SRT Viper 5 gen 2013

by Ross Mills

Behold, the 2013 SRT Viper, a beast with an 8.4-liter V8 engine that roars with 640 hp and a Tremec T6060 six-speed manual transmission. It’s like strapping a cheetah to a rocket and giving it a steering wheel! With improved handling, anti-lock brakes, and Brembo calipers, you’ll stop on a dime—if you can find one at 206 mph. Inside, it’s all about comfort with leather racing seats, a Harmon Kardon audio system, and enough tech to make your smartphone jealous. Plus, it’s got a “Stryker” moniker. Because why not?

Dodge Viper – First Two Generations

by Ross Mills

The Dodge Viper’s wild journey began with Chrysler engineers’ dreams in 1988, and by 1991, Carroll Shelby was tearing up the Indy 500 track with a 10-cylinder beast. The first-gen Viper, a raw powerhouse on wheels, lacked the frills like windows or door handles, making it the “world’s biggest Harley fat boy” according to Car and Driver. The second-gen Viper, sleeker and slightly tamed, still struggled with braking but thrilled with its “double bubble” roof and potent 455 bhp engine.

by Wes

Somewhere on the Tennessee-Mississippi state line, a yard swallowed by tall weeds hides a lineup that makes your stomach drop: Chevelles, Impalas, Novas, and tri-five 1955 Chevys, all neglected and waiting. Patrick Glenn Nichols does the barn-find fantasy for a living, and this one delivers the full mix of elation and heartbreak. Every car is a rescue waiting for the right hands. Watch history get pulled back into the light.

1966 Ford GT40 Mark V in Yellow & Engine Sound of A REAL ONE

by Wes

With the Ford GT40, one question outweighs all others: is it real? On Lou Costabile’s My Car Story, this yellow 1966 example gets a flat answer from the host, this is not a kit car, this is a real one. Filmed at PHP Race Engines, where builder Barry Sale has cared for its engine for a decade, it is the genuine Le Mans weapon rather than a tribute. Then it fires up. Watch and listen.

by Wes

A 1968 Dodge Charger R/T and a 1965 GTO Tri-Power line up at the quarter mile, and it plays out like a decade of bench-racing arguments finally getting settled. The Charger brings a 375-horsepower 440 Magnum and a 3.54 rear; the GTO counters with a 360-horsepower 389 and a savage 4.10 posi. Two four-speeds mean driver skill matters as much as cubic inches. Watch Road Test TV settle it.

by Wes

Cliff Batson swore he was a Chevy guy for life, and then a 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback in Lime Gold Green quietly changed his mind. He has owned this fastback since 1990, long enough for the car to build its own history one weekend at a time. On Lou Costabile’s My Car Story, the paint stuns and the engine note seals it. Sometimes it only takes one car to convert a lifelong loyalist.

1970 Plymouth Superbird – Rotten Or Golden Egg?

by Wes

The 1970 Plymouth Superbird is one of the most divisive muscle cars ever made, a winged NASCAR homologation special that dealers once struggled to sell and collectors now chase for fortunes. Built for 190-mph banking and armed with Mopar best engines up to the 426 Hemi, it looked like nothing else on the road. Was it a stroke of genius or an overwrought mistake? Watch and decide for yourself.

Lotus Elise Series 1 – 1996 – 2000

by Ross Mills

The Lotus Elise Series 1, a featherweight British roadster produced from 1996 to 2000, is the ultimate gym buddy—it trims every ounce for performance gains. With a curb weight of just 725 kg, it’s the sports car equivalent of a sprinter on a diet. Featuring a mid-mounted 1.8-liter engine and a five-speed manual transmission, it zips from 0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds. With models like the roofless 340R and Exige, the Elise is proof that sometimes less really is more—especially when it comes to weight and fuel consumption!

Dodge Dart 1963 through 1976-G3 & G4

by Ross Mills

From 1963 to 1976, the Dodge Dart evolved from a compact pioneer to a muscle car marvel. Initially flaunting a slant six engine—perfect for impressing neighbors with its 101 hp—Dart soon beefed up with V8 options, like the 340 cu in powerhouse. By ’69, models like the Swinger and GTS flaunted speed, while the ’70s ushered in groovy names like Dart Demon. Despite design tweaks and bumper transformations, Dart’s charm remained as solid as its body frame—until it bowed out in ’76, leaving behind a legacy of style and speed.
