SEMA 2008: Dodge brings a Viper powered Challenger

“Dodge Challenger SRT10″.
Got a helluva nice ring to it, dontcha think?
The current top-o-the-line Challenger, the SRT8, is a pretty beastly muscle car, one that delivered more than its rabid fans had expected. Quite frankly, its performance statistics are more than enough.
Dodge’s high octane SRT team apparently didn’t think so. I bet what happened is one [...]

SEMA 2008: Camaro LS7 Concept

This is what happens when you combine a modern muscle car with some good ol’ nostalgia.
The LS7 Concept was inspired by the COPO Camaros of the late 1960s. For those who are unfamiliar with the “COPO” designation, it was made famous by motorheads like Don Yenko in the late 60s. What happened was you [...]

Dodge To Sell Viper (sob)

Dodge To Sell Viper (sob)

No, no, no!
Say it ain’t so! This is terrible news!
Dodge is apparently going to begin negotiations for the sale of its “Viper” nameplate. Chrysler has always been the most anemic of the Big Three, and with Ford and GM both hit hard by the economy crisis, I can only imagine what the situation is like [...]

Chevy Camaro Laps ‘Ring in 8:20

Times change. It used to be that a car was measured in terms of torque and horsepower, then the focus became more on horsepower, and then the Veyron came out, and everything became measured in terms of top speed. Then gas hit four bucks a gallon, so now it’s all about mileage. So I’ll give [...]

Resto to Retro

Resto to Retro

Ahhh….the sound of 454 cubic inches of raw untamed muscle coursing through my body, beckoning me to summon all of its inner demons with each crack of the throttle. Almost forgetting the laws of the land, I release the clutch, smash down on the “loud” pedal, and let rip every pony that existed in [...]
