FRIDAY: TOP GEAR Magazine shoots the Dodge Challenger

Episode 5 of Challenger Week at Streetfire is an exclusive behind the scenes shoot for Top Gear Magazine of the 08 Dodge Challenger SRT. We compare the new car side by side with a classic 1970 Challenger & get the inside scoop on photographing a lengendary car from the prolific auto photographer Andrew Yeadon.

Make sure you've seen what's already debuted here at Streetfire.net.

I mean, it's just hot bikini girls getting wet and soapy , plus endless amounts of burning rubber as the Dodge Challenger Drifts its way across the asphalt and then onto The Track to burn more rubber.

But whatever, your choice.

Celebrities Drive the New Dodge Challenger

If you had to bet on a drag race between Snoop Dogg vs David Spade, who would you put you money on? Recently StreetFire had the opportunity to attend the Dodge Challenger Celebrity Race Day at Willow Springs Race Track.

Around noon the helicopters started flying in with the celebs on board. First in Rob Lowe, David Spade and Luke Wilson. Snoop arrived in style last walking down the red carpet in-between an original and new Challenger. With all the celebs present the games started. Drag racing with Carmen Electra as flag girl, track laps, and a drifting ride-a-long. All in all a great day out .

Check out some photos of the day (video to come)

Photos include: Brad Paisley, Carmen Electra, Chace Crawford, David Spade, Kimberly Williams, Luke Wilson, Michelle Trachtenberg, Audrina Patridge, Rob Lowe, Snoop Dogg

Top Gear Magazine shoot with NEW Challenger SRT8

The new Dodge Challenger has taken the car show circuit by storm lately but what is it like on the road? Our friend Andrew Yeadon from CarPix invited the StreetFire video crew along for an exclusive shoot with Mopar's new muscle. This particular shoot was very special as it was the first time the new Hemi-powered Dodge was photographed and videotaped outside of Chrysler's own marketing. What's even cooler is that this particular shoot was for the famous Top Gear Magazine. Look for it at newsstands in the very near future. This is actually the second time Andrew has been assisted by StreetFire.

Check out the February 2008 issue of Top Gear Magazine for our last collaboration. On page 111 there is spread on the Callaway C16 Speedster.

This video has a little of everything in it. Watch as the Challenger cruises down the old El Toro airstrip in Southern California alongside its 1970 counterpart and learn some tricks of photographing automobiles from our friend Andrew Yeadon.

Also, make sure you check out CarPixArchive for some of the most amazing automobile photography you will ever see!

You know how an old song can put you right back in a place you haven't visited in years? Can you imagine what that same song would do to your psyche if you were riding in the car of that decade? Or maybe if you were extraordinarily lucky, you owned the car everyone was drooling over: the GT500 Super Snake. Then again you may be too young to have memories that take you back to the decade of "Make Love Not War" but with the nostalgic mindset of automakers -- bringing back the muscle car, you can make your own memories. Young and the not as young will enjoy this eye candy. It is a look back at some real beauties.
