Lpe542 Viper Gts 1 Of 8 Ever Built 770 Hp. on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
You are bidding on one of
eight known builds by LPE of a Gen II Viper.
This is most likely the last Gen II they built but you would need to confirm
with LPE. It is a Model year 2000 with 7100 miles on it as of this writing. I bought this car in
December 2012 and proceeded to put additional upgrades into it. The first and foremost is a PROEFI 128 system
installed by A&C Performance who is one of the premier Viper tuners in the
world. If you research the Viper
community you will see he his the guy on the west coast. With the PROEFI we added
traction control which makes the car much better in driving. Previously traction was an issue and even in
3rd or 4th gear you would loose the tires going up an off ramp. Now, it’s just solid full acceleration. The car drive great with this tune set up, doesn't get hot, and the air blows cold. But it is loud and it is fast. This is my 5th Viper I have owned. I'm getting to old to keep a car of this magnitude and plan on getting a more current daily driver, perhaps a HellCat which would be alot more tame. With the EFI Tune the car
pulled 674 RWHP Do the math, with drive-train loss that is about 770 crank HP. Here is a video from when
I picked it up from A&C http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7bR-7rHgyA Additional things
recently added are: New set of Michelin Pilot
tires. Trap door oil system to
the engine oil pan. MGW billet trim pieces
and gas cap (have original pieces still) Short shifter and knob
(have original pieces still) Billet PS bracket Billet steer rack
bushings Rear air diffusers Current upgraded HD
Unitrax half shafts. The engine work at LPE is as
follows: Engine
disassembly & inspection In addition, LPE
installed Penske fully adjustable shocks, RPM Stage VI Transmission, Brembo Big
Brake kit with floating rotors front and rear, new clutch, HD radiator, HRE
18/19 wheel set up. The car passed CA smog
when I bought it but currently has no cats so it won’t anymore therefore buyer is on
his own in that regard. The cats got hot with the dyno pulls and left a small
mark on the side sill. You can see it with the doors open but not so much when
they are closed. Picture attached. In
addition the PROEFI is piggybacked over the OEM computer so that window and
doorlocks work but the check engine light remains on. It can be deleted if needed but never was an
issue for me. If you read though the
forums you will find I am a track junkie. However, this car has not been on the
track. Primarily for two reasons. It is extra clean and I don’t want windshield
and paint chips. If I broke and engine, which I have done before in another
Viper, it would no longer be an LPE car as I’d have to go backwards (stock) on
the engine. This car is clean and it
runs great. The cam in it is huge. Todd spent hours on the tune to make it run
so good. http://www.lingenfelter.com/LPEforumfiles/showthread.php?1869-new-to-me-540-Viper&highlight=viper http://www.lingenfelter.com/engine-packages/dodge-viper-1999-2001

FCA fibbed on sales according to internal report
Mon, Jul 25 2016Following last week's news that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is under investigation by the Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission for allegedly fudging sales figures, a new report in Automotive News says an internal investigation at FCA uncovered misreported sales. According to the AN story, 5,000 to 6,000 vehicles from various FCA brands were reported sold by dealers, but no customers existed for those cars. FCA sales chief Reid Bigland has already put a stop to the practice. One potential reason for the practice was to maintain the company's month-to-month sales increase streak, currently at 75 months. In April, FCA added a lengthy disclaimer to its sales announcements: "FCA US reported vehicle sales represent sales of its vehicles to retail and fleet customers, as well as limited deliveries of vehicles to its officers, directors, employees and retirees. Sales from dealers to customers are reported to FCA US by dealers as sales are made on an ongoing basis through a new vehicle delivery reporting system that then compiles the reported data as of the end of each month. "Sales through dealers do not necessarily correspond to reported revenues, which are based on the sale and delivery of vehicles to the dealers. In certain limited circumstances where sales are made directly by FCA US, such sales are reported through its management reporting system." FCA did not provide comment to Automotive News.

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
Old Dodge vans are big in Japan
Fri, Sep 23 2016One of the great things about Japan and its car culture is that it plays host to some of the most unusual and unique vehicle trends in the world. Whether it's neon-clad Lamborghinis or luxury sedans with insane negative camber, the country always seems to have something new up its sleeve. One of the most surprising trends is track-ready, full-size Dodge vans called Dajibans, and the video above presents a great look at these absurd machines. This isn't the first time we've covered these racing Dodge vans, but it's a subculture too awesome not to merit a second look. For one thing, just as American fans of Japanese cars here like to use JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) parts on their cars, the owners of these Dodges like to use American parts. Many of the vans feature Little Tree air fresheners inside and even have Spectre air filters on the intakes. Who would've thought there would be a market for Autozone's bread and butter auto accessories? Plus, these vans get some other impressive mods. Notice that some vans that appear to have stock metal bumpers, but they're actually fiberglass replicas in the original shape and given a chrome-like paint job. The video's host, an Australian drift fanatic named Alexi who lives in Japan and runs website called Noriyaro.com, gets some great onboard footage, too. One of the vans he rides along in is powered by a generally stock 318 Dodge V8, and still has the original automatic transmission and column shifter. Impressively, the driver manages to manually shift it without grabbing the wrong gear, and even rev matches the shifts. Alexi explains that the driver can catch neutral in-between gears three and two, so there's a brief moment where he can blip the throttle. There's even more information in the video, and it's all fantastic fun to watch. If you decide you haven't seen enough of Dajibans, you can also check out our previous post on it, which is more polished and provides some history and context to the trend.
