Back up for sale is my extra Dodge Viper GTS. Yes, extra. I don't really need two. My other one (a 96 B/W GTS) is never leaving. Buy this one and you may find yourself saying the same thing.
Most ads for Vipers now are by dealers trying to sell you on how amazing the Viper is, it's history, and how theirs was owned by a little old lady who never drove it. I value your time so let's skip the BS. You're reading this ad, so I'll assume you already know what the Viper is about and that 33k miles on a 16 year old car is nothing. Right? If you want a pristine example or garage queen, this is not the Viper for you. This one is a "driver". You won't have to worry about the road wear killing the car's value. It's seen wear, but not abuse.
Here is the short and sweet on this car:
- 32,721 miles on it. I am the third owner and only account for about 1,000 miles of that.
- No accidents or major body work that I'm aware of.
- Idles, shifts, and drives fine.
- Good condition overall with typical wear, mostly minor nicks (see pictures).
- No burn marks on exhaust covers.
- For a driver, the dash isn't nicked up like a lot of them.
- Clean and clear title, in hand.
- New Michelin PS2 rear tires, new Powerslot front rotors and Hawk HPS brake pads. New rear Powerslot rotors come with the car (not needed yet). New K&N air filters.
- Gets attention everywhere.
And the short and not so sweet:
- Small nick on driver seat. Already clear patched.
- Typical road rash on wheels (no/little curbing), and behind the rear tires.
- Rear hatch is de-laminated a little at the latch. Common.
- Rear is a bit noisy compared to my other Viper. Likely the pinion bearing. Could fix it ($400) or replace entire unit with a better one with gears (~$1200).
- Driver side door/window seal pretty worn ($100).
- Hood to bumper gap is slightly larger on passenger side. Common from opening/closing hood improperly. Can be adjusted.
- Typical, very slow leak around rear main seal. Never seen a Gen2 without it.
- Gets attention everywhere.
Other notes:
- I DO NOT WANT TO TRADE FOR YOUR HARLEY, BOAT, OR LAND. I want money in my bank account and a clear garage space.
- I have "sold" this car over 4 times now, even collected some deposits, and here it is for sale again. Please don't waste my time, or yours, if you are not actually able to purchase this car. Few banks will finance a 16 year old car.
- Shop around first before discussing price. Look up the book values. The price is fair and pretty firm. I may negotiate a little, but I'm not in dire need to sell this car, even with a baby on the way.
- I can send pictures directly via e-mail. Just ask. Can also take more pictures upon request.
- $200 from the sale of this car goes to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in your name. Let's keep some perspective as we haggle over a Viper GTS.
Thanks for looking!

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years
Tue, 06 May 2014Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.

2014: Refreshed 300/300C, debuting at Los Angeles Auto Show
Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack
Fri, 24 Oct 2014We all knew That Kid. As a freshman, he was a big kid, overweight but surprisingly strong. Still, he was often picked on for his size. Then, he chatted with the football coach, who convinced him that his true calling was on the team's offensive line. After a season on the freshman squad and a summer of two-a-days, this mild-mannered, husky high schooler returned for his sophomore year as a big, imposing, solid piece of muscle. Needless to say, the same bullies that picked on him were praying he'd forgotten about them as a 10th grader.
That's the V8-powered 2015 Dodge Challenger. It arrived on the scene with a max of 425 horsepower and a bit of a weight problem. It completed its proverbial freshman year with a nice 2011 refresh, where the SRT8 was bumped up to 470 hp, but it still had some work to do.
Enter 2015, and fresh off three months of constant burpees and wind sprints, the newest Challenger is as big and powerful as it's ever been, but it's now got poise and potential, and my goodness, it's fun in a way that Dodge's muscle car has never been.
