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!

Stellantis mega-merger gets approval from FCA, PSA shareholders
Mon, Jan 4 2021MILAN — Shareholders of Fiat Chrysler and PSA Peugeot decisively voted Monday to merge the U.S.-Italian and French carmakers to create worldÂ’s 4th-largest auto company. Addressing separate meetings, both PSA Peugeot CEO Carlos Tavares and Fiat Chrysler Chairman John Elkann spoke of the “historic” importance of the vote, which combines legacy car companies that helped write the industrial histories of the United States, France and Italy. Before the merger is finalized, shares in the new company, to be called Stellantis, must the launched. It will be traded in Milan, New York and Paris. The marriage of PSA Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is built on the promise of cost-savings in the capital-hungry industry, but what remains to be seen is if it will be able to preserve jobs and heritage brands in a global market still suffering from the pandemic. The deal will create the worldÂ’s fourth-largest carmaker, with the capacity to produce 8.7 million cars a year, behind Volkswagen, Toyota and Renault-Nissan, and create 5 billion euros in annual synergies. “We are fully aware of the fact that together we will be stronger than individually,'' PSA CEO Carlos Tavares told a virtual gathering of eligible shareholders. “The two companies are in good health. These two companies have strong positions in their markets.” The new company will put together under one roof French mass-market carmakers Peugeot and Citroen, top-selling Jeep and Italian luxury and sports brands Maserati and Alfa Romeo - pooling companies that have helped define the industry in the United States, France and Italy. While the tie-up is billed as a merger of equals, the power advantage goes to PSA, with Tavares running Stellantis and holding the tie-breaking vote on the 11-seat board. Tavares is set to take full control of the company early this year, possibly by the end of January. Fiat Chrysler chairman John Elkann, heir to the Fiat-founding Agnelli family and Fiat ChryslerÂ’s biggest shareholder, will be the Stellantis chairman. Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley will head North American operations, which is key to Tavares' long-time goal of getting a U.S. foothold for the French carmaker he has run since 2014, and the clear money-maker for Fiat Chrysler. Such a deal was long wanted by Fiat ChryslerÂ’s long-time CEO Sergio Marchionne, who had predicted the necessity of consolidation in the industry. He was unable to find a deal before his sudden death in July 2018.
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.

Daily driving a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat
Tue, Feb 9 2016I took delivery of my 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat at Ron Carter Dodge in League City. Bobby Pate and the entire Ron Carter team made the buying experience painless. Thanks, guys! It was worth the nine-month wait to get a new Challenger Hellcat at sticker price. My Hellcat is Phantom Black Tri-coat Pearl with a black interior. The car has the six-speed manual transmission and UConnect. Yes, I know the eight-speed automatic is faster, but the manual transmission provides a level of enjoyment that must be experienced to be appreciated. My original intention was to write daily about my experiences with the Hellcat, but I have been having too much fun with the car. The first 100 miles required incredible self-control to keep the car under 55 mph and engine speed under 3500 rpm. The difference in the driving experience after 500 miles was – and I am only exaggerating a little – life altering!The Red Key To paraphrase Morpheus in The Matrix, "You take the black key, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red key, you stay in wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." The black key is in a place where it will stay until the red key is snatched from my cold, dead hand. The red key is the only key. The red key is "The Key." All 707 horsepower are available with the red key. You can lower the horsepower to only 500 using the SRT pages, I have heard, but why? I have driven the Hellcat in bumper-to-bumper Houston traffic in red-key mode. I have driven the Hellcat in the pouring rain in red-key mode. I have driven the Hellcat to the mall, to the grocery store, to the movies, and to Killen's Steakhouse in Pearland for a 100% Japanese Wagyu steak from the Kagoshima Prefecture. (It was a birthday present from my son. My money goes into the gas tank of my Hellcat.) Just for fun, I used the SRT Pages to put the car in valet mode. For those of you who do not know, valet mode limits the horsepower to: oh, hell! Who cares? The car felt like the parking brake had not been disengaged. I have heard rumors that the Tremec six-speed transmission has a 1-4 skip-shift feature. My Hellcat has never been subjected to this travesty.Questions, questions, and more questions Q: How much over sticker did you have to pay? A: Zero Q: What kind of gas mileage do you get? A: ROTFL Q: How did you ever talk your significant other into letting you buy the Hellcat? A: I didn't ask.
