Up for sale is my 2007 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona.  This car is #268 out of 1,500 made during 2007.  I am the first and only owner of the vehicle.  It was purchased brand new back in May of 2007 and the title is clean (I own the vehicle---title in hand).  Currently, the vehicle has 33,850 miles on the odometer, but the drivetrain actually has significantly less due to all of the modifications, which are detailed below.  The car came with all options from the factory except the rear seat DVD player.

 

The car originally had the standard 5.7L Hemi engine, but it has been swapped out for a fully forged 6.5L stroker motor that was purpose-built for a boosted application.  The shortblock was blueprinted and assembled by ERL Performance, and it utilizes a K1 forged crankshaft, K1 H-beam forged rods, ARP mains, and Wiseco 9:1 forged pistons.  The cam is also designed to work with a supercharger, as it is a 228/236 on a 116 LSA.  On top of that, the car has ported and polished street/strip heads from PWR (with PSI 1511 springs, 2.05/1.60 stainless valves, titanium retainers, bronze guides, viton seals, machined locks, and hardened locators).  When the motor swap was performed, brand new SRT lifters, forged pushrods, a new timing set, a 6.1 oil pump, and all new bolts/gaskets were installed as well to keep everything brand new.  The car has Dynatech long-tube headers and gutted cats, flowing into a Borla “125” catback exhaust system with rolled 5” tips.  The car is set up for DMH cutouts as well.  I still have the factory shortblock that the car came with, should the new owner truly desire to have that as well (can be worked out for an additional price if desired, otherwise I am holding onto it for a future project).  All of the motor and transmission work was performed by Erik Storms of BFNY Performance---the best builder in the business, hands down.  His reputation precedes him, so the car was built with the utmost care and professionalism that you can possibly get from a modern Hemi installer.  The motor swap was completed when the car had 29,246 miles on it, so the engine alone only has roughly 4,600 miles on it----practically brand new.

 

On top of the motor sits is a 2.8L Kenne Bell supercharger.  The blower was both purchased from and installed/tuned by Tim Barth of Mr. Norm’s Performance in Rockford, IL.  This shop specializes in Kenne Bell distribution and installation, so once again the install of this supercharger was performed by some of the best in the business.  With a 15lb pulley on, the car put down 648rwhp (that’s roughly 750 crank horsepower).  The tune was backed down to 11lbs of boost to make it easier to manage for street driving, and that tune makes roughly 585rwhp as the car sits (approximately 715 crank horsepower).  The blower was installed about a year after the motor when the car had 30,464 miles on it, so even the supercharger is practically brand new as well.  Fueling this setup is an in-tank 255 Walbro fuel pump, a Kenne Bell boost-a-pump, -4 braided feed lines from tank to rails, billet fuel rails with front crossover, and SRT4 stage II injectors.

 

In July of 2012, a new high performance transmission was installed in order to support all of the engine modifications.  The transmission was built by Enhanced Transmissions out of Cleveland, OH with all upgraded clutches and was again installed by BFNY.  The car has a completely custom 3100 billet stall converter as well, which was both designed and built by “BuilderBill” of Paramount Performance to work with a twin screw supercharger.  Connecting the transmission to the rear end is a two-piece chromoly driveshaft from Paramount Performance as well.  The stock 2.82 open rear differential was swapped out for a Getrag 3.73 limited slip rear end, which is essentially what most Challengers would later come with from the factory (beefier axles and a taller gear ratio).

 

The car has a Wilwood big brake kit installed at all four corners for stopping power.  The kit was purchased from TCE Performance Products back when the car had roughly 14K miles on it.  In front, the kit utilizes 6-piston W6A calipers (with black powdercoat) on top of 14” two-piece, lightweight Wilwood rotors.  In back, the kit utilizes 4-piston Wilwood calipers (with black powdercoat) on top of 13” two-piece, lightweight Wilwood rotors.  Both front and rear kits utilize stainless steel braided brake lines as well.

 

I originally installed Eibach coilovers on the car when it had roughly 10K miles on it.  I have since upgraded to an air ride suspension system, but the Eibach struts are still used with this kit.  The Eibach springs were swapped for air bags from Universal Air Suspension, who makes a phenomenal kit designed specifically for the Charger.  There is a 5-gallon air tank, two Viair 480C air compressors, and all of the necessary valves installed in the spare tire well of the trunk, completely hidden from view.  The air ride is controlled from a 3-switch panel that fits in the ash tray, just below the radio, for ease and convenience of use.  The car will sit less than an inch off the ground if you air it down when parked, otherwise it can maintain a factory ride-height for driving purposes as you see fit.

