Up for sale is my 2007 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona. This car is #268 out of 1,500 made during 2007. I am the first and only owner of the vehicle. It was purchased brand new back in May of 2007 and the title is clean (I own the vehicle---title in hand). Currently, the vehicle has 33,850 miles on the odometer, but the drivetrain actually has significantly less due to all of the modifications, which are detailed below. The car came with all options from the factory except the rear seat DVD player. The car originally had the standard 5.7L Hemi engine, but it has been swapped out for a fully forged 6.5L stroker motor that was purpose-built for a boosted application. The shortblock was blueprinted and assembled by ERL Performance, and it utilizes a K1 forged crankshaft, K1 H-beam forged rods, ARP mains, and Wiseco 9:1 forged pistons. The cam is also designed to work with a supercharger, as it is a 228/236 on a 116 LSA. On top of that, the car has ported and polished street/strip heads from PWR (with PSI 1511 springs, 2.05/1.60 stainless valves, titanium retainers, bronze guides, viton seals, machined locks, and hardened locators). When the motor swap was performed, brand new SRT lifters, forged pushrods, a new timing set, a 6.1 oil pump, and all new bolts/gaskets were installed as well to keep everything brand new. The car has Dynatech long-tube headers and gutted cats, flowing into a Borla “125” catback exhaust system with rolled 5” tips. The car is set up for DMH cutouts as well. I still have the factory shortblock that the car came with, should the new owner truly desire to have that as well (can be worked out for an additional price if desired, otherwise I am holding onto it for a future project). All of the motor and transmission work was performed by Erik Storms of BFNY Performance---the best builder in the business, hands down. His reputation precedes him, so the car was built with the utmost care and professionalism that you can possibly get from a modern Hemi installer. The motor swap was completed when the car had 29,246 miles on it, so the engine alone only has roughly 4,600 miles on it----practically brand new. On top of the motor sits is a 2.8L Kenne Bell supercharger. The blower was both purchased from and installed/tuned by Tim Barth of Mr. Norm’s Performance in Rockford, IL. This shop specializes in Kenne Bell distribution and installation, so once again the install of this supercharger was performed by some of the best in the business. With a 15lb pulley on, the car put down 648rwhp (that’s roughly 750 crank horsepower). The tune was backed down to 11lbs of boost to make it easier to manage for street driving, and that tune makes roughly 585rwhp as the car sits (approximately 715 crank horsepower). The blower was installed about a year after the motor when the car had 30,464 miles on it, so even the supercharger is practically brand new as well. Fueling this setup is an in-tank 255 Walbro fuel pump, a Kenne Bell boost-a-pump, -4 braided feed lines from tank to rails, billet fuel rails with front crossover, and SRT4 stage II injectors. In July of 2012, a new high performance transmission was installed in order to support all of the engine modifications. The transmission was built by Enhanced Transmissions out of Cleveland, OH with all upgraded clutches and was again installed by BFNY. The car has a completely custom 3100 billet stall converter as well, which was both designed and built by “BuilderBill” of Paramount Performance to work with a twin screw supercharger. Connecting the transmission to the rear end is a two-piece chromoly driveshaft from Paramount Performance as well. The stock 2.82 open rear differential was swapped out for a Getrag 3.73 limited slip rear end, which is essentially what most Challengers would later come with from the factory (beefier axles and a taller gear ratio). The car has a Wilwood big brake kit installed at all four corners for stopping power. The kit was purchased from TCE Performance Products back when the car had roughly 14K miles on it. In front, the kit utilizes 6-piston W6A calipers (with black powdercoat) on top of 14” two-piece, lightweight Wilwood rotors. In back, the kit utilizes 4-piston Wilwood calipers (with black powdercoat) on top of 13” two-piece, lightweight Wilwood rotors. Both front and rear kits utilize stainless steel braided brake lines as well. I originally installed Eibach coilovers on the car when it had roughly 10K miles on it. I have since upgraded to an air ride suspension system, but the Eibach struts are still used with this kit. The Eibach springs were swapped for air bags from Universal Air Suspension, who makes a phenomenal kit designed specifically for the Charger. There is a 5-gallon air tank, two Viair 480C air compressors, and all of the necessary valves installed in the spare tire well of the trunk, completely hidden from view. The air ride is controlled from a 3-switch panel that fits in the ash tray, just below the radio, for ease and convenience of use. The car will sit less than an inch off the ground if you air it down when parked, otherwise it can maintain a factory ride-height for driving purposes as you see fit. Exterior-wise, the car has undergone a complete transformation. All of the major bodywork (widebody, suicide doors, and vented front fenders) was performed by none other than the Widebody King himself---Topo of TS Designs in Paramount, CA. This is NOT a pre-fabbed kit. All of the body work is hand-crafted metal from start to finish. The