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

Coal-rolling Ram dually does tandem beer-shooting burnout with ATV in bed

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Sometimes a video comes around that just makes you shake your head in disbelief. Take for example these guys from Nebraska in their dually diesel flatbed Ram, doing a smoky burnout. Lighting up the tires is nothing new, but these folks take things a step further by having another guy on an ATV in bed that is also smoking the tires. Finally, people are sitting on a couch in the bed taking the whole show in, as beer cans shoot out of the stacks.
There have been several stories recently about the scourge of rolling coal, i.e., diesel trucks modified to lay down a thick, black smoke screen, sometimes for vaguely political reasons. Whatever your opinion is on it, breathing in this much nasty stuff isn't exactly great for your health. Of course, it turns out that burning rubber is pretty awful, too. Both diesel and tire emissions contain cancer-causing Group 1 carcinogens. Combine them with the cigarette smoking here, and these guys are an oncologist's nightmare. Scroll down to take it all in for yourself. Warning, there is a little explicit language.

2013 Dodge Challenger R/T hits the Redline

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Dodge has added a bit of spice to its Hemi-powered Challenger for 2013, offering up this new Redline package that makes its official debut at the Chicago Auto Show. The R/T Redline builds on the Rallye Redline kit that was created for the V6 Challenger, and we like how these subtle changes add to the muscle coupe's already classic styling.
In addition to the black chrome 20-inch wheels with red accents, the R/T Redline adds subtle graphics along the beltline. Inside, cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission get a performance tuned exhaust that allows the engine to send a full 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. (Redline Challengers with the five-speed automatic produce 372 hp and 400 lb-ft.)
The Redline package retails for $1,995 and can be had on both Challenger R/T and R/T Plus models. Scroll down for the full press blast.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
