All-disc antilock brakes are new for 2001 on Dodge’s high-performance, retro-styled RT/10 convertible. Dodge
also added Viper Race Yellow for 2001 so this vehicle will be perfect for the discerning collector. Because Vipers
still draw attention, despite being over 2 decades old, collector demand is a consideration when buying. More than
20,000 Vipers have been sold since the snorting rear-drive two-seater debuted as a 1992 model.
No other sports car on the market in 2001 was on par with the Viper, a throwback to the era of all-out muscle
machines, whose V-10 engine cranks out no less than 450 horsepower. In fact, no other production car used a V-10
engine in 2001. The engine catapults you from 0-60 in under 4 seconds and melts the ¼ mile in 12.2 seconds.
Exterior
Designed to bring back memories of the Shelby Cobras seen on American roads and racetracks back in the 1960s, the
Viper ranks as an exercise in excess but one that’s basically simple in styling. Both the convertible and coupe
share such design features as a bold crossbar grille, huge side scoops in the front fenders and a long, wide hood.
This vehicle has the optional removable hardtop, color matched of course. This viper rides on new 275/35ZR18 front
and even bigger 335/30ZR18 rear tires mounted on custom color matched Forgeline VR-1 Wheels.
Interior
Two occupants sit in low reclining custom Italian leather yellow interior with black contrast stitching and Viper
logos by a reputable Viper community interior maker. The seats are now adjustable, unlike previous model years.
Standard equipment includes air conditioning, a tilt steering wheel, remote keyless entry, fog lights, a
theft-deterrent system, and power windows, locks and mirrors, overhead mesh storage pouches and a trunk light. The
vehicle has a professionally installed Alpine audio system with custom subwoofer in the factory location.
Under the Hood
A brawny 8.0-liter V-10 engine beneath the Viper’s hood puts out 450 hp and 490 pounds-feet of torque — the
kind of torque that seems ready to drag tree stumps out of the ground. It was the biggest, most powerful engine
offered in an American production automobile in 2001 and stands strong with production muscle cars even nearly 15
years later. A custom Borla exhaust is estimated to add approximately 20 HP bringing the total to a head smashing
470 HP. A six-speed-manual gearbox is the only available transmission.

Thieves relieve Detroit-area Dodge dealer of $70,000 in SRT wheels

Tue, Apr 26 2016

Okay Mopar fans, this won't be easy to read. A video, which has since been made private, popped up over on Reddit's Cars subreddit over the weekend and detailed the aftermath of a massive wheel heist at a metro Detroit dealership. Thieves broke into Sterling Heights Dodge and made off with at least $70,000 worth of wheels and tires. The thieves ignored the V6 models and instead targeted Hellcat, SRT392, Scat Pack, and R/T versions of the Charger and Challenger. The poor muscle cars were left sitting on blocks, with the voice behind the video saying the treatment led to underbody damage. We only counted 12 cars, but the person shooting the video said thieves targeted 14 vehicles. That works out to about $5,000 in wheels per vehicle. We've reached out to Sterling Heights Dodge general manager and the Sterling Heights Police Department for comments. We haven't heard back yet, but we'll be sure to update this post with any additional information. Oh, and if you're in metro Detroit and perusing Craigslist for a new set of alloys, we'd advise against buying Dodge wheels for the next few weeks. They might be hot. Related Video:

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.

FCA issues recall for 300k Dodge Chargers over airbag sensor

Sun, Aug 2 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has issued another recall, this time for the Dodge Charger. The issue stems from an overly sensitive control module that could deploy the side-curtain airbag and seatbelt pretensioner if the door is kicked or slammed too hard. The recall affects certain Charger sedans from the 2011-2014 model years, specifically those manufactured between May 6, 2010, and June 5, 2014. All told, that amounts to an estimated 322,078 units, including 284,153 in the United States, another 13,169 in Canada, 2,484 in Mexico, and 22,272 overseas. Owners of those vehicles will be asked to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the Occupant Restraint Control module recalibrated, and are being advised in the meantime to "exercise caution when closing doors." If this issue sounds familiar, that's because the automaker issued a similar recall for Ram trucks just last week, affecting over 667,000 four-door pickups in the United States alone. Following a further investigation into its passenger cars, FCA found a similar problem with the Charger, whose door design mandated specific calibration of the module in question for that model. The company says it is aware of three minor injuries potentially related to the issue, but no accidents. This campaign is just the latest in a string of recall-related issues to have emerged from Auburn Hills recently. The Ram truck recall was issued in tandem with another airbag-related recall for a further million pickups. Prior to that it called in another 1.4 million vehicles to update their infotainment system software due to a security issue. Another 350,000 Dodge Journeys were called in before that to have their engine covers secured. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is expected to issue the company a massive hundred-million-dollar fine for failing to follow proper procedures related to safety and recall issues. Meanwhile, another NHTSA investigation that could have affected 4.7 million units was closed with no further action deemed necessary. And an appeal court judge in Georgia reduced the damages the company will be ordered to pay the family of a child who died in a fire in a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Statement: Occupant Restraint Control Module August 1, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is conducting a voluntary safety recall to recalibrate control modules on approximately 284,153 U.S.-market sedans to prevent inadvertent side-curtain air-bag and seatbelt pre-tensioner deployment.
