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.

Old vs. New: 2014 SRT Viper takes on upgraded 16-year-old Dodge Viper
Fri, 08 Feb 2013It's easy to play the "Would you rather have a New X or an Old Y with a bunch of upgrades?" game more often than we care to admit, but the crew at Car and Driver have taken bench racing to the next level with their latest video. In it, the magazine pits a brand-new 2014 SRT Viper against a highly modified 1997 Dodge Viper GTS. There are 16 years between the time this particular GTS rolled off the production line and when the new car bowed, but that doesn't mean the old snake's owners have been sitting on their hands.
Thanks to a spate of modifications, the GTS offers up a better power to weight ratio than the new machine, but is that enough to overcome the technological leap forward represented by the 2014 Viper? We won't spoil it for you. You'll just have to check out the full clip below for yourself.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R named Road & Track Performance Car of the Year
Mon, Nov 9 2015With a 526-horsepower, 5.2-liter V8 that roars to 8,250 rpm, it's really hard to consider the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R an underdog in any fight. However, the Shelby held the lowest as-tested price and was only middle of the pack in terms of power in Road & Track's 2016 Performance Car of the Year challenge. The 'Stang's numbers clearly didn't tell the whole story about the potent coupe because Ford's muscle car grabbed the title in this year's test. A model needs to be new or significantly updated to be eligible for the honor, and R&T found an impressive slate of eight candidates this year. The challengers included the Bentley Continental GT3-R, Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper ACR, Mercedes-AMG GT S, and Porsche Cayman GT4. The Ferrari 488 GTB was the most expensive of the bunch with an as-tested price of $347,942, which is five times more than the Shelby. Once the group was together, R&T hustled them over curving roads and on the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park. There was a lot to love about the Shelby, even in this impressive crew. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," editor-in-chief Larry Webster said in the announcement of the results. The GT350R joins some great company. Past winners include the Porsche 911 GT3 last year and the Corvette in 2013. For some fantastic photography and the complete appraisal of these performance machines check out R&T's website for the full story.

The article appears in the December/January issue, on newsstands November 17, and on RoadandTrack.com. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," said Larry Webster, editor-in-chief of Road & Track. "Not only does the car have soul and harness so much firepower with such ease, but the real achievement here is that it's so approachable. It's a car you can't help but love." The Mustang Shelby GT350R was the winner by a runaway vote.
FCA issuing software update for 1.4M vehicles to prevent hacking
Fri, Jul 24 2015In the wake of a Jeep Cherokee being hacked remotely while on the road through its Uconnect infotainment system, FCA US is now issuing a software update for 1.4 million vehicles in the United States. Affected customers will receive a USB stick in the mail with the improved version; owners can check this website to see if their cars are affected. A large variety of models with FCA's 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system are affected. They include the 2015 Chrysler 200, 2015 Chrysler 300, 2015 Dodge Charger, and 2015 Dodge Challenger; 2013-2015 Dodge Viper; 2013-2015 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500; 2013-2015 Ram 3500, 4500, and 5500 chassis cab; 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Cherokee; and 2014-2015 Dodge Durango. According to FCA in its announcement, the new software "insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation." As of July 23, the company also "fully tested and implemented within the cellular network" additional security to prevent access to many of a vehicle's systems. FCA US says that it's conducting this campaign out of an abundance of caution and disputes the notion that there's a defect with these vehicles. Beyond the demonstration of the hack in the Cherokee, the automaker says that it's unaware of any other reports of these attacks actually happening. Related Video: Statement: Software Update July 24, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is conducting a voluntary safety recall to update software in approximately 1,400,000 U.S. vehicles equipped with certain radios. The recall aligns with an ongoing software distribution that insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation, which, if unauthorized, constitutes criminal action. Further, FCA US has applied network-level security measures to prevent the type of remote manipulation demonstrated in a recent media report. These measures – which required no customer or dealer actions – block remote access to certain vehicle systems and were fully tested and implemented within the cellular network on July 23, 2015. The Company is unaware of any injuries related to software exploitation, nor is it aware of any related complaints, warranty claims or accidents – independent of the media demonstration.
