Absolute droomkar jong, zo'n SRT-8.

Zwart op zwart graag, en die supercharger is een must.


Hoi Ferrari F430... waarom maak jij zoveel lawaai als ik naast je kom rijden?

Dodge Challenger ook verkrijgbaar nu in Road/Track vorm

Upgraded for 2009, the R/T's 5.7-liter Hemi V8 now produces 375 horsepower and 404 pound-feet of torque when paired with the manual. Go with the five-speed automatic and the ratings drop to a mere 370 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque.

A higher compression ratio, variable valve timing and two spark plugs per cylinder help the revised Hemi generate the extra power, while continued use of Chrysler's Multi-Displacement System (MDS) contributes to a 5 percent increase in fuel economy.

A 5 percent increase not enough for you? Then consider the Challenger S/E. It uses a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 250 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. Of course, it only comes with a four-speed automatic, so you stand a good chance of getting waxed by a Camry. Dodge hasn't offered up any performance figures for the SE, but it says the R/T will go from zero to 60 mph in less than 6 seconds.

The 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T's optional manual transmission is a Tremec TR6060 six-speed. It's essentially the same gearbox used in the Viper, but the gear ratios have been changed to deliver better fuel mileage. It has triple-cone synchronizers for 1st and 2nd, double-cone synchronizers for 3rd through 6th, and a dual-disc clutch. It's also worth noting that the SRT8 model will have the same six-speed manual as an option for the 2009 model year.

All manual-equipped Challengers will also get a limited-slip differential and a special dual-exhaust system that Dodge says optimizes the trade-off between minimal backpressure and optimal sound reduction by replacing the standard muffler with twin bottle resonators.

Dit met manuele bak + LSD + 5,7 HEMI of de automaat SRT-8?

Wachten tot de manuele SRT-8 er is

"All Challengers equipped with a manual transmission get a limited-slip differential. Add in the 404 lb-ft from the new 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and burnouts shouldn't be a problem."

Och ja, dat is die custom Corvette C3 Sportwagon ofzoiets.. van een ex-coureur dacht ik maar 'k bent niet zeker.

Greenwood Sportwagon. Ik dacht dat er iets van een 230 van gemaakt zijn. Greenwood is/was een Amerikaanse tuner van corvettes.

Leuk weetje: de achterruit van de Sportwagon komt van een Pinto.

Het eerste wat ik doe is die cover eraf doen.

Juist ja! Wel ja John Greenwood was een ex-coureur.

Dat van die Pinto wist ik niet.

Uit de comparo van R&T tussen de GT-R, 997 Turbo en de Z06.

No doubt, the Corvette's credentials are impressive: Producing 505 naturally aspirated bhp and 470 lb.-ft. of torque from its 7.0-liter V-8, the svelte Chevy packed the strongest punch of the group, while being the lightest on its feet, tipping the scales at a lean 3350 lb. It kept pace with the others to 60 mph, and then managed to set the fastest trap speed at the quarter-mile mark (123.7 mph), besting the 911 Turbo by 2.5 mph and the GT-R by 7.2. This just goes to show that although the Corvette couldn't get off the line as quickly as its awd competitors, once it got going, nothing here could touch it.

Degene die ooit die Ford-stukken op een Corvette schroefde mogen ze van mijn part een ferme schop in de kroonjuwelen verkopen. FOMOCO en GM zijn aartsvijanden.

Dan Gurney said that he only had one request before agreeing to endorse a special-edition Saleen Mustang designed in his honor: it had to be "faster than Parnelli's." Saleen was happy to comply, and the Dan Gurney Signature Edition was born. Like the Parnelli Jones Signature limited edition, the Dan Gurney Signature Edition Mustang features graphics inspired by classic Trans Am race series cars, an extremely limited production run and of course some serious performance parts.

The Dan Gurney Signature Edition Mustang is set apart by a special body kit, duckbill rear spoiler and a "stinger"style hood scoop. Inside, a signature plate is personally signed by Gurney, and the two-tone seats have blue or red Alcantara inserts that are color-matched to the exterior. Saleen will build 100 Dan Gurney Signature Editions in each available color: Torch Red, Performance White and Vista Blue. Like the Parnelli Jones edition, the racing stripes and number stickers will be available so owners can create a road-going race replica if they desire. It's a tasteful package that will appeal to fans of vintage racers without looking too garish.

To ensure that Gurney's performance wishes were fulfilled, Saleen installed a supercharged 465-horsepower 281 cubic-inch V8 under the hood and connected it to a short-throw shifter. A 3.73 limited-slip Max Grip rear end helps to get the power to the road. Handling is improved with a Racecraft suspension, a second-generation Watts-Link rear end and Pirelli Corsa tires. The suspension setup was approved by Gurney himself.

It's a cool package; all we can hope is that someone will arrange a track-day shootout of each Saleen special edition, with its namesake at the wheel.
