This beautiful Launch Edition SRT10 Coupe is a joy to drive, the A/C blows ICE Cold and the Sound system has the ability to load and play multiple MP3/CD Discs or plug in your IPOD or MP3 player directly. This car is the 2006 Launch Edition and has special significance because it is #43 of 200 which happens to be the most Iconic Dodge racer of all time, The King Richard Petty  The exhaust is custom built by NayKid Racing a (previously) factory supported Viper racing team and demands attention without being obnoxious while releasing a little more power from the mighty V10 over stock The fact that we raced new from the factory Vipers (this car was never raced) allowed some team spares (brand new parts) to find their way onto this team owner's street car as follows:   * Full T1 Suspension * Moton Double Adjustable Remote Reservoir Shocks * Eibach Coil-over Springs * Fully adjustable sway bars The tires and wheels have less than 2,000 miles on them as they were pulled off one of the race cars during it's conversion from street car and installed on this car. The car has been tasteful lowered just enough to look drop dead sexy yet still navigate the average speed bump or driveway successfully. The driver's seat has been lowered 1" which is just enough that a six footer doesn't have to lean over in the car to see a traffic light. FYI: "rebuilt" title due to mishap when car was very new, many Viper's ended up with rebuilt titles due the extremely high cost of parts and commonly being owned by very meticulous people who pushed insurance companies to total rather than repair these powerful machines. I've owned this car for 5 years, it was repaired, inspected licensed and insured before I bought it. It has been licensed, insured and driven for pleasure every year since. In Washington you  must take the damaged car, after the repair is made and "before" you are issued a title and are granted the ability to license the car for the highway you must have the car inspected. Once the car has been inspected and deemed repaired properly and safe for the road you are issued a "branded" title which could say, "rebuilt" (as in this case) or "not actual miles" etc and then you license the car and smog check it etc just like any other car never to bother again with anything more than any other clean title car. I have to smog check it every other year which it passes with flying colors because we've made no changes that affect smog. As for insurance I've also had insurance on it the whole time with Ameriprize and all I had to do was have an inspection done by an ASE mechanic and show current pictures of car the same as insuring a classic. It could be different in another state but I would be surprised and I encourage you to make a couple calls.  The thing that happened a lot with these Vipers was they would have incur light damage and the salvage value is so high on them that the insurance company could make out better by totaling them. In other words, the way a car is determined to be totaled is as follows: Cost of repairs + expenses related to downtime (IE: rental car) OR Replacement cost (how much car owner will settle for to walk away from car) - salvage value (what someone will buy the damaged car for) is what determines the insurance company's outlay.  Whichever is the less of the two determines if car will be totaled or not. Typically a Viper is worth $75k to replace yet brings $55k in salvage so net loss for insurance company is $20k, when you compare that to $15k to repair a small damage + 60 days worth of rental cars and expenses @ $6k that's $21k so better off to total even with minor damage... This car was repaired properly and is owned and driven by an accomplished road racing team owner as his personal street car, this also allowed for this car to end up with some very cool and elusive parts direct from Dodge Motorsports due to his Sponsorship with Dodge.  See above for description...

Hackers arrested after stealing more than 30 Jeeps in Texas

Fri, Aug 5 2016

This article has been updated with details on how the thefts were carried out, and with comments from FCA. It seems the news regarding vehicle hacking continues to get worse, especially when it comes to products from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Last year, a Jeep Cherokee in St. Louis, Missouri, was wirelessly hacked from Pittsburgh. Nissan had to shut down its Leaf app because of vulnerabilities. Now, a pair of hackers in Houston, Texas, stole more than 30 Jeeps over a six-month period. The two were arrested by police last Friday while attempting to steal another vehicle. ABC 13 in Houston reports that police had been following Michael Arcee and Jesse Zelay for several months but were unable to catch them in the act until now. The two were using a laptop to connect to and start a vehicle. The thieves were able to access Fiat Chrysler's own DealerCONNECT software. After entering the vehicle identification number, the hackers were able to reprogram the cars' security systems to accept a generic key, according to The Houston Chronicle. Additionally, Automotive News reports that FCA subsequently updated the terms of use for its DealerCONNECT program. These thefts were not related to the UConnect remote hacks from last year.

It was this footage that first led the police to Arcee and Zelay. The police began to follow and record the pair. That investigation eventually led to Friday's arrest. Both are charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. In addition, Arcee is charged with felon in possession of a weapon and possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. According to ABC 13, Homeland Security is investigating more than 100 stolen FCA vehicles that they believe were hacked using this method. After their theft, the vehicles were brought across the border to Mexico. FCA is currently conducting an internal investigation into the matter. After this article was posted, the company reached out to Autoblog, stating "FCA US takes the safety and security of its customers seriously and incorporates security features in its vehicles that help to reduce the risk of unauthorized and unlawful access to vehicle systems and wireless communications. FCA US has been cooperating with Houston Police Department since they first started the investigation.

Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM.

Dodge CEO and Gas Monkey Garage dissect the 10-second Challenger Hellcat

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

So far, whenever we've seen the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 707-horsepower, supercharged Hellcat V8, the muscle car has been smoking its tires. Dodge is finally proving that the SRT can do more than ruin perfectly good sets of rubber, though. In it's latest video, company CEO Tim Kuniskis hands the Hellcat off to the guys from Gas Monkey Garage to show how quickly the automaker's most powerful model can make it down the drag strip.
Of course, the only fitting contender to race against Dodge's latest top muscle car is its grandpa - a Hemi-powered 1971 Challenger, in this case. Before getting to the main event, the hosts also show off some of the SRT's unique features like the blanks in the grille that feed the intercoolers. We'll go ahead and spoil that the Hellcat makes its pass in the 10-second range, and the video admits the tires on the production version would take just a touch longer to cover the quarter-mile. However, you have to watch film to see just how quick it actually goes. Scroll down to see a classic example of American muscle drag racing against its modern legacy.
