This week’s Muscle Car of the Week is the 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A. The Trans Am Series inspired, small block equipped E-body was actually the first car in US history to be equipped with two different sized tires. All-black Challengers with steelies just look mean. Video after the jump!
Jalopnik explains why we need a 707 hp, 204 mph sedan. Remember as a kid when “because” was a perfectly reasonable answer to a question? Why a Hellcat Charger? Because. That’s why. Read the article here.
AutoGuide reviews the 2014 Ram 2500 equipped with the 6.4. They rate the interior as class leading and like the rear coil/airbag suspension but seem hung up on the fact that the Cummins is a better engine for towing. Well duh. Read the entire review here. Video after the jump!
Allpar has alerted us to an online petition to bring back the pentastar as the official symbol of Chrysler. Head over to change.org and sign the petition. The Mopar faithful helped saved a Viper. Let’s bring back the pentastar!
Hooniverse reviews the Viper GTS. Jeff Glucker does a good job of explaining exactly what the Viper is and why we need it. Video after the jump!
As the Charger and Challenger have similar trim levels, the Charger R/T Scat Pack (like its two door stablemate) should also prove to be a nice balance between the 5.7L R/T and the 707 hp Hellcat. Powered by the 485 hp 6.4L Hemi and equipped with SRT styling cues, this modern muscle car starts at only $39,995. Read more at Torque News. More pics after the jump!

A true A/FX Super Stock race car, this Coronet was first raced as JC Penny’s “Penny Pincher.” Reggie Jackson was a former owner and the car has spent the last ten years at the World of Speed exhibit at Wayne Lensing’s Historic Auto Attractions Museum in Roscoe, IL. It appears this car was recently purchased at Barrett Jackson’s Scotttsdale auction in January 2014 for $73,700 and is now for sale with an asking price of $150,000. Find more info on the current sate at Hemmings. More pics after the jump!
Head on over to MoparMax Magazine and read the story behind this 1967 GTX. It left the factory as a 440 4-speed car. A previous owner dropped in a 426 Hemi from a 1970 Super Bee but the current owner was able to track down and purchase the car’s original 440. More pics after the jump!
