August 26, 2024 Francis Mitterrand

Seven years ago, Dodge stopped production of its two-seat sports car, the Dodge Viper, due to serious financial problems. It is considered one of the best American cars that has proven its capabilities in GT2 races. One of the Viper GTS-R GT2s is up for auction.

This Dodge Viper GTS-R, with the chassis number C36, is equipped with a large rear wing, racing lights, a hatch in the roof, and a lower, more sculpted body kit, with a yellow livery and a lot of advertising stickers. It was developed in 2000 by the French company Oreca, and achieved great success including winning three FIA GT Championship titles. It was ordered by the German team Zakspeed for races at the VLN championship and 24-hour races at Nurburgring as well as for the FIA GT 24 hour race of Spa-Francorchamps in 2003.

There is not much information about the car, but what is known is that it weighs 1,100 kg and is powered by a rebuilt 8.0-L V10 engine with about 600 hp (441 kW). The engine is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.

The car is listed on Race Cars Direct and the asking price is €750,000+VAT. It comes with the DMSB Wagenpass, with the homologation changes stated.

Six cars gone in 45 seconds

March 8, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

After four Hellcats were stolen last September, the Don Franklin Somerset Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership was robbed again. Last week, from the same salon located in Somerset, Kentucky, robbers stole six cars worth $ 600,000 in a short time. Everything happened very quickly, in just 45 seconds.

First they activated the alarm, which takes one minute to activate. However, everything happened so quickly that the alarm did not even sound, and the police arrived at the scene three minutes later.

The police report states that seven people entered the salon through a window, after which they found the keys, took the cars and left in different directions.

During the night, the police managed to find five cars, one of which was destroyed during the police chase, and the driver was arrested. Four cars were found at various locations in Tennessee and Alabama, and one of them had run out of gas. The sixth car has not yet been found, but is believed to be in Alabama.

Milk delivery truck with 815 HP

May 31, 2022 M.K.

In the past, a milk delivery truck could be seen on a daily basis, but it has long been out of use because people now buy and store milk in refrigerators. Many of these trucks, which were moving on American streets, were produced by the company Divco, and one of them got a second chance.

Nick and his father decided to convert the milk delivery truck into an acceleration racing vehicle. This is not their first project, considering that they have done five of them so far, and we can say that this one is impressive. The exterior of the truck has been retained, the bodywork is the same, but the chassis was taken over from a 1995 Chevrolet pickup truck and redesigned.

The interior has changed significantly. Seats from the Dodge Caravan have been installed, and a new sound system with a subwoofer has been installed. The truck also got navigation. Nick has more plans for the truck, and it certainly won’t be slower.

When it comes to the powertrain, the old 107 hp (79 kW) engine has been removed. Now the truck is powered by a naturally-aspirated V8 Chevy Big Block engine with an impressive 815 hp (599 kW). This power allows the vehicle to reach a speed of 114 mph (183 km / h).
