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.

We cruised Woodward in the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat [w/video]
Tue, 19 Aug 2014
We were definitely rock stars at the 20th edition of the Dream Cruise.
The yell came from somewhere in the crowd: "Hey Hellcat, push it!" We obliged with a jab of the throttle, and the 707 horses of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat roared to life. It went on like this. All weekend. It's one thing to attend the Woodward Dream Cruise, it's quite another to star in it.
Mopar maneuvers into SEMA with a multitude of modified models
Wed, 05 Nov 2014As the aftermarket and performance arm of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Mopar has a duty to extract everything from the company's models that it can, and there's no better place to show all of its work off than the annual SEMA Show.
Dodge really gets in on the act this year with several customs to show off different parts of the brand's performance heritage. Perhaps the most interesting among them is the track-prepped Viper ACR Concept (pictured above). It wears a custom body kit to produce even more downforce, thanks in no small part to a monstrous wing at the back. To shed weight, most of the interior is stripped out, as well. Next up, the Challenger T/A Concept takes inspiration from '70s Trans-Am racing in a livery of Sublime Green and matte black paint. The center scoop in the hood keeps the 6.4-liter V8 fed with cool air, and the special's 20-by-9.5-inch matte black wheels keep it planted in the corners.
Also getting the once-over from Mopar is the Charger R/T. It wears the division's body kit, and under the hood, a cold-air intake keeps the 5.7-liter V8 breathing. The suspension is retooled to hold the road better with a coil-over kit, upgraded sway bars and strut tower braces for the front and rear. The company is also showing off a snazzy blue Charger with a mean look. The final Dodge getting work from Mopar is the Dart R/T Concept with bright, O-So-Orange paint and a matte black hood with a scoop hooked directly to the air intake. The performance-oriented design is finished off with a coil-over suspension and big brake kit, as well.
Dodge Challenger spied exercising supercharged Hellcat Hemi V8
Wed, 23 Oct 2013One of the prime complaints against the Dodge Challenger is that, even in SRT8 guise, its 470 horsepower is responsible for hauling over 4,200 pounds of vehicle. For comparison, the 420 hp in the Ford Mustang GT only has to deal with 3,618 lbs. Things only get worse from there, as the higher-performance variants of both the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro are far more powerful than an SRT8 without adding on much heft.
So what is Chrysler to do? The correct answer is add a whole lot more grunt to its hefty two-door and even the odds. That's where the all-new Hellcat engine comes into play. We reported on this engine in May, and suggested that the Hellcat, a supercharged powerplant based on a 6.4-liter V8, would easily generate 500 to 570 hp and could likely arrive boasting more than 600 ponies.
Chrysler's ace in its sleeve has now been spied testing, with a number of Hellcat-equipped Challengers running the potent new engine both in more urbanized areas and under the sun of Death Valley. The hoods on these testers have been raised to accommodate the engine, and that camouflage over the fascias of these prototypes is there to hide a larger air intake. We also note what appears to be a new split grille under wraps. As for power output, our spies are now suggesting a Viper-equalling 640 hp from the Hellcat-equipped cars.
