Vipers are a completely different car then any other because of its large amount of torque at low RPM's. This is the cause for so many of them being wrecked. Owners are used to other "fast cars" and don't know how quickly Vipers can bite! I would highly recommend taking it out to a track for an hour or more if possible to learn how to tame and control it.

These cars are right at 3500 lbs at 450 hp. Not a lot of speed is required for an insurance company to "salvage" them but, that doesn't mean the car is forever ruined. It's still the same great car!!

All 2000 Vipers come with manual 6 speed transmissions and we recently got 23 mpg's on a 600 mile trip. 23!!!! This is a 10 cylinder engine!!!! That's amazing!!!!

Getting in and out of it is as you might expect... like squeezing in the cockpit of a fighter jet. But once you get in and situated the feeling is like no other. Just the stance of the car as you look over the hood and see its aggressive yet majestic lines gives you a feeling of pure joy!

This is a 14 year old car... It's not perfect.

There is a small crack in the lower (very lower) driver side corner of the windshield. It is almost unnoticeable it's so low.
The driver seat has a minor scrape (not tear) in it.
The hood was repainted... (don't get scared) but it was in an accident (remember the salvaged title). With that said there are minor cosmetic flaws in the paint that I will gladly point out. I tried to capture them in pictures but they are very minor and hard to see.

 

Everyone now wants to know where/how was it wrecked. Good question! It was on the front passenger side. The engine started and ran fine. And as stated before it drives PERFECTLY STRAIGHT and has ZERO mechanical issues. The tires show no uneven or funky wear. 

These cars hold their value unbelievably well and even though it's salvaged it's still an excellent Viper at a fraction of the KBB value.

NHTSA probing Ram recall pace, communication

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced that it's looking into Chrysler Group's handling of a pair of recalls affecting roughly one million Ram pickup trucks. Reuters is reporting that the regulatory agency is focusing on the availability (or lack thereof) of parts and "poor communications" from the automaker in its investigation.
"Customers have been advised in accordance with the regulations governing recalls," Chrysler spokesman Eric Mayne told Reuters via email. "We are continually replenishing our supply of replacement parts. Chrysler Group regrets any inconvenience our customers may have experienced."
NHTSA disagrees, arguing that the recalls, which affect 972,000 trucks from 2003 to 2012, are being delayed by the lack of parts.

Chrysler recalling 280k Dodge Ram 1500 pickups over axle seizures

Fri, Dec 19 2014

Following a June investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will be recalling 280,000 Dodge Ram pickups from model year 2005. The issue, NHTSA told The Detroit News, centered on a loose pinion nut, which could cause the rear axle to seize and, potentially, the driveshaft to detach. The affected vehicles were built between January of 2004 and August of 2005, while of the 280,000 trucks, only 257,000 were sold in the US market. According to The News, the recall will begin on February 13, and will see owners report to dealerships to have "a retention feature" added to the pinion nut.

Dodge unveils Special Service Durango for government fleets

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

Straight off its refresh, the Dodge Durango is slipping back into its dress blues and getting back to work. The 2014 Dodge Durango Special Service Vehicle boasts all the refinements and improvements that the refreshed, civilian-spec model received, most notably a 15-percent improvement in fuel economy.
Designed for police and fire departments, and as Chrysler's answer to the Ford Police Interceptor Utility and Chevrolet Tahoe PPV in the growing service SUV market, the Durango boasts a 600-mile range, thanks to the addition of an eight-speed automatic, available on both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Equipped with the 360-horsepower Hemi, the Durango SSV can tow up to 7,400 pounds (the V6 is limited to 6,200 pounds).
Police and fire department Durangos get a few special features over the civilian models. The electric systems are ruggedized, with a heavy duty battery and a 220-amp alternator in place, while the engine's water pump and oil cooler are both stronger. The brakes are tougher, and a load-leveling suspension has been fitted, too.
