Many years and dollars have been spent optimizing this Viper for the enjoyment of its next owner. It has always been garaged, covered, detailed and meticulously maintained.  It has never seen either rain or a race track. Over $155,000 invested.  Dynoed at 706 rear wheel HP and 704 foot pounds of torque.  (Contact me for Dyno sheet).  Car has an RSI normally aspirated 522 CI stroker motor built for reliability and insane sound (idles like a funny car, screams like a Le Mans prototype when you step on it.  I've had guys in Lamborghinis and Ferraris wave me by so they can listen to this car.  See youtube links below for a similar sounding cars).  RSI estimates 0-60 2.9 seconds, Quarter Mile: 10.22 at 140 MPH.  Top Speed 218.  All without the Quaife torque biasing rear differential in this car.


This car is dramatically faster and better sounding than the new Viper.  The interior leather is a higher quality, and the stereo and tires are better, all for a small fraction of the price.

 The equipment list is as follows. The engine mods have about 4,000 miles on them.  Leather interior under 500 miles,  Quaife differential under 1,000.  Tires under 1,000.  (Prices are from invoices):

The Copperhead in this YouTube video sounds similar to my car, somewhat less radical; but it gives you an idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2v4ytR09bw.

This is a normally aspirated RSI Viper motor idling.  The sound coming out of the exhaust is much cooler, but this give you an idea of what the intake looks like etc.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnSFxe5Re4g

2015 Dodge Viper price drops $15k for 2015

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

We recently saw updated specs and new trims of the 2015 Viper, but it looks like the folks at Dodge were saving the biggest surprise for last. Prices on all levels of the American sports car are seeing an immediate, across-the-board price cut of $15,000; even 2014 models still remaining on dealer lots.
The new MSRP for the 2015 Viper in its base SRT trim now starts at $84,995, and when the TA and GTS come to the lineup later next year, they start at $100,995 and $107,995, respectively. The move seems like a swing for the fences that might help to quell slow sales.
Obviously, current Viper owners might be somewhat peeved that their investment was just re-priced by the company. However, to assuage some of their concerns, Dodge is giving all fifth-gen owners a certificate worth $15,000 towards the purchase of a new one, which comes in addition to the price reduction.

Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.

Chrysler celebrates 30 years of minivans with special editions

Tue, 03 Sep 2013

It's been known by many names: the Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, Chrysler Voyager, Lancia Voyager, Volkswagen Routan, Ram Cargo Van... but the bottom line is that Chrysler's minivans have defined the segment for 30 years now. In fact, Chrysler says it has sold 13 million of them since 1983, helped along by the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan that accounted for nearly half of all minivans sold in the United States just last year. So to celebrate this three-decade milestone, the Auburn Hills auto has announced a pair of new special editions.
The 2014 Chrysler Town & Country 30th Anniversary Edition starts the Touring-L trim and includes such special touches as 17-inch wheels, unique badging, available Granite Crystal Pearl paint and an interior decked out in black Alcantara and Nappa leather, piano black trim and all the optional bells and whistles bundled in.
The 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan 30th Anniversary Edition, meanwhile, starts off with either the SE or SXT trims and also upgrades with 17-inch alloys as well as color-keyed mirrors and an interior with silver stitching, piano black trim, power everything, and of course, those special badges.
