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!

Dodge gives 2015 Viper slight power increase, new GT model

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

With its troubling sales figures, the newly rechristened SRT Dodge Viper needs to come out swinging for 2015. To do that, Dodge has made a number of tweaks and changes that will hopefully carry the V10-powered sports car into more successful days.
First up for 2015 is a new GT model, which aims to marry the reasonable price of the base car with the adjustable suspension and trick stability control program of the GTS model. The GT also sports a cabin that's covered in Alcantara suede and Nappa leather as standard.
Also new for 2015 is the SRT TA 2.0 Special Edition, which expands on last year's Viper TA by adding new aerodynamic bits and bobs, including a larger rear wing, which ups downforce at 150 miles per hour from 278 pounds to 400 pounds.

2015 Dodge Challenger gets 6.4L 485-HP V8 Scat Pack

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

While it's not seeing the drastic facelift of its brother, the Charger, at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the 2015 Challenger is packing some upgrades of its own. It wears even more retro-inspired styling cues, and there are new 6.4-liter Scat Pack and Shaker trims.
If you thought the Challenger looked retro before, Dodge is taking things even farther with inspiration for the refresh coming from the iconic 1971 model. Up front, it has a new split grille, a larger power bulge in the hood and projector fog lights. At the rear, the classic inspiration continues with split LED taillights with Gloss Black trim, and a rear valance panel redesigned to make the 2015 model look wider and lower.
The '71 motif is carried inside as well with a high-sill center console and aluminum gauge bezels. There's still more than a touch of modernity, with an available 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system and 7-inch customizable display between the retro-inspired speedometer and tachometer. For better safety, the Challenger is also now available with forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross path detection. Stability control and electric power steering are standard across all models too.

NHTSA is investigating FCA shifters for roll-away accidents again, this time the rotary units

Tue, Dec 20 2016

It seems FCA's shifter troubles aren't over yet. Now, just a few months after issuing a recall to resolve user-related issues with its monostable shifters, the company is again under investigation by NHTSA. The issue is related to the potential for cars to roll away when the rotary-style shifter is not properly placed in park. Two FCA models are the subject of this investigation: the 2013–2016 Ram 1500 and the 2014–2016 Dodge Durango. NHTSA estimates about 1,000,000 vehicles would be affected if a recall is issued. The investigation was started following 43 complaints of vehicles rolling away while supposedly being in "park." Among the complaints were reports of 25 crashes and 9 injuries. NHTSA does point out that in every incident, the parking brake was not engaged. A representative from FCA also gave us an official statement regarding the investigation: "FCA US is cooperating fully with NHTSA's investigation, the scope of which is limited. Other vehicles equipped with rotary shifters are not included. In accordance with prudent practice, the Company joins NHTSA in urging all drivers to use their vehicles' parking brakes." View 35 Photos As mentioned above, other Chrysler products with rotary shifters, such as the Pacifica minivan and 200 sedan, are not involved in this investigation. One of the key differences, as the representative told us, is that these vehicles have electronic parking brakes that automatically engage if the driver does not select park and then opens the door with the seatbelt unbuckled. The Ram 1500 and Durango feature mechanical, manually operated parking brakes and therefore cannot activate the brake automatically. Because this is currently an investigation, an exact cause for the incidents has yet to be determined, and none of the vehicles have been recalled. It's possible there could be a mechanical defect. However, the issue could be a confusing interface causing user error, as was the case with FCA's monostable shifters, where drivers think they've put the car in park but actually haven't. Something that indicates it could be a case of confused users is that NHTSA also opened an investigation into 2012–2014 Jaguar XF and Land Rover Range Rover Evoques for similar issues. Both vehicles use a rotary shifter and have had roll-away complaints levied as well. Even if it is a case of user error, FCA and Jaguar Land Rover may still have to recall their vehicles.
