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.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.

2015 Dodge Charger darts into NY traffic

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

Meet the refreshed 2015 Dodge Charger; notice anything different? You would have to be pretty farsighted to miss the sedan's new Dart-like nose, and it's likely going to be quite polarizing to the car's fans. Gone are the previous furrowed, aggressive headlights in favor of a wider, friendlier look.
While the more rounded headlights and narrower grille are going to be the first thing most people notice, Dodge claims its designers have made changes to nearly every panel on the Charger. The hood dips down deeper at the front, and the doors show off a more angled version of the car's shoulder blister. LED running lights and taillights are standard on all models, and SXT and RT trims get LED foglights. Even though the front might not be as intimidating, Dodge has hung onto the sedan's muscular stance with angular contours making up the rest of the redesign.
Under the hood is the same engine range you've come to know over recent years. Both the 5.7-liter V8 and the 3.6-liter V6 return for 2015, with the Hemi making 370 horsepower and 395 pound-feet of torque, and the standard Pentestar outputting 292 hp and 260 lb-ft. All models are now equipped with Chrysler's TorqueFlight eight-speed automatic as standard. Fuel economy for V8 Chargers is predicted at 16 miles per gallon city and 25 mpg highway, compared to 15 mpg / 25 mpg last year with a five-speed automatic. All models also come with electric power steering, and the axles are cast from aluminum to save weight.

Dodge Durango to stay classy with Ron Burgundy as spokesperson [w/video]

Sat, 05 Oct 2013

The upcoming 2014 Dodge Durango has a lot of things going for it, including its 290-horsepower V6 and 360-hp Hemi V8 engine options, an eight-speed automatic and aggressive looks. And now it will have Ron Burgundy, the fictional television news anchor played by comedian Will Ferrell, as a spokesperson, Adweek reports. He follows in the footsteps of other non-fictional Chrysler brand spokespeople such as Eminem, Clint Eastwood and the late Paul Harvey.
Though the star of 2004's Anchorman and the upcoming Anchorman 2 is wildly popular, we're not sure we see a Dodge spokesperson in Burgundy. (Please, no womanizing or scotchy, scotch, scotch before test test drives). But at this point there's no turning back: Chrysler's chief marketing officer Olivier Francois previewed three ad spots at the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) Masters of Marketing conference in Phoenix on Friday, and says Chrysler has already filmed 68(!) Durango ads with the fictional newsman.
According to Adweek, one of the ads previewed had Burgundy highlighting the SUV's glovebox size, and in another he compared its horsepower to a white horse standing next to him. Will this help Dodge Durango sales improve? We can only wait and see. In the meantime, feel free to share your thoughts in Comments, and check out the trailer for Anchorman 2 below.
