Beautiful, lowered with Eibach springs and 20" Forgestar F14 wheels and almost new Toyo Proxxes R1's (over $3000 cost), menacing triple black , thousands in performance upgrades with no customization, BY PRIVATE OWNER (NO DEALER FEES, etc.)  and best of all, it's not red!  This car does have a Rebuilt title from very minor rear suspension and damage to original wheels. The damage was repaired over 1 year ago by top Viper specialists (74auto) and the car has been driven many miles since with absolutely no issues. It was dealer serviced and inspected 2 weeks ago (service records in hand), and recall N13 just completed (air bag check), all passed 100%. No evidence of airbag deployment ever and  I cannot see any evidence of paintwork except the front bumper cover which was just redone due to normal Viper rock chips/scrapes, and as any painter will tell you: Black color gives PERFECT paint match (not like red, black is black).  So the nose looks new (see pics) meaning you may want to put 3m clear film or bra, if you plan to drive it home. This car is just a couple of inches off the ground, and the 20 inch Matte black finish Forgestar wheels (19 front) look like the new SRT wheels (e.g. Hellcat) and combine to give it an exotic, menacing look, and I am always surprised how virtually every person you encounter must make some kind of comment on the car...many think it is new, the black finish and panel fit is superb (I have owned 8 other Vipers since '94-this is my last and by far the best and the strongest-I am just too old now...approaching 60.I prefer the 2003-up cars by so much, because they were finally able to correct the nagging items on the first gen-cars, much better aerodynamics/ergonomics, e.g. you can drive this car at high speeds w/the top down in comfort, while the 02 and down cars were like wind tunnels at 60mph and not true convertibles, and worst of all was the appearance w/the bulky hardtop in place...). 
Complete Performance exhaust, much louder than stock, fantastic V10 sound,  not sure if Corsa/Mopar- has stainless tips at the exit (nice cosmetic upgrade over stock), including aftermarket quality headers (thicker polished stainless at the flange (see pic) I did not remove heat shielding, K&N twin conicals and polished smooth tube intake (14+ hp), this is the factory Mopar Performance 44+ hp kit: Headers, cat back exhaust , reflash ECM , and P4510171 cam (7hp+-could not confirm exact cam) , see=> "mopartsracing-com/parts/viper.html". I am fairly sure the factory "H"pipe is gone with this system, as the cabin is cooler than others I've driven. A/C is nice and cold. Stereo has had an MP3 /Ipod attachment discreetly added hidden in console.Not sure if CD player works, radio does,  I use MP3. Navigation unit for this car is only about $325 common on Ebay (same unit in Jeeps) if you must have one. Interior looks totally stock, driver seat is excellent with no outer bolster damage (commonly seen as heavyset folks grab that left most bolster and squeeze it trying to hoist themselves out of the car). The only part of the car that shows any significant wear is the driver's floormat...it's not bad but for $75 you could throw in a new OEM set of mats and this car is ready to park in your museum or car show, as an investment...but driving it is addictive!!! 

Please call 505-426-6677 with any questions (evenings, we are on Mountain Time zone). Title in hand, private owner, no b.s. dealer profit fees, and also tax/registration savings, w/private owner who has been selling on Ebay for OVER 10 YEARS w/100% positive feedback. If you arrive/inspect car and feel it is not fairly represented, I will refund your deposit 100% and cancel transaction no problem,no worries.

I will try to take more pics, but my Kodak is not the best camera, and I live on a ranch in the middle of nowhere, (but near interstates I-25 and I40), my "driveway " is 2 miles long and unpaved, so even though the car is always garaged/covered , the car is a little dusty sometimes, after you get it back to the big city you can detail it to perfection. In the interior photos I didn't vacuum or armor-all it or any of those dealer "techniques" .The interior is in near mint condition, you can detail/shine it up to look like a 2010 no problems. The beauty of this car comes through even without fancy dealer photo shoots...
Please don't  call me w/"lowball" offers, this car is already at the  lowest price point for these cars even w/all the extras and no dealer costs. This car is even lower than many of the old 400/450hp cars yet the build quality, fit and finish is significantly better and the performance with the added power and vastly better aerodynamics (especially w/ the Eibach lowering/performance springs) is a huge premium. I can also help w/transportation or delivery and generally help get you into this car any way I can within reason . Everyone should enjoy a pure pleasure car like these at least once- I never regretted any of mine.

 Also...the last pictures shows the set of 2009 factory "Razor" wheels I also have for the car. 
Just google "viper razor wheels" to see more pics. If you prefer these wheels over the forgestar 20's I could lower the price. I actually prefer the Razors (I was going to put on an OEM 2009 hood, and have a complete update to 2008-10 factory appearance), but most people I asked preferred the 20's. The Razors have correct 2009 Michelin PS2's but the rears are only about 30% tread, whereas the Toyo's are 75-85% (6-7/32)...so that's the main reason I could lower the price for the car w/the Razors. The Razors are new OEM heels so virtually perfect cond-zero curb rash.

Chrysler recalling 2009-2010 Ram 1500, Dodge Dakota pickups over axle pinion nut

Mon, 08 Oct 2012

Chrysler is issuing a recall for the 2009 and 2010 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota pickup trucks due to improper installation of the rear axle pinion nut. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 44,300 trucks are affected by the recall, and there have been 12 confirmed incidents including one crash.
The issue on both trucks is that the pinion nut is loosening on some trucks due to a lack of thread adhesive, and it is causing the rear axle to lock up resulting in loss of vehicle control. NHTSA's recall notice says that eight incidents occurred at speeds over 35 miles per hour and most also exhibited driveshaft failures as well since the loss of the pinion nut would cause the gear to separate from the driveshaft. In one complaint, the driveshaft separated from the rear axle and punctured the gas tank.
Chrysler will begin sending out recall notices to affected owners in November, but scroll down to see the official NHTSA notice.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"

eGarage interviews a couple with 65 Vipers

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

Owning multiple vehicles can be a hassle worth enjoying if you're willing to spend the time and the money required to acquire and maintain them. But when it's hard to make ends meet while underused valuable hunks of metal, plastic and rubber sit happily taking up garage space, journeys into the depths of other people's well-developed automotive obsessions will either bring you and your cars closer together, or compel you to sell them off before you become one of those fanatics. A recent video by eGarage is one of those journeys, and it's not for the faint of heart: D'Ann and Wayne Rauh own 65 Dodge and SRT Vipers in a collection of automobiles that exceeds 100.
We're not sure if the couple has developed heat-resistant calves from stepping over Viper door sills made burning-hot by side-exhaust pipes, but we wouldn't be surprised if they did. We did learn that their obsession with the no-holds-barred sports car started in 2006 with a trip to a dealership to buy just one Viper, which goes to show how innocently car obsessions can start. But the Rauhs seem to be doing just fine - perhaps better - 64 more Vipers later.
Watch the video below for the full story and to see what eGarage claims is the world's largest Viper collection.
