1998 Dodge Viper Gts on 2040-cars
Erie, Colorado, United States
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED EMAIL ME AT: bartbccronenberg@watfordfans.com . 1998 Dodge Viper GTS Coupe. Silver with Blue stripes. One of a kind Turbo Viper. I am the second owner, this car
was bought brand new by the guy I bought it from. He is a 75 year old dentist and took amazing care of this car.
When the car had roughly 30,000 miles on it he sent it to Super Viper Systems inc. in Chicago Illinois to perform
the transformation. SVS is now closed but before the old man retired they were the premier Viper builder in the
country. Look them up they are well known and thought of in the viper community. The car is now a 1000hp beast of a
super car. Will do well over 200 and handle it with ease. Has Motec traction control and is so easy to drive. I
will include a video link below.Here is a breakdown of what has been done:
Trans:
The trans was sent to John Denato to be rebuilt in order to handle the new power the engine would produce. If you
don't know who John Denato is just google him. He is the man to go to when it comes to Viper transmissions. The
trans is more then capable of handling the 1000+ hp. A Kevlar clutch and Billet Aluminum flywheel were also
installed. Trans cooler and remote trans oil pump were also installed. At high speeds the g forces pull all the oil
to the back of the trans which starves the front bearing. There is a switch on the console that activates the
remote trans oil pump and recircs the trans oil to the front bearing for periods of sustained high speed driving.
Everything on this car was made to be driven at 200+ and handle it!!
Engine:
The engine was torn down and completely machined and the block was O ringed. Balanced and blue printed with 8.4 JE
pistons Custom big valve aluminum heads, T&D Rockers, Comp cam w/ roller lifters, Individual coil packs per
cylinder. Accusump oil system. Squires rear mount turbo system was installed with its own oil pump and
intercooler. 4 core aluminum radiator with dual fans. Custom made headers from SVS that are plumbed to the turbo
and then to a custom single exit center rear exhaust that sounds absolutely amazing. Videos can not do the sound
justice. This car turns EVERY head when it goes by. Sounds like a pissed off indy car :) The engine is controlled
by a MoTec management system complete with traction control and flex fuel system. Car is currently tuned to run on
E85 at 12 psi of boost. There is a knob on the dash that has additional tunes and boost levels loaded in. The car
is still tuned for sea level so it is running a bit rich at the elevation here in Colorado. The engine is capable
of handling plenty more boost on race fuel but this thing is already a monster at 12psi. It is putting around 840hp
to the wheels on this set up.
Brakes:
The brakes were also upgraded. Up front there is 8 piston Brembo big brake kit complete with stainless brake lines.
Suspension:
KW clubsport coilover suspension was installed. The car was corner balanced and the coilovers were all custom
tuned accordingly. Again everything on this car was built to do 200+ and handle it.
Rear:
3:55 Gears. 1000hp half shafts. Drive shaft loop. Half shaft loops.
Misc:
BBS 3 piece 18"wheels ( Right rear wheel has some curb rash on the lip)
Brand new Hoosier R7 Road racing tires. Super sticky!!!
Carbon fiber cowl
Shroth 5 point harness'
Shift light
Boost gauge
The list is endless on this car. There is over 200k that went into the build of this car and it shows. I am sure I
have forgotten some things. This car is absolutely amazing and built very well. One look at this car and its
condition and it is obvious this car has never been raced or beaten on. This is not your typical car that someone
just threw a turbo on and cranked up the boost. This car was built with NO expense spared and the list above proves
that. I can not stress how nice the fit and finish is on this car. This thing idles through town with great street
manners but when you put your foot down hold on!!! This thing is a time machine!!! By far the fastest Viper I have
driven. The Motec traction control works flawlessly and is amazing, you can easily put your wife behind the wheel
with no worries The sound this thing makes is intoxicating and must be heard in person to be appreciated. I have
some documentation on the build but not all of it. However I do have contact info for the guys that built it as
well as the original owner who commissioned the build. The buyer will get all this info with the car.

Zombie cars: Discontinued vehicles that aren't dead yet
Thu, Jan 6 2022Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape. Â BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021. Â Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year. Â Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.
Fiat Chrysler posts record Q3 profit thanks to U.S. trucks and Jeep
Wed, Oct 28 2020MILAN — A rebound in car production in Fiat Chrysler on Wednesday reported record third-quarter earnings as production returned to nearly pre-pandemic levels. The Italian-American automaker, which is finalizing its full merger with French rival PSA Peugeot, reported a net profit in the three months ending Sept. 30 of $1.4 billion (1.2 billion euros). That compares with a loss of 179 million euros a year earlier. The carmaker reported adjusted earnings before tax and interest in North America of 2.5 billion euros. That offset deepening losses in Europe, Asia and at its Maserati luxury marquee. Latin America, the only other region to post a profit, saw it narrow by two-thirds to 46 million euros. “Our record results were driven by our teamÂ’s tremendous performance in North America,” CEO Mike Manley said in a statement. Overall, the carmaker said global earnings before tax and interest were a record 2.3 billion euros despite a 6% fall in revenues to 26 billion euros. Global shipments were down 3%, due largely to plant retooling in North American to produce the new Jeep Grand Wagoneer in the luxury SUV segment and the discontinuation of the Dodge Grand Caravan classic minivan. Fiat Chrysler announced earlier Wednesday that its merger with PSA Peugeot is on track to be finalized by the end of the first quarter of 2021, as planned. To meet regulatory concerns, the French carmaker is selling a small stake in a components maker to get below 40% ownership. The new automaker, to be called Stellantis, will be the fourth biggest producer in the world. Earnings/Financials Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM Citroen Peugeot
Dodge Charger Pursuit takes Tesla interior approach
Fri, Sep 11 2015A police car's computer is just as integral to its duties as a set of lights and sirens. The popular approach for these systems is to grab something like a Panasonic Toughbook laptop, add a big, bulky tray to hold it, and use this inelegant setup for running plates and doing all the other things a cop needs to do while on the road. The downside, besides simple aesthetics, is that this arrangement robs the officer's shotgun-riding partner from legroom. Dodge, though, has come up with a far more elegant and functional solution. Taking a page out of Tesla and Volvo's book, Dodge has replaced the five-inch UConnect display and laptop mount in the Charger Pursuit police car with an enormous 12.1-inch, portrait-format touchscreen display. Called, UConnect 12.1, the new system doesn't do away with the old fashioned computer outright. Instead it moves the bulky unit to the trunk, where it can connect to the display via an ethernet cable. This is good for multiple reasons. First, there are no pricey installation or upfitting charges, like there are for most laptop carriages. Secondly, the plug-and-play nature of the new UConnect system won't require the department to buy new laptops. And third, there's no need to retrain officers, since the only thing that's really changing is the input. While the Charger Pursuit will continue to offer redundant audio and HVAC controls, the 12.1-inch display can, at the press of a "button" split to display Fiat Chrysler's familiar 8.4-inch display. Make one more tap on the screen, and the police-issue laptop can be managed through the full touchscreen. The touchscreen will also display a menu bar at the top of the page, which can easily be edited by officers. All it takes is a simple drag and drop from the application menu to the top of the display. According to Dodge, the touchscreen will even play nice when its operator is wearing gloves. "As America's high-performance police vehicle, Dodge Charger Pursuit is going big for 2016, offering a massive, Uconnect touchscreen system that streamlines a law enforcement officer's computer system with our easy-to-use Uconnect system – on an all-new laptop-sized 12.1-inch touchscreen display," said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge and SRT's president and CEO.
