Totally forgot about this great video by Audioslave from 2003, based on everybody’s favorite Mopar movie Vanishing Point. According to the guys at Bangshift, they used two Challengers during the filming of the video and then gave one away to a lucky fan when they were done. Video after the jump!
We’ve featured a lot of weird non-Mopar Hemi swaps. But this is the first time we’ve featured a Mopar with non-Mopar power. This 1971 Scamp was apparently rescued from an Arizona scrapyard. It then got the full pro touring treatment and then a twin turbo motor out of a Toyota Supra. What do you think? Sacrilegious? More pics after the jump! Via Pro-Touring.com
Most people associate Breaking Bad with Walter’s Pontiac Aztec. But I always think of Skyler’s awesome 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Of course later Chrysler sponsored the show and we got a Challenger and a 300. But I love the old Grand Wagoneer.
A large group of SRT cars was recently spotted out testing, including several Challengers prototypes with front bras hiding a revised front fascia for a lower air intake, plus different exhaust. These Challengers are most likely equipped with the new supercharged 6.2-liter “Hellcat” Hemi V8 which will help Mopar compete with the Camaro Z/28 and Mustang GT500. Power is predicted to be in the 600 horsepower range. The Hellcat Challengers are expected in 2014 as a 2015 model. See all the pics at Allpar
Take a 1969 Dodge Charger and drive it into a concrete wall at 100 MPH and it will look like this. Not sure this crash test proved much, though, and I can’t find any info on why this test was done. Cars have gotten a lot safer since then, but I doubt a new car could save anyone with that kind of impact. Via StreetLegalTV
Mike Musto and I attended a SRT Viper event last week in his badass Daytona. I already showed you the pics. Now you can check out the video after the jump!
Can’t shift out of park or into gear in your LX Mopar? Then your pink thingy is probably broken. Check out a great writeup on this common LX automatic transmission malady over at LX Forums.
