Up for sale is my 2003 dodge Dakota R/T. It has the 5.9L 360 engine in it, has alot of modifications done to it. It has 96k miles & rising because it is my daily driver. It is flame red & it is a club cab. The exterior has the premium chrome 17" 6 lug rims with Goodyear Eagle RS-a 255/55/17 all the way around. It has a cervinis sniper body kit on it, front bumper & side skirts, I also have a roll pan style bumper & a cowl hood. It has dark tinted windows but I don't know how dark owner before me installed it. The 6.5ft bed is covered by a ARE tonneau cover which matches cowl hood & inside of it has has bed rug in it. It has new headlights, 3 months old at most but passenger side headlight only has 1 of the 2 running light bulbs because when my brother owned it a deer hit only that headlight & broke one of the housing that holds the bulb on however it didnt do any damage to the truck besides a grey mark from it being driven with headlight resting on it. It does have 6000k hyper white bulbs. Engine mods done to it are a big comp cam, mopar high rise intake, 2x52mm throttle body butterfly style, electric fan, & msd box. The check engine light is on because o2 sensors were removed when the new exhaust was added. It has all new exhaust setup, it is shorty headers to Flowmaster super 44s it is dumped straight down to the ground after rear axle. The transmission was rebuilt & had a shift kit added. The shocks were all redone but it wasnt lowered they were just replaced, & it rides super smooth even freeway speeds. The interior has not been smoked in. Its interior okay except the driver seat leather is like cracking, I can't really explain it. Other then that there is not rips or tears in any of the rest if the leather. All of the speakers on the interior were replaced with rockford fostgate speakers everything. It has a kenwood KDC-BT645U head unit & underneath the back seat there is a MTX Thunderform sub box all wired up for subs, owner before me had all of that done I never had subs wired up but all you need is 2 10"s & an amp & your all set. There is also a viper alarm on it with remote start but the backs to the 2 remotes I had fell off & I never got new ones but I still have the remotes. This truck is beautiful, & sounds great & I still get compliments on how it sounds & looks. There are a couple little marks nothing major there is a dent in the passenger door & it is smaller then a nickel. However with the issues it still fires up first time no delay. It is very quick & touchy, it will get up & go when you have your foot in it. It will spin tires easily no brake standing needed. Last time it was dyno'd it was at 257 rwhp but I do not believe it was tuned correctly so a tune is probably need to get more power out of it but isn't need for a daily driver. It is a great toy & a fun truck however it was never abused badly or anything, I respect & baby this truck beyond no believe, I will truly hate to sell it but its just something I need to do. I do believe I have receipts for alot if not all of the work but if you have any questions please feel free to contact me & ill answer them to the best of my knowledge. Test drives are available but only if we are trying to work out a deal & to have cash in hand. Thank you for viewing! This is a real posting so don't delete or flag it. $7000 obo willing to negotiate offer

Speedkore AWD twin-turbo Carbon Charger, best birthday gift ever

Tue, Nov 5 2019

The backstory the Speedkore Performance AWD twin-turbo Carbon Charger teased a couple of weeks ago might be cooler than the car itself. Alan Palermo commissioned the carbon-fiber-bodied Dodge Demon Speedkore brought to SEMA last year, the one that supplanted the 6.2-liter Hellcat V8's supercharger with twin 6875 Precision Billet T4 turbos. That blasted the Demon's usual 840 horsepower up to 1,400 hp at the flywheel, 1,203 hp at the rear tires, good for an 8.77-second quarter-mile time at 162 miles per hour. Palermo's older brother remarked, "He liked the car but was more of a four-door guy," so Alan commissioned the AWD Carbon Charger as a 65th birthday gift for his sibling. Speedkore worked with Magnaflow on the sedan, starting with a 2019 Charger Pursuit as a base. The Wisconsin tuner secured a 2020 widebody Charger from Dodge, then 3D-scanned the bodywork to create the molds reproducing most of the sheetmetal in pre-preg carbon fiber. The hood, bumpers, fenders, rockers, rear spoiler, and rear diffuser are all fashioned from the lightweight stuff.  Beyond those Precision turbos laid in by Gearhead Fabrications, Speedkore installed a custom upper plenum, Boost Leash C02 progressive boost controller, custom Thitek heads, a Fore Innovations triple-pump fuel system feeding Injector Dynamics 1,700-cc injectors, and custom HP Tuners engine software calibration. Test results showed 1,525 hp at the crank when running 26 pounds of boost.  Hellraiser Performance engineered a new transmission working an FTI torque converter at one end and a carbon fiber driveshaft at the other. Instead of fortifying an off-the-shelf AWD system, Traction Products supplied a custom transfer case machined from billet shunting power to a set of Bogart Competition Series wheels wearing Mickey Thompson ET street rubber.  Speedkore fitted last year's Demon with a front-exit twin exhaust, with a single opening on each front fender, and left the rear bumper cutouts for the traditional exhaust empty. With the Carbon Charger sedan more of a family guy, Magnaflow sorted out a quad-pipe front-exit exhaust with two openings on each front fender, and ran a three-inch stainless steel Competition Series exhaust to the rear. The driver can switch between the two, the latter version providing a "moderate interior sound."  The folks at Speedkore say they'll keep tweaking the Carbon Charger after the show to get it right for the senior Palermo. We say, "Happy birthday, sir. Enjoy."

