Top Gear Magazine shoot with NEW Challenger SRT8

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! Andrew has been kind enough to offer ALL STREETFIRE members a 30% discount on any purchases. Get your favorite ride on everything from posters to coffee mugs. Make sure you use the special code "StreetFire1X" (case-sensitive) to get the discount.

Garage 419 Interviews the Director of the NYIAS

View Video

Brought to you by Garage 419.

The New York International Auto Show opens to the public on Friday. While all the automotive blogs and news sites are out there talking about cars we already know about (I mean really, is an SL "Black Series" really news?) we wanted to get some real information on how they put the show on. What's it take? How long is setup? Who makes it happen?

Matt Farah from the New York Motor Club got a sit-down with Candida Romanelli, Director of the New York International AUto Show for all the inside info.

Oh, and as for the upcoming Jay Leno interview... Can't wait to see that one, Matt!

SEMA 2007

Some people look forward to holidays such as Christmas or even their birthday but in the wonderful world of cars the entire year builds up to one week, SEMA.

And once again the StreetFire team will be attending this glorious event so that we can bring our loyal and glorious users coverage they might not otherwise see. As I sit here at the airport terminal trying to tune out the many annoying sounds of the airport (Dancing With the Stars on the TV, the announcer on the intercom trying to find some lost passenger, and the couple next to me having a conversation in a language I can't understand) I know that in 1 short hour my plane will land in Sin City and I will be in automotive heaven for the next 4 days.

With that I would like to encourage everyone to check back DAILY and HOURLY as we will be uploading videos not days, but HOURS after getting the coverage. We are dedicated to bringing you the best SEMA coverage so check back frequently.

[Geneva 2007: Lamborghini Special]
[Geneva 2007: Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe]
[Geneva 2007: Audi S5]

Fantastic video coverage, I particularly like how the host says "Lamborghini Superleggera"... women speaking Italian is a weakness of mine. MAybe if I'm lucky I will be able to make this show next year. Anyhow, a warm thank you to the production crew of UnitedPictures for providing us with this fantastic video coverage of the event.
