The Mopar Top Eliminator Program is Back!
This will be the seventh season of the Top Eliminator program, which honers the best Mopar restorers and modifiers. A total of four winners will be selected in 2013.

And this is super cool: a fourth will be chosen online. Builders can upload pics of their Mopars and people will vote to determine the winner. More details at Chyrsler.com

1969 Dodge Charger Daytona is the Perfect Vehicle for Vin Diesel in Fast & Furious 6
Check out what Vin Diesel told the guys at Top Gear:
“I felt like the Daytona spoke to the character,” Diesel said. “It’s always a big process picking the cars and the casting of the car normally reflects the state of mind of our characters.”
Director Justin Lin also thought it was the perfect car for this film:
“The Daytona is a car I had been looking at for the last three Fast & Furious films but they never felt right,” Lin explained. “It did for this one.”