Fiat/PSA's dominance in small vans hangs up EU's merger approval

Mon, Jun 8 2020

BRUSSELS — EU antitrust regulators are concerned about Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot / PSA's combined high market share in small vans and may require concessions to clear their $50 billion merger, people familiar with the matter said. The companies, which are seeking to create the world's fourth biggest carmaker, were told of the European Commission's concerns last week. If Fiat and PSA fail to dispel the European Commission's doubts in the next two days and subsequently decline to offer concessions by Wednesday, the deadline for doing so, the deal would face a four-month-long investigation. The EU competition enforcer, which has set a June 17 deadline for its preliminary review, declined to comment. Fiat was not immediately available for comment while PSA had no immediate comment. Hiving off overlapping businesses, usually a regulatory demand to ensure more competition, could prove tricky for the carmakers because of the technicalities. Fiat and PSA are looking to merge to help offset slowing demand and shoulder the cost of making cleaner vehicles to meet tougher emissions regulations. The deal puts under one roof the Italian carmaker's brands such as Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Maserati and the French company's Peugeot, Opel and DS.

The biggest gas-guzzlers of 2024: 'The Meanest List' is the opposite of greenest cars

Thu, Mar 14 2024

In some circles — especially some automotive circles — bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example. In its so-called “Meanest List” of a dozen models, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating “the worst-performing mass market automobiles” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette Z06. At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was “the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Gas 20 $184,000 $4,242 2 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Gas 22 $98,335 $3,819 3 Ford F150 Raptor R Gas 24 $79,975 $3,777 4 Cadillac Escalade V Gas 26 $152,295 $3,388 5 Dodge Durango SRT Gas 26 $74,995 $3,332 6 Jeep Wrangler 4dr 4X4 Gas 27 $35,895 $3,260 7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Gas 28 $91,945 $3,058 8 Mercedes-Benz G550 Gas 28 $143,000 $3,186 9 GMC Hummer EV SUV EV 29 $98,845 $1,746 10 GMC Sierra Gas 29 $37,700 $3,069 11 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gas 30 $114,395 $3,169 12 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680 Gas 30 $234,300 $3,031 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In terms of numbers, the dirty dozen of the meanest includes seven SUVs and three trucks. Lonely at the middle of the list is the sole electric, the GMC Hummer EV, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds. The council notes that “though EVs have lower emissions than similarly sized gasoline models, the Hummer demonstrates that size and efficiency, not just fuel source, are important factors in a carÂ’s environmental impact.” ItÂ’s also worth reminding prospective buyers that the average fuel cost of a vehicle on the “Greenest List” eats up only a fifth of the fuel cost of a vehicle on the Meanest List, “showing that greener options can also be more affordable.” The ACEEE also put out a "Greener List" of efficient gasoline and hybrid cars that don't require plugging in.  By the Numbers Green Cadillac Chevrolet Dodge Ford GMC Hummer Jeep Maybach Mercedes-Benz RAM Emissions Fuel Efficiency Green Automakers Truck SUV Electric Hybrid
