You remember the Hurst Dodge Challenger, right? That mean, Vortec-supercharged
I was a movin’ man in my younger days
But I gone out my ramblin’ ways
I left that road so far behind
Now I know, oh babe
I got mine…

The sun’s coming down as I dip off the interstate, long rays nicking off of the Challenger’s endless nose. The sheet metal, dipped in retina-snatching Inferno Red [...]
This, Fiends, has been a long damn time coming. Since the Dodge Challenger first waltzed its wide tail onto the dance floor in late 2007, the muscle-car battle lines were re-drawn and FoMoCo, Bow Tie and Mopar loyal tucked into their respective corners. While Edmunds technically took each car to task in a head to [...]
Alternately titled: Our Tax Dollars at Work. The United States Air Force commissioned two cars, a Challenger and a Mustang, to be converted into Air Force quality supercars. Evidently that means scissor doors and matte paint. As far as we know, there aren’t any afterburners under the hood, but the rigs should be good enough [...]
I. Despite bankruptcy, Steve Saleen released a new monster creation based on the Dodge Challenger. Called the SMS 570X, it’s packing a Mopar 6.0-liter with forged rods and slick new aluminum heads.

I. Prodrive is stepping in to put Subaru back in its rightful place: WRC. The Prodrive Subaru Impreza STi WRC2008 will compete starting at the Rally Portugal with Marcus Gronholm at the helm. If anyone can give Sebastien Loeb a good run for his money, its Gronholm. And Subaru. [Source: 0-60]
When life gives you lemons, take them racing. Er, something like that. The Fiends over at iMotor (the same kids responsible for the Tag a Panamera bit) have taken the tired cliché about making the best of a situation and applied it to Chrysler’s circling of the drain. They’ve cranked out a flash game where [...]
As promised, Steve Saleen has begun rolling out his array of muscle-bound metal – starting with the SMS 570 Dodge Challenger. Thanks to an SMS supercharger planted on top of the Dodge’s 5.7-liter Hemi V8, this Challenger rocks to the tune of 500 ponies. If that’s not enough for you, a 570X version will also [...]
It’s hard to say how long the muscle car renaissance will last, but guys like Steve Saleen are here to make sure we enjoy every last second of it. Saleen’s SMS Limited is set to introduce tuned versions of the Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger and the Chevrolet Camaro. This month will see the introduction of [...]