car was in his possession for just shy of a year to get it to the point that you see now. The widebody resulted in approximately a 4” flare to either side of the rear end, starting near the taillight on each side and extending all the way down the middle of each rear door. The front fenders are stock Charger fenders that have been modified to include the vent (they are NOT fiberglass or any other cheap replacement material, but rather factory metal fenders). The suicide hinges were purchased from the best in the business as well---Street Dreams by Ross out of Michigan. He makes the best and strongest parts for suicide applications, and he came highly recommended by Topo as well. This is the type of body surgery you only want to do ONCE and never have to worry about it again, so that is exactly what was accomplished here: the best parts installed by the best people. To fill out the widebody, the car has completely custom USW Forged “D-LUX” wheels. These are three-piece wheels with a gloss black/Sublime painted center, chrome outer barrels, and black powdercoated inner barrels. The front wheels are 22x9.5” with 265/30/22 Pirelli tires, and the rears are 22x12” (8” outer barrel and 4” inner) wrapped in massive 335/25/22 Pirelli tires. Nothing was spared on this wheel/tire combo. The wheels were cut perfectly to clear the brakes without spacers, and the fit and finish is second to none. The car has a front fascia and side skirts made by Grip Tuning. The side skirts had to be modified a bit to accommodate the widebody, to be expected. The car maintains the factory Sublime Metallic paint that it originally came with, but it has a bit more flake added to the mix than factory. From more than 10 feet away, you can’t even tell it’s any different from the stock color, but get up close to it or catch it in the right light and the flake will really pop. The car has some airbrush work done on the outside (hood, quarter panels, trunk lid, spoiler) as well as under the hood. All of the remaining prep and primary paint/clear/finishing work was performed by Addison Auto Body in Addison, IL---again, complete masters of their craft. The car is absolutely perfect from bumper to bumper (absolutely no dents, dings, or scratches of any kind). The car has 40% tint all the way around, and a 15% banner across the front window, which ties in with the gloss black roof and painted window trim nicely. Under the hood, the engine bay has been completely transformed, largely due to all of the billet aluminum add-ons from Billet Technology out of South Florida. They produced the black anodized valve covers, coil packs covers, and under-hood cover/cap kit. They also did all of the “HULK” engraving that you see on these parts as well. The painted reservoirs, ABS cover, and firewall cover were done in color-matched Sublime paint as well. The radiator cover (which carries the flame/stripe combo under the hood when it is popped for shows) will come along with the car too. The interior of the car remains largely untouched from the factory. The steering wheel trim and gauge rings were painted Sublime to match the radio bezel, and the shifter handle was swapped for a black billet version. Other than that, the seats, door panels, headliner, carpeting, etc. all remain as they were from the factory. I was not willing to sacrifice comfort inside the car for interior car-show features, so aside from the sound system work, the interior is completely stock. The factory navigation unit was swapped for a Pioneer AVIC-F900BT NAV unit, but still runs stock interior speakers throughout. In the trunk, an Alpine PDX1.1000 powers a JL Audio 13W7 subwoofer mounted in a trunk set up built specifically for the Charger by JL Audio themselves down in South Florida. The box and beauty panels are wrapped in a grey-colored suede, and the inside of the box has Sublime painted walls as well. There is a “DAYTONA” emblem in the floor of the trunk that is lit by green LED’s when the trunk is popped. There is an HC1200 Kinetik battery in use for the sound system---in addition to the stock car battery---so as to prevent unnecessary drain on the car. I spent five years of my life getting this car to the point it is at now. This was all done by me personally---no sponsorships, and nothing was free or anything like that---with a lot of help from a lot of great people that went into this car. No expenses were spared when this car was built. The car can be turned into a weekend showcar or a full-on drag car with absolute ease, but it was built to be a turnkey daily driver first and foremost. I wanted the car to be as reliable as it was when I first bought it, so it was always built with that in mind from the start. I have spent the last year since “finishing” the car to enjoy what I’ve built, but now it is time to move on to something else. I can provide as much detail as needed on ANY of the parts/people that were involved in the building of this car, should the new owner ever need to track down some information about anything that was done to the car. Please let me know if there are any questions, and good luck with the bidding. -I am not interested in trades of any sort -Upon auction close, a $500.00 deposit will be required within 24 hours. The remaining balance must be paid in full before the car can be picked up. -The car can be shipped if local pick-up is not possible, but it must be done completely at the buyer's coordination and expense. -All sales are final.

Barracuda's Dodge branding no biggie, but what about engines?
