Up for sell is my 2002 Dodge Viper GTS Coupe. This car was a classic the day it rolled off the assembly line. Twelve years later there is still NOTHING like a second generation Viper GTS.
The 2002 was the final year for the Gen 2 Viper, a much more sorted performance car than the Gen 1 that it replaced in 1996. In 2001, the braking systems were improved to better compete with the world's most capable supercars. Subsequent Gen 3 and 4 cars became more refined and laden with creature comforts to distract from the raw edge of this car. The stripe-less red 2002 GTS is THE Viper to own. Vipers are for drivers who crave torque and want to feel as closely connected to it as possible. It is truly a supercar by virtually any definition other than price. And it is a distinctly American Supercar. Now let me tell you about the special features of this car. The paint is red. The interior is black. The tires are wide. And the motor is big. The tail pipes are fat and it makes a lot of noise when you press hard on the throttle. It gets really bad gas mileage. There is nothing subtle about this car. The 490 foot pounds of torque are seemingly available from near idle. The rush of power from any gear is exhilarating. Downshift and stand on it and it can get scary fast for the uninitiated. Let off the gas and that gurgle out back will remind you of the serious potential pushing the pedal in the other direction will deliver. It is a beast. This Viper GTS starts right up and runs cool at 190' all day long. It idles calmly. The T56 six speed gearbox shifts with authority, the robust clutch takes up smoothly but is more than up for the task when called upon. It is clad with fresh staggered BF Goodrich G-Force rubber; 275/35ZR18's in front and an incredible 335/30ZR18's in the back. It has upgraded Stop-Tech brakes that are strong and fade free. The air blows cold and all the controls work as intended. The Alpine radio/CD sounds good but who cares when you have that 8.0 liter 450 bhp normally aspirated ram air V10 to serenade you. Despite its amazing performance capabilities the car is easy to drive around town, even docile if you have the restraint. There are no real blind spots and it soaks up bumps surprisingly well for a track ready car. Telephone conversations are a genuine possibility at cruising speeds. The big danger is the rubber-neck'ers in the next lane. From the fellow enthusiast to the soccer mom in the minivan; no one can resist the eye candy that is a red Viper GTS. From a collect-ability standpoint these cars, unless seriously dogged, represent a great buying opportunity. A lower mileage car (less than 20k) can be substantially more $$ whereas a higher mileage car (higher than 60k) is only marginally less $$. Owing to the simplicity of the driveline, these cars live up to their reputation as "bullet proof". The GTS is the car to own, not an RT10. Don't let the 44,000 miles on the odometer of this car deter you. This is a up trending collector that you can DRIVE and enjoy 5,000 miles a year without apology and never lose money. This car is in Rowlett, Texas 75088 and is offered at a buy it now of $36,800. |

2014 Dodge Durango priced from $29,795*
Wed, 14 Aug 2013With all the new updates the Dodge Durango is getting for 2014, one thing that Dodge isn't changing on its big SUV is the starting price. Just like the current model year, the 2014 Dodge Durango will be priced from $29,795 (*not including $995 for destination).
This price is for the base SXT model, but the 2014 Durango is also offered in a new Limited trim level (replacing the Crew) as well as the sporty R/T and the luxurious Citadel. The Durango Limited starts at $35,995 (an increase of $800 over the 2013 Crew), while the R/T now starts at $38,995 (up $2,500). The top-of-the-line Durango Citadel will start at $40,995 - an increase of $1,000.
The many improvements made to the 2014 Durango include revised exterior styling, added in-cabin tech and an eight-speed automatic transmission (expected to return better fuel economy). Dodge is saying that the V6 models will get 25 miles per gallon on the highway while V8 models are expected to score 23-mpg highway, but there are no official EPA numbers to report yet. Scroll down for the full press release.
Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
