Original Owner 2009 Dodge Challenger One Of A Kind! Kenne Bell Supercharged on 2040-cars
Champlin, Minnesota, United States
You are looking at a one of a kind, 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT-8, owned by a serious collector who is downsizing the fleet as part of my "retirement plan". I bought the car new from Blaine Dodge, and ordered it with NO dealer prep. Why? I wanted to get the car in the original factory condition, including all of the protective stickers, seat and floor covers, etc. The plan was to order a car that will be worth big money in 20 years, because at that time it will be the only Dodge Challenger that includes ALL factory pieces and parts. You can still see the suction cup marks on the windshield from the factory assembly process. You can still read the grease pencil markings on the wheels that were used in the assembly process (see pic of front wheel). Because I ordered the car with no dealer prep, it was not washed by the dealership. I took possession of the car as they unloaded it from the delivery car carrier. I drove the car home, carefully removed the seat/floor protection, but left the protective covers, stickers, and badges elsewhere in the interior. I packed up and documented all of the factory-applied protection, badging, and dealer instruction sheets. You can see some of these in the pics. I carefully removed and saved the window sticker and other documentation that was affixed to the car. I labelled where these items were located as well. Even the factory assembly markings are intact. While the 425 hp SRT-8 engine has plenty of power from the factory, I wanted more. I ordered a Kenne Bell Twin Screw Supercharger for the 6.1 liter engine, and a few weeks later I completed the installation and testing. I'm very meticulous and worked slowly to ensure a perfect installation. Kenne Bell makes a very nice supercharger. The car has never been raced, nor have I dyno'd the engine. I can tell you that the car is VERY fast, even with the stock exhaust (the supercharger was designed for the stock Dodge Challenger exhaust, and according to Kenne Bell, it's a very low restriction exhaust so they recommend using the factory system). The supercharger is a liquid cooled Mammoth 2.8LC. KenneBell's testing on the dyno resulted with a 173 horsepower gain at the rear wheel. This converts to over 200 horsepower gain at the engine! (visit the Kenne Bell website to see the test results on the Dodge Challenger SRT-8 6.1 liter, with the 2.8LC Supercharger kit). Assuming their numbers are close to accurate, this equates to 600-625 horsepower at the engine, and believe me- it feels like it! After installing the supercharger and carefully rechecking all connections, I tool the car out for a test. The factory rear tires would lose traction, even at 20 miles per hour! Kenne Bell achieves full boost at only 2000 rpm, so you are at peak boost as you leave the stop sign. Because traction was so terrible with all that new power, I then ordered some sticky, DOT approved street tires for the rear. I also ordered a 2nd set of wheels that match the factory wheels. So the car comes with 2 sets of rear wheels and tires, both mounted and balanced. Both the factory tires/wheels and the sticky Nitto tires/wheels are included in this auction. The pics of the car are with the Nitto sticky tires on it. While the tires were a very expensive investment, they work very well,and look like the factory tires. If you are a street cruiser (or like me, a street punk) and you want a car that looks and sounds stock, but will launch with unbelievable power and traction....this mopar is the ticket! I've driven the car to a few local shows but have never used it for transportation, hence the very low miles. There are extras that are included in this auction:
1. a smaller pulley for the Kenne Belle supercharger, and installation tool. I've never installed this pulley which increases the boost to a point where you need to run racing fuel in the car.. After driving the car you will probably make the same decision I did, "why would I ever want MORE power?" 2. the factory rear wheels and tires with very few miles on them. I would estimate less than 100 miles were on them when I replaced them with the DOT approved Nitto tires. 3. All the factory-applied protective "stuff", that the dealerships remove and toss. I have it all, and most is still on the car. 4. Kenne Bell instruction and owners manual, and email exchanges with KenneBell during the ordering process 5. ALL of the original factory parts that can be easily reinstalled if you want to return the car to original condition. I carefully labeled the parts and bolts so you will know where everything goes. 6. The Kenne Bell ECM programmer. The car's computer was tuned for the supercharger, using the KenneBell provided hand-held tuner. This device stores the factory tune, so if you want to restore the car to factory specs you merely plug in the tuner and restore. It also saves the high-performance tune, so you can go back to it in the future (if you change your mind AGAIN). ha ha 7. Factory Owners manual 8. 2nd keyless entry FOB 9. Window sticker and dealer order forms/receipts/booklets 10. Husky interior floor liners (front and rear) 11. Splash guards (clip on style- no holes drilled) I'm having difficulty posting additional pics on ebay (frustrating!). One of the pics is the factory window sticker. I'lll retry adding this pic but in the meantime email me if you want it and I can send it that way. The car has the SRT-8 package, and includes these add'l features: Customer Preferred Package 22x SRT Option Group II AM/FM Stereo w/ in dash 6 disk cd/dvd/mp3 Kicker srt high perf speakers 200 watt kicker srt subwoofer 322 watt kicker srt amp Instrument cluster w/ white face, with tachometer 245/45ZR20 255/45zr20 3 season goodyear tires Note- This car hasn't been licensed for the street since 2010, so it will need to be registered. I can hold and and store the car for the buyer for up to 3 months (no additional charge). |

