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

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
- Lingenfelter CNC cylinder head porting
- Three angle valve job, set spring heights
- Porting and polishing of intake manifold
- Computer balanced rotating assembly
- Custom V10 aluminum block preparation
- Billet steel Moldex crankshaft - 4.250" stroke
- Oliver billet steel connecting rods 6.250"
- File fit plasma moly piston rings
- Lingenfelter designed Competition Cams hydraulic roller camshaft
- Custom 1.7 ratio roller rockers
- Larger stainless steel one piece valves Competition Cams valve springs, titanium retainers, valve locks
- JE Forged pistons & HD piston pins
- Heavy duty rod and main bearings
- 70 mm billet throttle bodies
- Properly sized injectors
- Stainless steel headers
- Corsa stainless steel cat back exhaust system
- Chassis dyno testing after installation
- Gaskets, spark plugs, oil and fluids
- Reassembly and blueprinting of the engine
- Professional installation, testing and tuning
- 2 year/ 24,000 mile warranty
- Lingenfelter certificate of authenticity

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.

Chrysler to reveal next minivan at 2016 Detroit Auto Show

Tue, Jan 13 2015

All eyes in the industry are presently fixed on this year's Detroit Auto Show, but over at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, they're already looking towards next year's show. That's when the Italian-American automaker says it'll unveil the next Chrysler minivan. The announcement, made on the FCA Corporate Twitter feed, promises that the next Pentastar minivan will debut in January 2016, which (along with the hashtag NAIAS) suggests the next-generation family hauler will debut at the Detroit show next year. Auburn Hills is expected to replace the current Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan with two all-new models: one keeping the minivan form, and the other shifting into more of a crossover. Just which nameplate gets the new form factor, and which will debut at Cobo next year, we don't know. Odds are good that it'll be the minivan not the CUV, though. Chrysler's minivan has been a winning business for the Detroit automaker, pioneering the segment, outselling the competition and marketing around the world under more brands and nameplates than just about anything else in the industry. The vehicle has been sold as the Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, Chrysler Voyager, Plymouth Voyager, Lancia Voyager, Ram Cargo Van and Volkswagen Routan, to say nothing of long-wheelbase Grand versions of many of the aforementioned nameplates.

2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat

Wed, 29 Oct 2014

Including all-wheel-drive models, there are ten versions of the 2015 Dodge Charger. The tenth variant - better described as the ten-tenths variant and the topmost model - is this Charger SRT Hellcat.
Superficially, you already know what it is: take the massively powerful Hellcat engine that's Frankensteined into the Dodge Challenger and stitch it into the recently facelifted Charger sedan.
Oh, but that would be superficial knowledge indeed. Russ Ruedisueli, vehicle line executive and head engineer for SRT, claims the Charger Hellcat is, "The industry's most irreverent four-door supercar." We looked up the word "irreverent" in the Oxford dictionaries, and it turns out the word doesn't mean "707 horsepower," nor "650 pound-feet of torque" nor "3.7-second 0-60 time, and seats five adults." It does mean, "Showing a lack of respect for people or things that are generally taken seriously."

Chrysler minivans under investigation for stalling after fuel refill

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at least one man has reported that his 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan stalled unexpectedly on the highway shortly after being refueled. The unidentified man who contacted NHTSA regarding the issue cited as many as eight similar instances reported by other drivers.
NHTSA has announced that it will launch an inquiry into this issue, which could affect as many as 160,000 minivans from Dodge and Chrysler that were sold in 2007 (or more, if a problem is found that extends to additional models years, we'd assume). As of yet, there's no formal investigation, let alone a recall, on these vans, as the agency is merely determining if further action is needed.
Two months ago, Chrysler recalled nearly 700,000 vehicles, the majority of which were minivans, from the 2008-2010 model years to replace ignition switches after an investigation found that their weak springs and detent positions could fool a driver into thinking the car was in the "Run" position, when it's actually in the "Accessory" position.
