Viper Gets Last Place in Motor Trend’s Best Driver’s Car Test
So I guess Motor Trend doesn’t like the Viper. Maybe they were mad that SRT gave them a beat press car with some hard miles and worn out tires. But the only car in their test that actually beat the Viper around Laguna Seca was the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series, a car that costs more than twice as much. Hmmm. So which one is the best driver’s car? Oh, a Porsche that was three seconds slower. Video after the jump.
Incredible Low Mile 1971 Hemi ‘Cuda on eBay
They only built 108 Hemi ‘Cuda hardtops in 1971 and I doubt you’ll find one nicer than this. Wearing its original paint with just 2,010 miles, this ‘Cuda is also claimed to be the most heavily optioned 1971 ‘Cuda in existence. And it looks absolutely stunning in Rallye Red with those big billboards. Yeah, it’s an automatic, but I dig the vinyl split bench seat (a $16 option). Lots more pics plus the extensive auction text from the guys at RK Motors after the jump. Yeah, they want almost $2 million for this bad boy but I’d say it’s worth it…
Insane Custom 1987 Jeep Comanche on Craigslist
Here’s one for our growing WTF category. This custom Comanche will either sear your eyeballs or make you laugh. I kind of like it, but wish they’d picked a Ranger or S-10. A lot of work plus a fair amount of misguided creativity went into this thing. To add insult to injury, it now has SBC power. More pics plus Craigslist ad text after the jump! Via Jalopnik

Jalopnik’s 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona Review
Jalopnik recently drove a 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona all over Texas, and managed to snap a pic of it in front of the “Playboy Marfa” art installation I told you about last month. Although the reviewer seemed to like the car, he was disappointed by the 5-speed automatic and the quiet exhaust note. Oh, and the fuel economy. Well, the exhaust is an easy fix. Read the full review at Jalopnik and see what you think.

Lee Sicilio’s 1969 Dodge Daytona at Bonneville
Last year Bangshift ran this great feature on Lee Sicilio’s 1969 Dodge Daytona and his attempt to hit 300 mph at Bonneville. Well, he came back this year but his tranny blew up up 250 mph. There’s always next year…
