VIPER GTS Not just because this is my car but this has to be one of the hottest 08 vipers out there. The previous owner made some subtle changes that set this car apart from the crowd. These changes are both cosmetic and mechanical. My favorite is taking the stock viper wheels having them powder coated black and then painting the thin silver line around the edges. Along with the silver viper emblem on the wheel this ties in well with the black and silver scheme from the factory. Eibach springs have been added that allow the viper to lower another 11/2" again changing the rake and look of this beautiful car. Mechanically this viper is bone stock other then the exhaust system which has an absolute awesome deep aggressive sound. The drone that these cars put out is non existent. The 02 sensors are still in place. This viper runs as you would expect a 9,000 mile car to run. The brakes function as new and the steering and cornering are absolutely awesome (enhanced by the eibach springs) There are no funny noises or lights on dash. No issues. The interior is also stock other then having center dash bezel painted gloss black and a few other little decorative items. The dash lights have a deep blue glow to them which I think is another addition. The seats carpeting and dash have little to no wear This car is a step above the crowd. It has a look superior to most others and a stance that exudes aggressiveness. Like most vipers it lives in a climate controlled garage and has never seen rain or snow. I won't tell you that I have not driven this car hard but nothing even close to the limits this viper was built to handle. I don't believe it has ever been tracked. This car is ready to drive across country if need be. It has a clean carfax no accidents or issues. that will be provided to new owner. I have a reason for selling this viper that has nothing to do with needing to or wanting to. but non the less I am. Interesting viper trades up or down will be entertained and also mopar muscle cars mid to late 60's and early 70's. Any questions or offers? Thanks Bill 636 219 7298. This car is listed locally so I reserve the right to end auction early. This viper is being sold where is as is and no warranties have been written expressed or implied. While shipping is responsibility of purchaser I will assist as needed including picking you up from the St Louis airport if you wanted to fly in and drive home. Will store this car inside for up to three weeks after auction ends unless other arrangements have been made. The reserve is more then fair as I intend on selling this car. |

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
Dodge and Jeep recalling 895k SUVs for possibility of headliner fires
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Dodge and Jeep are announcing recalls of a total of 895,000 Durango and Grand Cherokee models worldwide from the 2011 through 2014 model years. There's a possibility that the wiring in the sun visor can short circuit and cause a fire. It specifically affects vehicles built between January 5, 2010, and December 11, 2013, and there are approximately 651,000 of them in the US, 45,700 in Canada, 23,000 in Mexico and 175,000 outside of North America.
Screws that fasten the sunvisor to the headliner may pierce wires in the visor, if the part has been removed or serviced, potentially causing a fire risk. If the wires short circuit, they could overheat and potentially combust. The automakers report three injuries caused by this defect, and according to the investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "there may be a total of 52 unique fire incidents."
To fix the problem, Dodge and Jeep will inspect the vehicles for suspect wiring, and all of the models, whether damaged or not, will get a new sun visor spacer with a wire guide to stop the possibility of short circuits. According to the automakers' announcement, "this condition is not present in vehicles which have not had the headliner or vanity mirror serviced." They will notify affected owners, and repairs will begin in August.
