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.

Watch this Dodge Viper get clawed to death

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

There's a scene in the James Bond movie, Casino Royale, where Daniel Craig's Agent 007 is captured by villain Le Chiffre, played by Mads Mikkelsen. Le Chiffre tortures Bond in a scene that is rather difficult to watch (especially for blokes) and impossible to describe on these digital pages (Google at your own risk). This video is the automotive equivalent of the Casino Royale torture scene.
It shows a Dodge Viper - a late, first-generation GTS judging by the center-exit exhausts - getting assaulted by a giant piece of heavy equipment. The large claw shows no mercy on the V10-powered sports car, rending its muscular curves into pieces and then running it over, just for good measure. It's a painful video to watch (and hear!), made worse because we don't know what the Viper did to deserve such a fate. About a third of the way through the video, the cameraman indicates that the man with the claw is a new operator from Chrysler, and it appears there may be some fire damage, but beyond that, we don't have much to go on.
Scroll down for the video but be warned, it isn't for the faint of heart.

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Motorweek'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.