 

Exterior-wise, the car has undergone a complete transformation.  All of the major bodywork (widebody, suicide doors, and vented front fenders) was performed by none other than the Widebody King himself---Topo of TS Designs in Paramount, CA.  This is NOT a pre-fabbed kit.  All of the body work is hand-crafted metal from start to finish.  The car was in his possession for just shy of a year to get it to the point that you see now.  The widebody resulted in approximately a 4” flare to either side of the rear end, starting near the taillight on each side and extending all the way down the middle of each rear door.  The front fenders are stock Charger fenders that have been modified to include the vent (they are NOT fiberglass or any other cheap replacement material, but rather factory metal fenders).  The suicide hinges were purchased from the best in the business as well---Street Dreams by Ross out of Michigan.  He makes the best and strongest parts for suicide applications, and he came highly recommended by Topo as well.  This is the type of body surgery you only want to do ONCE and never have to worry about it again, so that is exactly what was accomplished here: the best parts installed by the best people.

 

To fill out the widebody, the car has completely custom USW Forged “D-LUX” wheels.  These are three-piece wheels with a gloss black/Sublime painted center, chrome outer barrels, and black powdercoated inner barrels.  The front wheels are 22x9.5” with 265/30/22 Pirelli tires, and the rears are 22x12” (8” outer barrel and 4” inner) wrapped in massive 335/25/22 Pirelli tires.  Nothing was spared on this wheel/tire combo.  The wheels were cut perfectly to clear the brakes without spacers, and the fit and finish is second to none.

 

The car has a front fascia and side skirts made by Grip Tuning.  The side skirts had to be modified a bit to accommodate the widebody, to be expected.  The car maintains the factory Sublime Metallic paint that it originally came with, but it has a bit more flake added to the mix than factory.  From more than 10 feet away, you can’t even tell it’s any different from the stock color, but get up close to it or catch it in the right light and the flake will really pop.  The car has some airbrush work done on the outside (hood, quarter panels, trunk  lid, spoiler) as well as under the hood.  All of the remaining prep and primary paint/clear/finishing work was performed by Addison Auto Body in Addison, IL---again, complete masters of their craft.  The car is absolutely perfect from bumper to bumper (absolutely no dents, dings, or scratches of any kind).  The car has 40% tint all the way around, and a 15% banner across the front window, which ties in with the gloss black roof and painted window trim nicely.

 

Under the hood, the engine bay has been completely transformed, largely due to all of the billet aluminum add-ons from Billet Technology out of South Florida.  They produced the black anodized valve covers, coil packs covers, and under-hood cover/cap kit.  They also did all of the “HULK” engraving that you see on these parts as well.  The painted reservoirs, ABS cover, and firewall cover were done in color-matched Sublime paint as well.  The radiator cover (which carries the flame/stripe combo under the hood when it is popped for shows) will come along with the car too.

 

The interior of the car remains largely untouched from the factory.  The steering wheel trim and gauge rings were painted Sublime to match the radio bezel, and the shifter handle was swapped for a black billet version.  Other than that, the seats, door panels, headliner, carpeting, etc. all remain as they were from the factory.  I was not willing to sacrifice comfort inside the car for interior car-show features, so aside from the sound system work, the interior is completely stock.  The factory navigation unit was swapped for a Pioneer AVIC-F900BT NAV unit, but still runs stock interior speakers throughout.  In the trunk, an Alpine PDX1.1000 powers a JL Audio 13W7 subwoofer mounted in a trunk set up built specifically for the Charger by JL Audio themselves down in South Florida.  The box and beauty panels are wrapped in a grey-colored suede, and the inside of the box has Sublime painted walls as well.  There is a “DAYTONA” emblem in the floor of the trunk that is lit by green LED’s when the trunk is popped.  There is an HC1200 Kinetik battery in use for the sound system---in addition to the stock car battery---so as to prevent unnecessary drain on the car.

 

I spent five years of my life getting this car to the point it is at now.  This was all done by me personally---no sponsorships, and nothing was free or anything like that---with a lot of help from a lot of great people that went into this car.  No expenses were spared when this car was built.  The car can be turned into a weekend showcar or a full-on drag car with absolute ease, but it was built to be a turnkey daily driver first and foremost.  I wanted the car to be as reliable as it was when I first bought it, so it was always built with that in mind from the start.  I have spent the last year since “finishing” the car to enjoy what I’ve built, but now it is time to move on to something else.  I can provide as much detail as needed on ANY of the parts/people that were involved in the building of this car, should the new owner ever need to track down some information about anything that was done to the car.  Please let me know if there are any questions, and good luck with the bidding.

