires.
