Viper vs ZR1 again, The new Cuda and next gen Challenger

You are probably well aware of the Dodge Viper and Chevrolet Corvette rivalry. It’s been going on in various forms for quite a while now and in the last six months it has been stepped up considerably with the launch of the new SRT Viper, which got it’s rear handed to it by the ZR1 the first time. This hurt the egos over at SRT so they brought the Viper TA to the next fight. The Viper managed to squeeze out a victory in what has been a hotly debated comparison. Well motor trend has gotten together with Ralph Giles of SRT in a round table discussion to talk all things Viper, including Viper vs Vette.

SRT Viper TA

The round table yielded some other goodies as well. For example we learned the new Cuda is a ways off still, meaning we will get an all new Challenger in 2014. It is said to debut at New York next year. In related news the new Cuda WILL NOT be on the same platform as the Challenger. hmmm. That opens the book for all kinds of interesting possibilities. Also the next Challenger is aimed to throw hands with the Z/28 Camaro and what ever Ford comes up with between now and then. It looks like the pony car wars are alive and kicking. TAKE THAT FOUR DOLLAR A GALLON GAS! MURICA!

Film Friday: BJ Baldwin Trophy Truck vs. Nissan GTR

Trophy trucks are amazing! I’m hoping to cover a few of the offroad races in my area this summer but for now you should just be amazed at what a modern trophy truck, in the capable hands of BJ Baldwin, can do.  Do yourself a favor, turn it up and watch it in full screen mode.

Film Friday: Vintage racing crash compilation, seat belts optional.

VIntage wreckage

I’m generally not one for watching crash compilations.  They just seem a little too morbid for my tastes. This video is a special case, it really shows how far we’ve come in regards to vehicle and course safety.  A word of warning for the squeamish, some of these crashes look like they might have been fatal.

Big Block Powered 1968 Chevy Camaro

First Generation Camaros are not exactly rare these days, but that does not make them any less cool. Especially when they have ditched the 396 for something a bit more big blockish….like a 454. One such example is this cool 1968 Rally Green Camaro SS that showed up at the cruise in last Friday. it is an attention getter for sure because of the great color, and even better sound.

The Camaro was quickly surrounded by other cars at the get together so it was a little tough to get great photos but I persevered none the less and you can hit the jump to see a whole bunch of shots of this beautiful example of the 1968 Chevy Camaro.