Thu, Aug 27 2015Rumors about a revival of the Barracuda nameplate have been circulating for years now, though which brand it might fall under has been a bit of a mystery. Initial speculation had the car labeled an SRT product, but that acronym has since returned to its former role as a sub-brand for top-performance Mopars. Thanks to leaks from a recent FCA dealership event, we know the Barracuda is back on the table but will be sold under the Dodge umbrella, a move that has been generating a bit of ire from Pentastar fanatics, as the car was originally part of the defunct Plymouth brand. Given what's known about the new model, however, the badge is the least of my concerns about the new car. Let's start with the re-branding itself. This isn't the first time Chrysler has shuffled models around to different brands. The current-generation Viper spent two years as the flagship model under the SRT banner, only to return to Dodge for 2015 when SRT resumed its former role as a sub-brand. Years ago, the Neon was sold as a Plymouth, a Dodge, and a Chrysler model, depending on where you shopped for one. When Plymouth ceased to exist, the last few years of Prowler production got Chrysler badges instead. Then there's the new Jeep Renegade, a model whose name was born out of a trim level. The Barracuda might not turn out to be a muscle car in the way we currently define them. Further examples of naming liberties taken throughout automotive history could fill a book, but suffice it to say that these days a model's name has very little to do with the vehicle itself or any legacy it might have. The Barracuda name might be a particularly sacred cow with enthusiasts, but to me, a much bigger concern is the fact that the car might not turn out to be a muscle car in the way we currently define them. News from the Fiat Chrysler dealer briefing earlier this week indicates that when the next Charger debuts it will share its platform with the Barracuda, much the way the Charger and Challenger are twinned now. One difference is that the Barracuda is tipped to be offered as a convertible, while the modern Challenger is tintop-only. The Charger and Barracuda will use the rear-drive platform developed for Alfa Romeo's new Giulia, itself designed as a BMW M3 fighter both from a dimensional and dynamic standpoint; the Barracuda is expected to be slightly smaller than the current Challenger.
NHTSA is investigating FCA shifters for roll-away accidents again, this time the rotary units
Tue, Dec 20 2016It seems FCA's shifter troubles aren't over yet. Now, just a few months after issuing a recall to resolve user-related issues with its monostable shifters, the company is again under investigation by NHTSA. The issue is related to the potential for cars to roll away when the rotary-style shifter is not properly placed in park. Two FCA models are the subject of this investigation: the 2013–2016 Ram 1500 and the 2014–2016 Dodge Durango. NHTSA estimates about 1,000,000 vehicles would be affected if a recall is issued. The investigation was started following 43 complaints of vehicles rolling away while supposedly being in "park." Among the complaints were reports of 25 crashes and 9 injuries. NHTSA does point out that in every incident, the parking brake was not engaged. A representative from FCA also gave us an official statement regarding the investigation: "FCA US is cooperating fully with NHTSA's investigation, the scope of which is limited. Other vehicles equipped with rotary shifters are not included. In accordance with prudent practice, the Company joins NHTSA in urging all drivers to use their vehicles' parking brakes." View 35 Photos As mentioned above, other Chrysler products with rotary shifters, such as the Pacifica minivan and 200 sedan, are not involved in this investigation. One of the key differences, as the representative told us, is that these vehicles have electronic parking brakes that automatically engage if the driver does not select park and then opens the door with the seatbelt unbuckled. The Ram 1500 and Durango feature mechanical, manually operated parking brakes and therefore cannot activate the brake automatically. Because this is currently an investigation, an exact cause for the incidents has yet to be determined, and none of the vehicles have been recalled. It's possible there could be a mechanical defect. However, the issue could be a confusing interface causing user error, as was the case with FCA's monostable shifters, where drivers think they've put the car in park but actually haven't. Something that indicates it could be a case of confused users is that NHTSA also opened an investigation into 2012–2014 Jaguar XF and Land Rover Range Rover Evoques for similar issues. Both vehicles use a rotary shifter and have had roll-away complaints levied as well. Even if it is a case of user error, FCA and Jaguar Land Rover may still have to recall their vehicles.
FCA recalls 210,000 new Jeeps and Dodges due to a brake issue
Thu, Aug 23 2018FCA is recalling some 210,000 vehicles in the U.S. and elsewhere over a possible braking issue. On this occasion, the recall is made less complicated by the fact that about one-third of the affected vehicles are so new, they still reside on dealer lots, making them easy to tally up and put right. The recall concerns 2018 Dodge Journeys, 2019 Jeep Cherokees and 2018-2019 Dodge Grand Caravans and 2018-2019 Jeep Compasses. Most were built in spring 2018, and the recall is related to a brake system component that failed to meet FCA specifications. Further information available on the NHTSA website details the issue, saying that insufficiently coated rear brake caliper pistons may cause gas pockets to form in the brake fluid of very new vehicles. This in turn can reduce rear brake performance — bubbles in brake lines are not desirable. FCA underlines that the brakes still function, but stopping distance can be affected. As a remedy, the brake systems are inspected and re-bled. The recall is slated to begin on Sept. 28. In addition to 154,337 vehicles in the United States, the recall concerns 19,066 units in Canada, some 900 in Mexico and some 35,500 vehicles on other markets.
