This beautiful Launch Edition SRT10 Coupe is a joy to drive, the A/C blows ICE Cold and the Sound system has the ability to load and play multiple MP3/CD Discs or plug in your IPOD or MP3 player directly. This car is the 2006 Launch Edition and has special significance because it is #43 of 200 which happens to be the most Iconic Dodge racer of all time, The King Richard Petty  The exhaust is custom built by NayKid Racing a (previously) factory supported Viper racing team and demands attention without being obnoxious while releasing a little more power from the mighty V10 over stock The fact that we raced new from the factory Vipers (this car was never raced) allowed some team spares (brand new parts) to find their way onto this team owner's street car as follows:   * Full T1 Suspension * Moton Double Adjustable Remote Reservoir Shocks * Eibach Coil-over Springs * Fully adjustable sway bars The tires and wheels have less than 2,000 miles on them as they were pulled off one of the race cars during it's conversion from street car and installed on this car. The car has been tasteful lowered just enough to look drop dead sexy yet still navigate the average speed bump or driveway successfully. The driver's seat has been lowered 1" which is just enough that a six footer doesn't have to lean over in the car to see a traffic light. FYI: "rebuilt" title due to mishap when car was very new, many Viper's ended up with rebuilt titles due the extremely high cost of parts and commonly being owned by very meticulous people who pushed insurance companies to total rather than repair these powerful machines. I've owned this car for 5 years, it was repaired, inspected licensed and insured before I bought it. It has been licensed, insured and driven for pleasure every year since. In Washington you  must take the damaged car, after the repair is made and "before" you are issued a title and are granted the ability to license the car for the highway you must have the car inspected. Once the car has been inspected and deemed repaired properly and safe for the road you are issued a "branded" title which could say, "rebuilt" (as in this case) or "not actual miles" etc and then you license the car and smog check it etc just like any other car never to bother again with anything more than any other clean title car. I have to smog check it every other year which it passes with flying colors because we've made no changes that affect smog. As for insurance I've also had insurance on it the whole time with Ameriprize and all I had to do was have an inspection done by an ASE mechanic and show current pictures of car the same as insuring a classic. It could be different in another state but I would be surprised and I encourage you to make a couple calls.  The thing that happened a lot with these Vipers was they would have incur light damage and the salvage value is so high on them that the insurance company could make out better by totaling them. In other words, the way a car is determined to be totaled is as follows: Cost of repairs + expenses related to downtime (IE: rental car) OR Replacement cost (how much car owner will settle for to walk away from car) - salvage value (what someone will buy the damaged car for) is what determines the insurance company's outlay.  Whichever is the less of the two determines if car will be totaled or not. Typically a Viper is worth $75k to replace yet brings $55k in salvage so net loss for insurance company is $20k, when you compare that to $15k to repair a small damage + 60 days worth of rental cars and expenses @ $6k that's $21k so better off to total even with minor damage... This car was repaired properly and is owned and driven by an accomplished road racing team owner as his personal street car, this also allowed for this car to end up with some very cool and elusive parts direct from Dodge Motorsports due to his Sponsorship with Dodge.  See above for description...

NHTSA investigating 110,000 Ram 2500s and 3500s, one death alleged

Fri, 23 May 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation focusing on 110,000 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups from model years 2004 to 2006. One death has already been reported, according to NHTSA, due to a potential fault with the clutch interlocks on manual-transmission versions of the heavy duty pickup.
According to the report, these trucks can be started without depressing the clutch. There have been three reports so far, and as we mentioned above, one very sad incident seems to have resulted in the death of a child.
"One complaint involved an incident that occurred when a child was able to enter the vehicle and start the ignition without depressing the clutch. The vehicle then moved forward striking another child resulting in a fatality," NHTSA said in the investigation bulletin, which you can view below.

2013 Dodge Durango R/T

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Not too long ago, Chevrolet got itself into some trouble by throwing the SS badge on just about everything it produced, so I've always been a little hesitant about the seemingly excessive use of the R/T nameplate on Dodge vehicles. For the 2013 model year, every model in Dodge's lineup has an R/T trim level from Dart all the way up to the Durango. Although the R/T name used to signified models made for road and track, I doubt anyone would be delusional enough to assume the Durango - and some of the other models wearing this badge - are suited for any sort of track duty.
Still, when this 2013 Dodge Durango R/T rolled up for me to drive for the week, I couldn't help but take in its big, mean and imposing stance. Sure, if I had my choice of buying any of the Dodge R/T products, the Charger and Challenger would be my top picks for sure, but it's easy to say that the Durango would be a close third - far above the R/T versions of the Avenger, Journey and Grand Caravan.

Dodge to sell off first Challenger SRT Hellcat for charity

Sun, 27 Jul 2014


Want to get your hands on a new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and can't wait to be the first to get one? Las Vegas will be the place to be on September 27. That's where Barrett-Jackson will auction off the very first example. And you'd better bring your checkbook, because the bidding is sure to be fierce with all the proceeds going to charity.
The supercharged Challenger with VIN 0001 has been hand-painted in Stryker Red (usually reserved for the Viper) and features special badging, documentation and accompanying memorabilia - not to mention, of course, that 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8. The car will be on display this weekend as well at Barrett-Jackson's Hot August Nights auction in Reno.
