Red Viper Gts. Final Year Of Iconic Gen-2 Viper; True American Supercar. on 2040-cars
Rowlett, Texas, United States
|
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. |

Mopar '15 performance kit now available for Dodge Charger R/T
Tue, Jun 9 2015Dodge is releasing a new Mopar performance kit for the 2015 Charger R/T sedan, offering up just 50 examples of the dealer-installed upgrade package. Only a select few dealers will sell the kit, and they'll do so at a price of $3,550. As per usual, the Mopar kit makes both performance and aesthetic changes. For the 5.7-liter Hemi V8, upgrades include the Stage 1 Scat Pack kit, which adds a cat-back exhaust and cold-air intake, good for 18 additional horsepower and 18 more pound-feet of torque. There's also a new strut tower brace and a "premium fuel powertrain control module." Aesthetic changes are remarkably simple, with matte black body-side decals being the only notable addition to the exterior. In the cabin, there's a serialized dash plaque and new door sill plates. This is the sixth Mopar special edition since 2009. If you wish to join this fairly exclusive fraternity of Dodge owners, dealers are currently accepting orders, with deliveries slated to start later this month. Scroll down for the official press release from Dodge.

FCA recalls 570,000 SUVs from Jeep and Dodge over fire woes
Sun, Dec 27 2015Fiat Chrysler US has issued two recalls covering a total of about 570,000 Jeep and Dodge models. The first concerns vanity mirror wiring in the Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011 and 2012 model years, and in Dodge Durango units built before September 12, 2012. The automaker recalled almost 900,000 units last year to repair the issue, then faced more issues this year when the fires continued in repaired vehicles. This new recall seeks to resolve the issue, FCA saying that the post-recall fires happened in a tiny percentage of vehicles equipped with a specific wiring package. This recall is for 352,831 total units in the US, another 26,478 in Canada, 13,037 in Mexico, and 84,330 internationally. No injuries or deaths have been reported. FCA says it will inform customers as to when they can schedule a service visit to remedy the issue. The second recall takes aim at 60,107 examples of the Jeep Compass and Patriot from the 2015 model year in the US, plus 5,755 in Canada, 3,351 in Mexico, and 23,995 in other markets. Those models could suffer from an out-of-position clamp on the power steering fluid line. The error could allow fluid to leak, increasing the risk of a fire if the fluid ends up on a hot surface. In the case of a complete loss of fluid, drivers will need to use a lot more effort to steer. The automaker reports no injuries or accidents, and will advise customers when to head to the dealer for service.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat en route to dealers
Sat, 15 Nov 2014Get ready, world: The 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has officially been unleashed. But rather than just have the big coupes quietly arrive at dealers, Dodge has released this video, showing Hellcats loading up onto car carriers at Fiat-Chrysler's Brampton, Ontario plant. And yes, that is Mötley Crüe's "Kickstart My Heart" playing in the background. Of course.
This really is worth all the fanfare, though, considering Dodge will sell its ridiculously powerful, supercharged machine for just $59,995. And if the Challenger isn't quite up your alley, just remember, there's an equally powerful, 204-mph, four-door Charger Hellcat on the way...
