Few things piss me off quicker than having someone pass me on the right while there’s an open lane on my left. As someone who spent quite a bit of my vagrant youth tearing ass through the hills, dales and interestates of Virginia, I know exactly what can happen when you sneak up on someone [...]
Got ten minutes to kill? Sure you do. The fiends over at Speedhunters have sourced up a great clip of a GT3 Dodge Viper and a GT3 Porsche 997 going at it on the world-famous Nurburgring. With plenty of lap traffic from lower race classes and the challenge of Green Hell itself, it’s ten minutes [...]
I. Chevrolet released some shots of a super-sexy cop-spec Camaro. The modern-day Blues Mobile has all the trimmings including sneaky red and blues in the headlights and a pushbar. Awesome. [0-60]
British Roadster builder Al Melling has been keeping himself occupied since gunning for the TVR name not too long ago. It seems the man responsible for a gaggle of V8-powered roadsters has his sights set on plopping a more potent mill behind the headlights. Something like a V10. The car is already under development at [...]
Designer Rafael Reston has taken to pondering what the Dodge Viper would have looked like if it originated in the ‘60s. What’d he come up with? A heaping pile of hotness. Reston says he took time to research construction methods available at the time, as well as all the craziness Chrysler was working on. When [...]
I. Volkswagen announced that it will bring its Polo sub-compact to the U.S. to compete in our ever-growing small car market. True, the Polo may be a little on the dull side, but they’ve been selling like hotcakes in Europe for 30 years. No word yet on when the Polo will emigrate, but VW says [...]
A couple of dominant themes have already reared their ugly heads at this year’s Detroit Auto Show. First and foremost, the gloomy economic conditions and the resultant (near total lack of) auto sales have factored into everyone’s speeches — even sales-record VW Group. Next in line? None other than Captain Planet’s fleet of green machines. [...]
You’re looking at McLaren’s take on the Dodge Viper. Built for the North American International Auto Show in 2006, the car received a few performance upgrades to help boost power to 615 – 115 over the base car at the time. Aside from adding a little gusto, McLaren also focused on ditching weight from the [...]
That’s right, the boys known for the baddest pistol-grip shifters in the land are turning 50. What are they doing to celebrate? Rolling out special edition Dodge Vipers, of course. The cars can only be had in black with gold stripes or white with gold stripes and will rock a couple of tricks to separate [...]
So, I was browsing through YouTube in rather lazy-assed psuedo-preparation for my stint at the NASA Road Atlanta enduro, and I happened to come upon this gem of a video. At first glance, it’s fairly simple: a chap in an awesome Viper makes a potentially deadly mistake at Road Atlanta. Turn One at RA is [...]
