CARPIX DRIVES THE NEW PRODUCTION DODGE CHALLENGER

Brought to you by CarPixTV.

Here's the video scenario: Two black Challengers go for a drive at the LX Owner's Show in Irvine, California. One was released in the 70s (seeing this car back off the trailer will give you chill bumps) and we are on the verge of the release of the 2009 model. The guys also scan the Dodge product line and capture a Viper drifting and doing 360s. It's pretty sweet watching the Challengers cruising along side by side.

The guys from CarPixTV are the first ('third party Non-Chrysler personnel') to provide moving footage of the Dodge Challenger production car and to say they are excited to bring the action to you is an understatement. Look for their 'hard driving' video podcast April 11, 2008.

Can a Chrysler 300 SRT8 take a C6 Vette?

Time for some MOPAR love, here is a well put together video from Mellon at RaceVideoForums.com. About 3 minutes in we see a SRT-8 playing on the highway with a Vette, doesn't look to me like they started out at the same time, so personally I would want to see a rematch, but watch for yourself to be the judge. Also later in the video we see a Viper shut down a C5 Corvette who is trying to get around...not terribly surprising.....

ASC Diamondback Viper: Concept and Prototype Pictures

When we first saw this prototype, we assumed it was an updated Viper powerplant, but now we know better: This is a prototype for ASC's McLaren-tuned Viper!

ASC gave us a sneak peak of the Diamondback Viper Coupe with its 615-horsepower V10 engine at the 2006 NAIAS. But this Viper - caught while undergoing testing - is estimated to be at least 650-horsepower!

ASC and the Dodge boys have been putting the miles on these Diamondbacks while touring the Copperstate with stops at the Grand Canyon, and enjoying the cool mountains of Flagstaff. It sounds more like a summer camp than a job!

But fun aside, the Diamondback is expected to go from zero-60 in about 3.5-seconds, or possibly/probably less!

Lightweight with lots of carbon fiber, the Diamondback has been described as "super-light and super-fast" and now it appears that the Diamondback will soon become a reality.
