2001 Dodge Viper on 2040-cars
Subiaco, Arkansas, United States
This is a beautiful 2001 Race Yellow Viper GTS. Most of those miles were on cruises with
car clubs. The car runs great, looks absolutely stunning and has given me no
problems. I am just not driving it anymore and am ready to move to something
else (69 Road Runner I need to fund). Fresh tune-up 2 months ago with new
Demon coil packs, plugs, and full fiberglass sleeved custom wire set. Tires
are in good shape with Nitto Invo's (less than 3000 miles). Always garaged and
never driven in the rain. The only real cosmetic issues I can think of is a
dent in the exhaust cover on the passenger side it's down low and I never really
notice it ( it was there when I bought it). There are also some abrasions to
the chin spoiler. These cars are very low and this is a common problem. I
have a chin spoiler protector on the car but the corners still occasionally
scrape entering driveways etc. I don't really notice it myself but you may
want to get it fixed. If you don't like attention then you do not want this
car. The first time I drove it to the local Sonic, a man literally ran along
side me screaming, "Oh my God that's a Viper, a real Viper". Ever since that
day I realized what a rare and beautiful car the Gen II Viper is. I will miss
her, but hate to see her sitting under the cover in the garage all of the
time. Other recent additions to the car were Roe racing smooth tubes, and
new factory valve covers. (the old ones were bubbling and I love to open the
hood for people, as they always ask me to do).

NHTSA probing Ram recall pace, communication
Tue, 28 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced that it's looking into Chrysler Group's handling of a pair of recalls affecting roughly one million Ram pickup trucks. Reuters is reporting that the regulatory agency is focusing on the availability (or lack thereof) of parts and "poor communications" from the automaker in its investigation.
"Customers have been advised in accordance with the regulations governing recalls," Chrysler spokesman Eric Mayne told Reuters via email. "We are continually replenishing our supply of replacement parts. Chrysler Group regrets any inconvenience our customers may have experienced."
NHTSA disagrees, arguing that the recalls, which affect 972,000 trucks from 2003 to 2012, are being delayed by the lack of parts.
Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
NHTSA investigating Ram 1500 models for rear differential failure
Mon, 30 Jun 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and its Ram brand following a number of reports regarding the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. According to 15 consumer complaints, the trucks' rear differential locked up while in other cases, the driveshaft separated at its connection to the diff.
Nearly half of the reports claim the truck was traveling at or above 50 miles per hour, while two consumers reported that the diff lockup/driveshaft separation sent their pickups into a spin. Most troubling, though, is that consumers reported little to no sound indicating there was a problem with their truck.
We reached out to Ram for additional information, such as how many vehicles may be affected or what equipment might be fitted that could cause the issue. Unfortunately, the company wasn't willing to elaborate on specifics.
