2011 Dodge Charger vs. The General Lee

What happens when you put a late model Charger up against the late 60s icon? The guys at Edmunds decided to find out. Who do you think won? Check out the video after the jump! There’s also a second interview with Bob Hartwig of Cinema Vehicle Services, who provided the authentic 440-powered General Lee, one of just 17 to survive filming the original TV series.

Note: there used to be an Inside Line article which went along with the video, but Edmunds deleted it when they decided to kill off Inside Line. Go figure.

Brad Riepe’s Awesome Pro Touring 1969 Plymouth Road Runner

This car has been featured all over the net and from this pic you can probably tell why.  Brad Riepe of Iowa bought this 1969 Plymouth Road Runner at age 16 in 1983 for $100, but the transformation didn’t start until 1999, when he bought a NHRA Pro Stock Hemi. The motor is pushing a whopping 1,300 hp and Brad keeps things in control with a Viper suspension and big Wilwood brakes. More pics plus some video after the jump! Via Fastcar UKStreetlegal TV and Lateral-g.net
