Offered for sale is my 1996 Dodge Viper GTS coupe. This is the very collectable car that Dodge built in 1996 to go
racing. This is the highly sought-after first year the coupe(also known as gen-2 Viper) was offered. Prior to 1996
only roadsters were offered. It is possibly one of the most original 1996 Vipers being offered for sale. It has not
been modified or altered in any way. If you're shopping for one of these cars you already know the specs; 488 cubic
inch aluminum V10 producing 450 horsepower and 490 ft-lbs of torque backed by a Borg Warner T56 6-speed
transmission with 5th and 6th gears as overdrive and putting all the power to the road with a Dana Super 44 rearend
and independent rear suspension. When Road & Track magazine tested a bone stock Viper GTS right off the showroom
floor in 1996 they achieved a top speed of 186 mph. Only 1166 of these 1996 second generation Vipers were ever
built.
I have owned this car since 2004. The current mileage is 27,950 miles. When I went shopping for a Viper in 2004 I
was looking for the most original car I could find, exactly as it was built by Chrysler 8 years earlier and even
then after only 8 years, original cars were hard to find. It never ceases to amaze me how so many owners can't
leave well enough alone and will change any part of the car that they can through their money at, engine,
drivetrain, shifter, exhaust, wheels, tires, not to mention installing every piece of cheap crappy simulated carbon
fiber panels on the interior they can get their hands on. Every modification reducing the originality and
collectability, and value of the car. This car has had several batteries over the course of it's life, oil changes
every spring, the rear tires were replaced once with original OEM Michelin Pilot Sport tires and I just replaced
the brakes front and rear. Even the brakes, I could have possibly achieved better braking from the aftermarket
drilled and slotted rotors but they would not be original to the car so I went with stock rotors. It includes
original owners manual and paperwork, original window sticker and all paperwork I ever got with the car.
The car is in excellent condition. Not perfect. I bought the car from the Southwest, AZ I believe. Since I have
owned it, it has never been stored outdoors, not even one night. It has never been rained on. I wash and dry it
once, maybe twice a year depending on the amount of brake dust that builds up and other than that it just gets
dusted off. It has some very minor, light speckling from road sand and debris on the front surfaces. The front
spoiler / valence has scratching and even a few small cracks at the bottom edge which can't be seen unless you lay
on your back. Keep in mind the bottom of the spoiler is only 2 3/4 inches above the road surface. The front spoiler
on this car will scrape. Sometimes it can't be avoided. It's just something you have to accept if you drive the
car. There are a couple small scratches and knicks that have been carefully touched-up and they would need to be
pointed out to be found. This car has never had a mechanical problem of any kind since I have owned it. I don't
believe it has ever been on a track, certainly not while I owned it the last 12 years. It's never had an accident,
never hit anything, never been apart. A stunning example of how the car was built.

Chrysler recalling 67k trucks with manual transmissions
Tue, Dec 30 2014Earlier this month, Chrysler announced the recall of some 280,000 pickup trucks over concerns that their axles could seize up. Now the automaker has announced an entirely separate recall of another 66,819 trucks over the springs that could break in the clutch ignition interlock switch. The recall affects Dodge Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups, as well as the Dodge Dakota and Mitsubishi Raider. The issue is relevant only to those trucks fitted with manual transmissions, from the 2006 and 2007 model years and manufactured between July 1, 2005, and July 31, 2006. Since a broken spring could, according to statements issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and FCA US LLC (previously known as the Chrysler Group) prevent the vehicle from starting, or cause it to move unintentionally once the ignition kicks over, the automaker will begin notifying owners of the affected vehicles just before Valentine's Day to bring their trucks into their local dealers to have the clutch ignition interlock switch replaced. FCA emphasizes, however, that the unintended movement would only occur "in rare cases" and only "if recommended starting procedures are not followed." Only one such case is known to have occurred, but it did regrettably result in a fatality. Statement: Clutch Ignition Interlock Switch December 29, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is launching a voluntary global recall of an estimated 66,819 older-model pickup trucks equipped with manual transmissions. The Company will replace their clutch ignition interlock switches at no charge to customers. An investigation by FCA US engineers discovered switches in certain model-year 2006 and 2007 pickups may be equipped with spring wire that differs from wire used in previous switches. The alternate wire may break and, as a result, the vehicles may not start. In rare cases, a vehicle may – if recommended starting procedures are not followed – exhibit unintended movement when its ignition key is turned. The Company is aware of one fatality related to this campaign. It stemmed from the single known accident involving this population of vehicles. The recall covers certain Dodge Dakota, Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 and Mitsubishi Raider pickups. Switches with the alternate wire were not used in any vehicles produced before July of 2005, or after June of 2006. The Dakota and Raider are no longer in production.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
2013 Dart GT will hold us over until SRT stokes Dodge's handsome compact
Tue, 08 Jan 2013No, this isn't quite the Dart SRT4 we've been waiting for - and still believe is coming - but as part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show lineup, Dodge will be showing off the slightly sportier Dart GT seen here.
Building on the already well-equipped Limited model, the GT adds performance enhancements including a more powerful engine, 18-inch aluminum wheels, sport suspension calibration, unique front fascia and dual exhaust. Inside, you'll find perforated Nappa leather seats, a heated steering wheel and front seats, dual-zone climate control, remote start (if you spec the automatic transmission), Chrysler's 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen, a seven-inch TFT display in the gauge cluster, and a whole lot more. Optional goodies include hyper black aluminum wheels, a technology group (pushbutton start, keyless go, rain-sensing wipers, blind spot monitoring and smart-beam headlamps), power sunroof, Sirius radio, Garmin navigation, Alpine premium sound and high-intensity discharge headlamps.
Powering the Dart GT is Chrysler's 2.4-liter MultiAir2 four-cylinder engine producing 184 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. That grunt is sent to the front wheels via a standard six-speed manual transmission, but a six-speed automatic 'box is optional.