 

-I am not interested in trades of any sort

-Upon auction close, a $500.00 deposit will be required within 24 hours. The remaining balance must be paid in full before the car can be picked up.

-The car can be shipped if local pick-up is not possible, but it must be done completely at the buyer's coordination and expense.

-All sales are final.

Are you the Dodge Dart SRT4?

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

Dodge has just confirmed that it will be bringing its newest Dart variant, the Dart GT, to Detroit next week, but we're still in the dark about when we'll see a truly hotted-up SRT4 version. But now, by way of the rumormill anyway, we've got at least one proposed, potentially Dodge-based rendering to light our way.
Seen here is what would appear to be a design sketch of the SRT4 Dart. Obviously the image that has surfaced is of rather low-resolution, but there's at least some evidence to support that it may be legitimate. In the original picture, one can just make out the name Tim Doyle in the lower right corner. As it turns out, Tim Doyle's name is also watermarked on the final design image for the 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel Black & Tan, a model that was shown at SEMA in 2010.
Of course, even if this really is the work of Doyle, there's nothing to say that this image isn't one of a great many potential looks for the future SRT4. In fact, the departure of the cross-hair grille from the Dodge's nose seems like it could be a hard sell, though we do, naturally, dig the sleek hood scoop and the bulked up wheel/tire combination.

Roadkill builds crazy-cheap 1968 Dodge Charger rat rod using an old motorhome

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

Certain requests for description simply cannot be fulfilled, like if someone asked you to describe Picasso's Guernica or Gilliam's Brazil. There is only one appropriate answer to such entreaties, and that is: "You just gotta see it." That's where we are with the latest episode of Roadkill, wherein Messr's Freiburger and Finnegan dig out a 1968 Dodge Charger that Freiburger acquired in exchange for a set of cylinder heads, and intend to stuff it with the big-block motor from a long-bed, three-quarter ton Dodge pickup.
Only the pickup is too nice to tear apart, and the Charger needs a whole lot more lovin' - and parts - than initially expected. Enter, stage right, the Class A Dodge Pace Arrow motorhome with a 440 big-block purchased for $1,000, and a retired Plymouth Fury from a previous episode.
What ensues over the course of the 40-minute installment is more cuttin', yankin', leakin', stallin', hammerin' and smokin' action than you've seen in a long time, and some techniques that would have made even Cooter wonder, "I'm not sure if we should do that." By the end, though, the payoff is good enough to make you think about perusing AutoTrader for a '68 Charger just to see if maybe...

2016 Dodge Viper ACR First Drive [w/video]

Fri, Jul 17 2015

The Dodge Viper is not a comfortable car. Livable, yes. The interior is covered in fine materials. But you still climb over a hot door sill to enter the tiny cabin. And the frequency range of the engine's noises seem specifically designed to cause headaches. What happens, then, if you remove all pretense of civility from a Viper and add equipment solely aimed at improving lap times? You would have the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR. In terms of achieving its purpose, this car is a absolute success. In many ways it's also the most honest Viper of the current generation. Prices start at $121,990 (including $2,100 gas-guzzler tax and $1,995 destination), or $32,900 more than the least expensive Viper. In ACR trim, the Viper loses the under-carpet padding, 9 of 12 speakers plus amplifier, carpet and trim from the cargo area, and sound deadening in front of the rear wheel wells. The parts of the interior still covered add healthy amounts of Alcantara or optional carbon fiber. That weight loss is compensated by the addition of go-fast bits like the giant rear wing (or the larger "x-wing" on the Extreme Aero Package), 10-way adjustable Bilstein Motorsports shocks, Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, a rear diffuser, and a front splitter. Total claimed curb weight is 3,392 pounds in Aero trim (standard ACR trim is 18 pounds lighter), which is within a few stone of the rest of the Viper lineup. The diffuser strakes and leading edge of the splitter are removable, made to be replaced after rubbing on track tarmac and make street driving slightly more practical. Not that you'd want to drive the ACR on the street, with the lack of noise insulation and spring rates twice as stiff as the Viper TA, but it is street-legal. Dodge claims the DOT-approved Kumho Ecsta V720 tires on the ACR allow faster lap times than some race compound tires. Our test was limited to on-track shenanigans at Virginia International Raceway. Which is fitting because we wouldn't have anything good to say about driving the car on the street. The ACR is, essentially, a race car sold in the showroom, although with the Viper's 1 of 1 customization program, your custom build can include as many creature comforts as you like. Lined up in pit lane at VIR, the Viper ACRs for our evaluation blur the air with heat shimmer. All of the test cars have air conditioning, but that shuts off at full throttle with a six-second reset.