We drive the cars of Furious 7... in Forza Horizon 2 [w/video]
Thu, Apr 9 2015On March 27, Turn 10 Studios, the folks behind the Forza Motorsport series, and Universal Pictures, the studio responsible for the Fast and Furious franchise, gave us a match made in heaven, announcing a "standalone expansion" featuring the two franchises. Called Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast and Furious, it features the cars from the latest film installment, unique missions and the voice-acting of Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, who plays tech guru Tej Parker on camera. A Fast and Furious video game? Seems like a no brainer. It gets better. Rather than limiting the Fast and Furious Edition cars to the expansion game, Turn 10 made them available through one of their (some may say notorious) downloadable content packages. Eight of the expansion's 11 cars were made available for just $4.99 (the only cars that weren't included were the Fast and Furious Edition Nissan GT-R, while the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and McLaren P1 are already available in-game). What's cool ais that the cars featured in both games are visually identical to the vehicles driven by the stars of Furious 7. Each in-game car has an on-screen parallel that plays a role in advancing the film's story. Considering that we're unlikely to score seat time in Dominic Toretto's real Dodge Charger, then, we figured we'd take to the game and test the car in the digital realm. We've got nine little cluster reviews, covering the cars both in the game and how they appear in the movies. And don't worry, there are no major spoilers here. Click on for the cars of Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast and Furious. 1970 Dodge Charger R/T Fast and Furious Edition Supercharged 7.2L V8 / 900 HP / 663 LB-FT The one vehicle that is mandatory in a Fast and Furious video game, Dom's hot-rodded 1970 Dodge Charger, is as much a character in the films as its driver. Furious 7 marks the fourth appearance of this Mopar beast in the series. Not surprisingly it's a handful to drive, wildly quick and with a four-speed transmission packed full of very tall gears. But beyond that, it's arguably the coolest of the FF Edition cars. This black beauty is exactly as it appears in the latest installment of the film, with the video game version featuring intricate little details, like the moving parts on the BDS supercharger. It's an iconic car, and it's treated as such in the game.

2015 Dodge Viper GTC available in 25 million no-cost combos with 1 Of 1 bespoke program
Thu, Jan 8 2015What's the one thing no car can have too much of? Here's a hint – it's not power. It's not efficiency, either, or technology, or even safety. It's exclusivity. It's one reason Rolls-Royce has become a legend building absolutely bespoke motor vehicles, and it's the reason Dodge, of all companies, is offering a new GTC trim level for its Viper supercar. Now, you might be asking what's so special and exclusive about a trim level? Well, in the Viper GTC's case, it gives owners access to a catalog of 8,000 shades of paint for the exterior, 24,000 "hand-painted" custom stripe patterns, 10 different wheel options, 16 interior trims and no fewer than six aerodynamic packages. That results in 25 million different configurations for the 645-horsepower snake. Most shockingly, the customization choices come at no additional cost on the GTC model. And it's only the start. Ordering a GTC will enroll customers in a unique VIP program called Viper Concierge, which according to Dodge, "offers an exclusive point of contact throughout the custom Viper build process." In other words, buyers will be given the means to stay right on top of their car's production, through the 140-to-160-hour painting process, which itself will be fully documented with pictures and through a mobile-friendly website, to the actual construction of their GTC. The Concierge process will start with the ordering stage, which will include Dodge sending customers a paint chip showing the owner's custom choosing, which they can confirm or refuse. Shortly thereafter, Dodge will send buyers a 1:18-scale "speed-form" replica in their chosen custom colors, once again to confirm or deny the build. Once the buyer's color and option selection is locked-in, that car becomes a one-of-one Viper for that year – no other buyer will be permitted to build a Viper to the same specifications. The concierge service also grants access to the Viper Ambassador Owner's Portal, where orderers can track their car's build process, receive weekly updates and share their excitement with (jealous) friends and family. And once the car is complete, it will be fitted with a custom dash plaque identifying its bespoke provenance – the owner can choose to have their name put on the badge, the car's nickname, or whatever they wish (Dodge will also ship each Viper with a second blank plate to include if the original owner sells the car).
