Offering for sale my black SRT-6 hardtop coupe. 42,245 miles (as of January 1, 2014). 

It is not my daily driver (DD) so it gets a lot of babying (it gets washed more than it gets driven these days). It gets the cushy spot in my garage to keep it out of the elements.  

Located just outside of Washington DC in northern Virginia. 

Asking $16,999 OBO. 

This is a 400hp car. Minor modifications that do not impact the longevity of the vehicle or its components have easily turned the original 330hp/310lb-ft torque into roughly 400 hp/465lb-ft torque (approx). Modifications include a Eurocharged Performance ECU tune and TCU tune, a Needswings Single CAI, and a Sprintbooster all of which are removable reducing the horsepower down to the stock 330hp. 

This is also a safe car. Front and side air bags driver and passenger for one. When Chrysler and Mercedes engineers designed it based upon the R170 Mercedes SLK platform they made the body roughly 30% more rigid. In a crash test this car was given 5 stars by NHTSA. On top of that, it can out maneuver anything else on the road and stop on a dime.

The car is in great shape for a 2005. I can provide you a scan of the CarFax upon request as of the time I purchased it in late 2011. I am the third owner and have only driven it 7,500 miles during my ownership. 

I have all of my receipts and records since ownership, including proof of 0w-40 Mobil1 oil changes. Replaced IC Pump around 38K miles with the stock Bosch component.

I am not in a bind, not forced to sell, this is completely voluntary so I am going to take a no pressure approach to selling this and expect interested parties to do the same.  

The reason for selling is that I just got into law school and plan to purchase another vehicle for commuting.

Fiat Chrysler's London offices will be small, with financial focus

Tue, 20 May 2014

Fiat Chrysler's decision to locate its new corporate headquarters in jolly old London won't herald a sprawling relocation effort. Instead, it's very likely that the FCA outfit will be a small one, primarily focused on finance.
The report comes from Automotive News Europe, which claims FCA's London office will employ about 50 people with backgrounds in finance. CEO Sergio Marchionne and Fiat Group Chairman John Elkann will both have offices at the corporate headquarters, as well.
ANE cites an anonymous source that claims the people employed at the London office will focus primarily on treasury operations. It's unlikely that FCA will take on any additional employees specifically for its UK offices. That said, FCA isn't likely to downsize either its Turin or Auburn Hills offices once London comes online.

The Aficianauto sets his lens on Black Beauty

Fri, 24 Jan 2014

In the short time we've known about the works of The Aficionauto, we've become fans of the video series highlighting some of the most famous and iconic movie/television cars ever. While past episodes featured cars from 1980s movies and tv shows, the latest video shows off the 1965 Chrysler Imperial affectionately known as Black Beauty We saw the Imperial for the first time at the 2009 Comic-Con; the car actually used in the 2011 action comedy The Green Hornet.
Of the 30 cars made for the movie, host Chris Rutkowski says that Sony only preserved two, and if you're a collector of movie cars, this one is currently being sold for $165,000. Scroll down to watch as Rutkowski takes Black Beauty for a spin through Beverly Hills, CA with its assortment of exposed weapons including the hood-mounted machine guns, numerous missiles and flame thrower.

FCA's Pentastar V6 gets more power, efficiency for 2016

Wed, Sep 2 2015

Already a vital member of FCA's powertrain lineup, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is receiving major efficiency improvements for 2016. Thanks to a massive amount of new tech attached to the mill, fuel economy is up six percent, and torque below 3,000 rpm jumps nearly 15 percent. The updates arrive first in the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but they should proliferate to other models eventually. At least in the Grand Cherokee, the tweaks push power up five horsepower to 295 ponies. FCA's engineers went through the Pentastar from top to bottom to eke out as much efficiency as possible. For example, there's now a two-speed variable-valve lift system that can run in low- or high-lift modes. This upgrade is responsible for 2.7-percent better economy, the company claims. A new intake manifold with longer runners and updated variable-valve times also helps boost the torque output. Further improvements come from pushing the compression ratio to 11.3:1, from 10.2:1 before. Perhaps most impressive is that despite all of the innovations, the latest Pentastar actually weighs four pounds less than the current version. Beyond the Pentastar improvements, all of the FCA US gasoline engines, except for the Viper's 8.4-liter V10, will be E15-compatible for 2016. The company says that it wants to be ready for the higher ethanol content fuel's greater use in the near future.
