1996 Dodge Viper Gts on 2040-cars

Offered for sale is my 1996 Dodge Viper GTS coupe. This is the very collectable car that Dodge built in 1996 to go
racing. This is the highly sought-after first year the coupe(also known as gen-2 Viper) was offered. Prior to 1996
only roadsters were offered. It is possibly one of the most original 1996 Vipers being offered for sale. It has not
been modified or altered in any way. If you're shopping for one of these cars you already know the specs; 488 cubic
inch aluminum V10 producing 450 horsepower and 490 ft-lbs of torque backed by a Borg Warner T56 6-speed
transmission with 5th and 6th gears as overdrive and putting all the power to the road with a Dana Super 44 rearend
and independent rear suspension. When Road & Track magazine tested a bone stock Viper GTS right off the showroom
floor in 1996 they achieved a top speed of 186 mph. Only 1166 of these 1996 second generation Vipers were ever
built.
I have owned this car since 2004. The current mileage is 27,950 miles. When I went shopping for a Viper in 2004 I
was looking for the most original car I could find, exactly as it was built by Chrysler 8 years earlier and even
then after only 8 years, original cars were hard to find. It never ceases to amaze me how so many owners can't
leave well enough alone and will change any part of the car that they can through their money at, engine,
drivetrain, shifter, exhaust, wheels, tires, not to mention installing every piece of cheap crappy simulated carbon
fiber panels on the interior they can get their hands on. Every modification reducing the originality and
collectability, and value of the car. This car has had several batteries over the course of it's life, oil changes
every spring, the rear tires were replaced once with original OEM Michelin Pilot Sport tires and I just replaced
the brakes front and rear. Even the brakes, I could have possibly achieved better braking from the aftermarket
drilled and slotted rotors but they would not be original to the car so I went with stock rotors. It includes
original owners manual and paperwork, original window sticker and all paperwork I ever got with the car.
The car is in excellent condition. Not perfect. I bought the car from the Southwest, AZ I believe. Since I have
owned it, it has never been stored outdoors, not even one night. It has never been rained on. I wash and dry it
once, maybe twice a year depending on the amount of brake dust that builds up and other than that it just gets
dusted off. It has some very minor, light speckling from road sand and debris on the front surfaces. The front
spoiler / valence has scratching and even a few small cracks at the bottom edge which can't be seen unless you lay
on your back. Keep in mind the bottom of the spoiler is only 2 3/4 inches above the road surface. The front spoiler
on this car will scrape. Sometimes it can't be avoided. It's just something you have to accept if you drive the
car. There are a couple small scratches and knicks that have been carefully touched-up and they would need to be
pointed out to be found. This car has never had a mechanical problem of any kind since I have owned it. I don't
believe it has ever been on a track, certainly not while I owned it the last 12 years. It's never had an accident,
never hit anything, never been apart. A stunning example of how the car was built.

Get a peek at the Dodge Demon in the new Fate of the Furious trailer
Thu, Mar 2 2017Will all of the news that comes out, Thursdays should now be referred to as Demon Days (no relation to the 2005 album by Gorillaz), at least until April. In addition to this morning's news on the Dodge Demon's Launch Assist and beefed-up components, the automaker released a trailer/commercial for The Fate of the Furious that shows a Dodge barrage and a few quick looks at the new car. The film, which opens days after the Demon's debut at the 2017 New York International Auto Show, is packed full of Dodge, SRT, and FCA products. While the few cars shown in the garage look superficially like Demons, they appear to just be standard Hellcats – the hood is wrong, and they are missing the fender flares. On the other hand, the ones in the trailer's chase scene appear to be the real deal, or at least made to look like it, with the big AirGrabber hood scoop and wide-body fender flares. We've seen a few of these cars already on the film's set, so this is no real surprise. The ad itself is a bit strange. The shots of the woman standing in front of the SRT lineup appear to be cut into footage from the film, so she's not actually talking to the cast in these scenes. That's why a narrow-body car bursts through the wall and becomes a wide-body Demon-like thing. Well, the Fast and Furious franchise was built on bad dialog and over the top car stunts, so par for the course? The film debuts on April 14, and expect the Demon around that time, too.

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board
Wed, Apr 3 2019Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
