Dyno Results of this Viper:                              http://www.btrviper.com/2nitrous.jpg

NOTES:  Dyno Numbers are at the REAR WHEELS.  For Dodge Vipers and other typical Manual Transmission 2 wheel drive cars, the conversion factor from RWHP (Rear Wheel Horse Power) to BHP (Flywheel Horse Power as used by Manufacturers) is 15% to compensate for the horsepower and torque loss through the drivetrain to the wheels.  For reference here are the numbers.......(dyno sheets attached)

A Stock 1997 Viper GTS made 450 BHP @ 500 Torque

This Viper without Nitrous as modified makes:  579 BHP @ 592 Torque (Thats 504/515 RWHP & TORQUE x 1.15)

This Viper With Nitrous as modified makes:  888 BHP @ 1,085 Torque! (Thats 771/944 RWHP & TORQUE x 1.15)

The reason that this incredibly fast Viper is so docile and daily drivable is because I never tried to interfere or adjust the factory ECU program and mapping.  All of the performance gains were made using methods that do not involve any “tuning” or tricking of the proprietary Chrysler ECU which has proven to be difficult at best.  This Viper uses cylinder head flow, camshaft design and nitrous jetting to achieve the perfect tune for utmost in power and torque gains.  Without using nitrous this Viper runs low 11’s at @ 125 MPH and has a very nice idle and drives like stock.  When using nitrous this Viper is extremely quick and runs 150 MPH in the 1/4 mile and has run a 9 second E.T. at every drag strip we have put it on.  This Viper has been a best of 9.62 E.T. (Houston Raceway Park) and has won several Viper Drag Racing Competitions.  Please look us up on Dragtimes.com.

All of the factory equipment on this Viper WORKS.  The power windows, power door locks, CD/Stereo, Air Conditioning, Seat functions, all gauges, all lights, everything!  Interior is in excellent condition with no cuts, tears or scratches.  The only modifications to the interior were fitment clearances for the Roll Bar Installation.  The Roll Bar in no way interferes with seat movement or viewing to the outside of the vehicle.

 

Included with this rare Viper is ALL of the factory stock components that were removed to accommodate the performance upgrades.  The paint, Interior, Wheels, Engine and Drivetrain are all original and Numbers Matching to this Viper.

 

I have owned this Viper since 1998.  It is a true Supercar, mild mannered at all times until you ask it to perform, then it becomes THE Superman of Vipers!  Check my feedback and bid with confidence!

2014 Dodge Durango leaks ahead of NY rollout

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

Even though Chrysler will reportedly discontinue the Dodge Durango after the current model's lifespan - said to be around 2016 - that isn't stopping the automaker from improving its full-size, three-row SUV. The vehicle won't debut at the New York Auto Show until tomorrow, but images are already leaking out ahead of the embargo lift, and they show that the 2014 model is getting even more aggressive styling to go with more technology inside and out.
Dodge limited its early press shots of the new Durango to just the R/T trim level, but this new look adds a meaner look to this model with more dramatic projector-beam headlights along with a "floating" crosshair grille and a restyled fascia. At the rear of the Durango, LED racetrack taillights show a family resemblance to the Charger and Dart, while a new rear fascia adds to the styling while also allowing for an integrated trailer hitch.
On the tech side, the instrument panel looks to have been redesigned to include a standard seven-inch thin-film transistor (TFT) gauge cluster, and it also appears as if Chrysler's well-liked UConnect system has been updated with the 8.4-inch touchscreen found in other Chrysler vehicles. The 2013 model's conventional console shifter has been replaced by a rotary knob for gear selection, suggesting that there are transmission changes afoot as well. We'll have more details when the silks slide off this big boy tomorrow, so stay tuned.

Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.

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.
