Jeep Grand Cherokee Red Vapor SRT

Jeep and SRT have put together a new limited edition of the Grand Cherokee SRT called the Red Vapor.

SRT loves to see what they can get out of the cars they’ve been given if the Hellcat models of the Charger and Challenger are anything to go by.  For Jeep, being able to push 707 horsepower isn’t a priority but that doesn’t mean the engineers can’t come up with something creative.  The Red Vapor is a sports performance variant that can get top speeds of 160 mph, not too shabby for a SUV.

The Red Vapor was first shown off this last October at the Paris Motor Show.  It has an incredibly attractive red paint job with a glossy black grille.  The interior includes leather covering everything from the seats to the steering wheel and a back-lit SRT badge to really drive home the notion you just bought yourself a premium Grand Cherokee.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Red Vapor Limited Edition should be making its way out to the dealership soon.  It might be late for Valentine’s Day, but this is the SRT Jeep for red-lovers.

Dodge Challenger Hellcat SRT Takes on F16 Falcon in Race!

Dodge Challenger SRT vs F16 - SRT DealerNY
I am all one for thinking outside the box for races, but I think Top Gear may have caused everyone to have to get outrageous on occasion. Take the new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, praised for its extreme horsepower, and what it was put up against. If you ever debated between getting a Challenger Hellcat SRT or a F16 Fighter Jet, then I have a video for you.

Yes, that is an absurd thing, but never let it be said that for all my complaining, this is a guilty pleasure. The guys at /Drive decided to put the Challenger Hellcat SRT up against the Fighter Jet to see what would happen, but they didn’t plan on having the race during a monsoon.

That causes the Challenger Hellcat SRT to have initial trouble achieving the full potential. It’s no question that once the F16 gets up to full speed, it will pull ahead of the muscle car. The question to ask is how will it fare in this terrible, wet weather and how much can it gain on the fighter jet before it reaches full takeoff speed?

Watch the video and see for yourself how the Challenger Hellcat SRT does against the F16 Falcon:

Jay Lenos Thanks Wound Soldier With a New Car

Jay Leno is a car lover.  Since retiring from the late show, he has been inviting audiences into his vast garage to see his magnificent collection.  So when it comes time to think of something to give someone a gift, it is a sure bet it is going to be car related.

Leno wanted to find a way to express his love for the troops while visiting them in Afghanistan.  He wanted to do something incredibly special that would provide a moment away from the chaos of combat and life away from home.  He created a lottery for the injured soldiers to pick one from random and give him something special.

The name that won the lottery was Cpl. Ethan Leberge.  He was injured by a suicide bomb that left two other soldier dead and seriously injuring him.

Jay Leno invited Cpl. Leberge for a joyride in the new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.  In a heartbreaking moment, Jay asks him what he thought of the ride and Leberge responded with “Yeah I wouldn’t mind having one of these” and Leno hands him the keys telling him that “It’s yours.”  A hug later Leno reminds him that “America loves you.  Don’t get any tickets.”
