You are bidding on one of eight known builds by LPE of a Gen II Viper.  This is most likely the last Gen II they built but you would need to confirm with LPE. It is a Model year 2000 with 7100 miles on it as of this writing.

I bought this car in December 2012 and proceeded to put additional upgrades into it.  The first and foremost is a PROEFI 128 system installed by A&C Performance who is one of the premier Viper tuners in the world.  If you research the Viper community you will see he his the guy on the west coast. 

With the PROEFI we added traction control which makes the car much better in driving.  Previously traction was an issue and even in 3rd  or 4th gear you would loose the tires going up an off ramp.  Now, it’s just solid full acceleration.  The car drive great with this tune set up, doesn't get hot, and the air blows cold.  But it is loud and it is fast.  This is my 5th Viper I have owned.  I'm getting to old to keep a car of this magnitude and plan on getting a more current daily driver, perhaps a HellCat which would be alot more tame.

With the EFI Tune the car pulled 674 RWHP  Do the math, with drive-train loss that is about 770 crank HP.

Here is a video from when I picked it up from A&C

New set of Michelin Pilot tires.

Trap door oil system to the engine oil pan.

MGW billet trim pieces and gas cap (have original pieces still)

Short shifter and knob (have original pieces still)

Billet PS bracket

Billet steer rack bushings

Rear air diffusers

Current upgraded HD Unitrax half shafts.

The engine work at LPE is as follows:

- Computer balanced rotating assembly
- Custom V10 aluminum block preparation

- JE Forged pistons & HD piston pins
- Heavy duty rod and main bearings
- 70 mm billet throttle bodies
- Properly sized injectors
- Stainless steel headers

- Chassis dyno testing after installation
- Gaskets, spark plugs, oil and fluids
- Reassembly and blueprinting of the engine
- Professional installation, testing and tuning
- 2 year/ 24,000 mile warranty
- Lingenfelter certificate of authenticity

In addition, LPE installed Penske fully adjustable shocks, RPM Stage VI Transmission, Brembo Big Brake kit with floating rotors front and rear, new clutch, HD radiator, HRE 18/19 wheel set up.

The car passed CA smog when I bought it but currently has no cats so it won’t anymore therefore buyer is on his own in that regard. The cats got hot with the dyno pulls and left a small mark on the side sill. You can see it with the doors open but not so much when they are closed. Picture attached.  In addition the PROEFI is piggybacked over the OEM computer so that window and doorlocks work but the check engine light remains on.  It can be deleted if needed but never was an issue for me.

If you read though the forums you will find I am a track junkie. However, this car has not been on the track. Primarily for two reasons. It is extra clean and I don’t want windshield and paint chips. If I broke and engine, which I have done before in another Viper, it would no longer be an LPE car as I’d have to go backwards (stock) on the engine.

This car is clean and it runs great. The cam in it is huge. Todd spent hours on the tune to make it run so good.

Mopar '13 Dart is a bruiser of a compact

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

For the fourth year in a row, Mopar is offering a limited-production car decked with a plenty of add-ons and a unique look. This year's black-and-blue car is the Mopar '13 Dart, which was unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show with the now-signature paint scheme. Like previous Mopar models, only 500 of the '13 Darts will be built. Past models include the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and the Mopar '12 300.
The all-black Dart gets a brightly contrasting, offset blue stripe running the full length of the car, and other styling mods like the aero-tuned body kit, gloss black grille, wheels and mirror caps. Curiously, Mopar chose to stick with the Dart's standard headlights rather than the darker, smoked lights. The interior gets a similar black-and-blue treatment, but this unique cabin features a blue leather driver's seat to go along with the black leather seating for the rest of the passengers.
More than just a styling package, the Mopar '13 Dart also gets some performance and handling goodies to complement the Dart's turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, such as upgraded brakes with slotted rotors, a lowered suspension, retuned electric power steering and a "sport-tuned" exhaust system.

Will Dodge limit 2015 Challenger SRT Hellcat to 1,200 units?

Sun, 20 Jul 2014

With over 700 horsepower on tap and a price tag barely over $60k, Dodge appears on paper to have a winner on its hands with the new Challenger SRT Hellcat. But if you want to get your hands on one, you may have to act quicker than this most powerful of muscle cars covers the quarter-mile.
That's because, according to our compatriots over at Edmunds, Dodge may limit production - in the first year, at least - to just 1,200 units. That would amount to barely a quarter of the Challengers that Dodge moves each month, and would also mean only one Hellcat for every two Dodge dealers in the US - which could lead to some serious contention over which stores and which customers can get their hands on the ultimate Challenger.
Reached for comment, SRT spokesman Dan Reid told Autoblog that "there is no plan to limit production of the Challenger Hellcat," echoing the words of Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis who told Edmunds: "We don't know what the market demand is." Which doesn't mean that it won't restrict production, but doesn't mean that it will, either. It just hasn't decided yet - or announced any such decision, at any rate - over what will be the final allocation strategy for what could be a game-changing muscle car. That is, at least, until new versions of the Mustang and Camaro come along in pursuit of Dodge's bragging rights...

Dodge Hellcat orders on hold due to 'unprecedented demand'

Sun, Mar 15 2015

Want to get your hands on a 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger or Charger Hellcat to call your very own? We don't blame you, and you're not alone. According to Motor Authority and confirmed by a spokesperson from Chrysler, Dodge has gotten so many orders for its stable of Hellcats that it simply cannot keep up with demand: "Due to unprecedented demand for the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger SRT Hellcats, we are temporarily restricting orders while we validate current orders that are in the system." Put another way, if you're waiting for a Hellcat, your wait is likely to be a lot longer than you'd like. We've reached out to Chrysler to find out how long it might take for a new customer to get a new Hellcat, and we'll update if and when we hear back.
