Up for sell is my 2002 Dodge Viper GTS Coupe. This car was a classic the day it rolled off the assembly line. Twelve years later there is still NOTHING like a second generation Viper GTS. 

The 2002 was the final year for the Gen 2 Viper, a much more sorted performance car than the Gen 1 that it replaced in 1996. In 2001, the braking systems were improved to better compete with the world's most capable supercars. Subsequent Gen 3 and 4 cars became more refined and laden with creature comforts to distract from the raw edge of this car. The stripe-less red 2002 GTS is THE Viper to own. 

Vipers are for drivers who crave torque and want to feel as closely connected to it as possible. It is truly a supercar by virtually any definition other than price. And it is a distinctly American Supercar.

Now let me tell you about the special features of this car. The paint is red. The interior is black. The tires are wide. And the motor is big. The tail pipes are fat and it makes a lot of noise when you press hard on the throttle. It gets really bad gas mileage. 

There is nothing subtle about this car. The 490 foot pounds of torque are seemingly available from near idle. The rush of power from any gear is exhilarating. Downshift and stand on it and it can get scary fast for the uninitiated. Let off the gas and that gurgle out back will remind you of the serious potential pushing the pedal in the other direction will deliver. It is a beast. 

This Viper GTS starts right up and runs cool at 190' all day long. It idles calmly. The T56 six speed gearbox shifts with authority, the robust clutch takes up smoothly but is more than up for the task when called upon. It is clad with fresh staggered BF Goodrich G-Force rubber; 275/35ZR18's in front and an incredible 335/30ZR18's in the back. It has upgraded Stop-Tech brakes that are strong and fade free. The air blows cold and all the controls work as intended. The Alpine radio/CD sounds good but who cares when you have that 8.0 liter 450 bhp normally aspirated ram air V10 to serenade you.

Despite its amazing performance capabilities the car is easy to drive around town, even docile if you have the restraint. There are no real blind spots and it soaks up bumps surprisingly well for a track ready car. Telephone conversations are a genuine possibility at cruising speeds. The big danger is the rubber-neck'ers in the next lane. From the fellow enthusiast to the soccer mom in the minivan; no one can resist the eye candy that is a red Viper GTS.

From a collect-ability standpoint these cars, unless seriously dogged, represent a great buying opportunity. A lower mileage car (less than 20k) can be substantially more $$ whereas a higher mileage car (higher than 60k) is only marginally less $$. Owing to the simplicity of the driveline, these cars live up to their reputation as "bullet proof". The GTS is the car to own, not an RT10. Don't let the 44,000 miles on the odometer of this car deter you. This is a up trending collector that you can DRIVE and enjoy 5,000 miles a year without apology and never lose money. 

This car is in Rowlett, Texas 75088 and is offered at a buy it now of $36,800.

Roadkill Nights writhes with 200 Dodge Vipers

Sun, Aug 13 2017

Some 200 Dodge Vipers from across the United States and Canada descended Saturday on Roadkill Nights, the FCA-sponsored event at M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan, that turned Woodward Avenue into a drag strip. The Vipers were there to mark this month's end of production of the wicked, hand-built, highly customizable performance car after 25 years. Vipers of every generation, color and stripe arrived en masse under a police escort, from the blue-and-white GTS-R to cars dressed in appropriate Snakeskin Green. Check out the gallery above. Halfway around the world, meanwhile, other Viper fans are trying to mark the car's production demise by claiming the record lap time at the Nurburgring. They ran a 7:03.45 lap in late July. And according to a Facebook post yesterday from the group, they've secured funding for more Ring time to make another attempt. Roadkill Nights racing was continuing until 11 Saturday night, and included drag events featuring the new Dodge Demon.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.

Chrysler Recalling 870,000 SUVs For Brake Defect

Wed, Apr 2 2014

Chrysler is recalling nearly 870,000 SUVs because corrosion may make the vehicles' brakes harder to use. Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from the 2011 through 2014 model years are involved. Chrysler says crimp joints in the brake boosters can corrode if they're exposed to water. If the water freezes, the boosters won't aid braking as they usually do. Chrysler began investigating after some customers said their brakes felt too firm when pressed down. The company knows of one accident, but no injuries, due to the defect. Dealers will install a shield to protect the boosters for free and replace boosters that aren't working properly. Chrysler has since changed the design to make the boosters more corrosion resistant. Chrysler will notify owners of the recall, which involves 867,795 vehicles.
