Overview

The Viper was like nothing else on the road when it deputed in 1992.  It had just 2 seats, side exhaust pipes, no outside door handles, no windows, no traction control, and no apologizes.  Dodge had worked with the great Carroll Shelby to create this monster.  It had a new 8.0 liter V10 engine mated with a 6-speed manual transmission.  The first generation, 1992-1994, was not the best of years for the Viper.  With steadily increasing production numbers, with the most being built in 1994 with 2,890.  1994 was also the first year that Air Condition was an option.  Despite the low production numbers, the Viper was a hit with customers.  It is still being produced today, but the 1st generation cars are more sought after now than when they first came out. 

The car available here is your chance to get a brand new 1994 Dodge Viper.  With only 507 original miles on this car, it isn’t even broken in yet.  It even still wears its original tires.  You will not find a better example of the 1st generation Viper.  If you’re a collector this is a must have or if you’re somebody that dreamed of having one when they first came out, this is your chance.  It is like buying one brand new in 1994.  This is a one owner car that was only used a few times a year for parades and simple joy drives.  It was always garaged kept and never saw rain. 

Exterior

As you can imagine the exterior on this car is amazing.  If there are any flaws, they came from the factory.  The paint is spectacular, no scratches, dents, or chips to speak of.  The doors, hood, and trunk all shut firmly and have good gaps.    

Interior

The interior is perfect.  The car was garaged kept and cared for, so there is no fading or discoloration on the interior plastics or leather.  The radio works great, all gauges work, and all lights work.  The soft top and side curtains have never been on the car, nor as the tonneau cover.  The tonneau cover is still in the plastic from the factory.  The top and side curtains are in the travel bags still as well.  The side curtain windows are clear and show no sign of discoloration.  All the bows for the top are also in the big with the top itself.

Mechanicals

The car runs flawlessly.  We have not driven it but a few miles, due to its extremely low mileage.  We do not want to add any more miles than needed.  Unfortunately we have not service records for any maintenance, but all the fluids are clean and full.  We would recommend a full service and for sure new tires if you plan in driving the car regularly.  The tires do not seem to be flat spotted or out of round, since it was used on a yearly basis, but given they are original to the car their age would be an issue if used regularly.    

Literature and Extras

Every book, manual, and even the VHS tape that came with the car showing how to operate the hood, install the side curtains, rear glass, top, and tonneau cover. The car also come with a factory service manual in a Viper hard case binder.  The spare keys, which are still in the plastic pouch.  We also have the original window sticker and delivery paperwork for this car.  The spare tire and all the accessories are in the trunk. 

Conclusion

You are not going to find a better example of the 1st Generation Viper.  It is a time capsule that can’t be replicated.  The Viper is a rare case where they are collectible while they are still in production.  This is your chance to own a new 1994 Viper RT/10, just 10 years later.

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.

Weekly Recap: FCA hit with record fine as NHTSA crackdown continues

Sat, Aug 1 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration slapped Fiat Chrysler Automobiles with a record fine this week that could reach $105 million. The punishment comes after NHTSA found problems with the automaker's execution of 23 recalls that affect more than 11 million vehicles. The consent agreement, announced Sunday, calls for FCA to pay a $70-million cash fine and requires the company to spend at least $20 million over a three-year period on industry outreach programs and to beef up old recall campaigns. Failure to comply will result in another $15-million fine. FCA also agreed to federal oversight, which includes an independent monitor to oversee the company's recalls. The $70-million cash fine equals a penalty NHTSA levied on Honda in January. "Fiat Chrysler's pattern of poor performance put millions of its customers and the driving public at risk," NHTSA administrator Mark Rosekind said in a statement. "This action will provide relief to owners of defective vehicles, will help improve recall performance throughout the auto industry, and gives Fiat Chrysler the opportunity to embrace a proactive safety culture." FCA called the deal a "consensual resolution," but admitted that it "failed to timely provide an effective remedy" during certain recalls. "We are intent on rebuilding our relationship with NHTSA and we embrace the role of public safety advocate," the company said in a statement. The announcement kicked off a busy week for the automaker. NHTSA agreed FCA did not need to recall 4.7 million vehicles after an investigation failed to find defects with a power module used in some Jeep, Dodge, and Ram vehicles. A Georgia judge also reduced a civil verdict involving a death in a Jeep Grand Cherokee crash. Amid all of that, the company reported net profit of about 333 million euros, or $364 million in the second quarter on Thursday. OTHER NEWS & NOTES FCA ramps up Hellcat production Despite a decidedly legal and financial week for FCA, there was still time for the performance side of the business to briefly grab the spotlight. The automaker is more than doubling its production of the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcats in response to strong demand. The order bank opens the second week of August and production begins in September. FCA will finish up its scheduled 2015 model-year Hellcat builds, and cancel any "unscheduled" versions, though customers will get discounted pricing for 2016.

FCA and Peugeot reportedly agree on merger

Wed, Oct 30 2019

Citing a Wall Street Journal report, the Detroit Free Press says "Fiat Chrysler and PSA Groupe have agreed to merge." The Journal reported on talks between the two car companies only yesterday. It's said that Peugeot's board met yesterday to approve the deal, FCA's board met today, and an announcement could come as soon as tomorrow, Thursday. Both automakers have released statements, but neither company has released any information beyond admitting to ongoing talks. If the merger happens, the combined entity would become the world's fourth-largest carmaker with a $50 billion valuation, slotting in behind Toyota, the Volkswagen Group, and the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi alliance. Among the merger options possible, "an all-stock merger of equals" is the one analysts and Moody's seem to give the best grade. The reported merger would come about four months after FCA walked away from merger talks with Renault. FCA said the French government scuppered those talks over the role of Nissan in a reformed entity, but there were also brewing issues with French unions, and ongoing turmoil among Renault and Nissan leadership thanks to continuing fallout from ex-CEO Carlos Ghosn's arrest last year. FCA makes most of its revenue in the U.S. and rules Italy, while Peugeot is the second-best-selling automaker in Europe with its own brand in France and Opel in Germany. The two companies already have a partnership in Europe making vans, one that FCA CEO Mike Manley has spoken highly of. Among the list of obvious benefits in a potential merger, FCA would get access to Peugeot's small, modern platforms, $10.2 billion in cash, and electrified and hybrid architecture developments, the latter especially important to FCA as those are fields where it lags. Peugeot would get much easier access to the U.S. market, and the money-printing brands Jeep and Ram. A merged carmaker would have combined sales of nearly 9 million a year, based on 2018 results. By comparison, both Volkswagen and Toyota sell over 10 million cars a year, while the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance almost 11 million. Peugeot CEO Carlos Tavares has proved he knows how to do turnarounds and mergers. After leaving a position as Carlos Ghosn's right-hand man in 2012, Tavares took over Peugeot in 2014, navigated a bailout from the French government and China's Dongfeng Motors in 2015, and turned PSA into a regional powerhouse.
