This isn’t our first sampling of the reborn Dodge Challenger. We’ve driven the SE, R/T and SRT8 variants before. However, this time it’s different. We’ve secured a Challenger SRT-8 with a six-speed manual transmission – and it’s a whole different breed of bull. The six-speed-equipped... 

At the Chrysler business plan meeting this morning, Ralph Gilles, CEO of the Dodge car brand, dropped big news on the Viper. After going back and forth for the past 18 months on what to do with Viper, Chrysler has decided that production of the current Viper will end in July 2010. Before that happens,... 

We’ve been hearing about this car for three days, but we just couldn’t find it. Then, just before lunch, one of our intrepid reporters tracked the beast down within the tropical bowels of Las Vegas Convention Center’s Central Hall. Behold: the HPP Daytona! Yes, it’s a new... 

It’s always somewhat dark and murky down at the Mopar booth at SEMA, but this year Chrysler managed to bring out some pretty cool concepts. One of our favorites is this Dodge Challenger 1320 (if you don’t know the reference, channel you inner Vin Diesel), which started as a Drag Pak Challenger... 

Even though last year’s SEMA was ostensibly represented by the Camaro, it was Dodge Challenger City in the halls. To make sure the Challenger doesn’t come up lame a year later, Speedfactory has taken a 2009 SRT8 Charger with a 6.1-liter Hemi aluminum block, bored that block out to 7.1-liters... 

Back in 1993, truck drivers had no choice but to depend on domestic automakers for work-ready pickups, and only Ford and General Motors offered competitive haulers. That all changed a year later when Dodge set the pickup truck market on its leaf springs with the introduction of its all-new Ram. With... 

According to The Detroit News, the big joint development program formed several years ago between General Motors, Daimler, Chrysler and BMW to develop a two-mode hybrid system for light duty vehicles is over. With all four automakers now having launched versions of the gas-electric system, the joint... 

In a little more than three weeks, Sergio Marchionne will reveal his 5-year plan for Chrysler. According to information revealed by a Fiat exec and Chrysler board member Alfredo Altavilla last week, at least one electric car will be part of it. While visiting a gearbox factory in Italy, Altavilla... 

When news of the Devon GTX first wafted our way, we didn’t know what to think of it. Another bit of pretty vaporware being shown to attract investors? Another pet project from some megalomaniac with dreams of grandeur? Another American supercar boasting record-breaking performance with nothing... 

Today, we mourn the passing of a fallen pint-sized performer. If reports from Inside Line’s Straightline blog are accurate, it seems that the Dodge Caliber SRT4 will no longer be offered after the 2009 model year draws to a close, and that’s something of a shame. As we’ve already covered,... 

Nearly a year ago, the cover of Mopar Enthusiast asked the question: Could the Plymouth Road Runner be reborn? The obvious answer: No. But that didn’t stop the buff book from publishing a host of gorgeous renderings by Michael Leonhard, an independent artist hailing from Austria. Based on the...
