SRT Vipers Face-Off in Street Race!

SRT Viper

What would happen if you took 2 Vipers and put them to race against each other?  The answer is much less thrilling than it sounds.  It turns out that if you put the Viper Street Race Edition against a Viper TA, you get a very close call.

TRC (That Racing Channel) did just that and filmed it for their YouTube site.  It certainly seems like an interesting idea on paper; to see if the difference in performance between the two Vipers would translate to one completely out doing the other.  What happens instead is a very close race that amounts to a very close call between the two.

Both vehicles featured in the video are the 2014 models and both are equipped with a V10 engine.  To compare, the Carbon Edition has ported heads, exhaust, intake, tune, and pulley while the TA Viper has exhaust, intake, tune, and pulley.

Jeff Dunham Poses with Two Eras of Dodge Challenger

Jeff Duham is notable for being a comedian and a ventriloquist, but he is also a rabid car enthusiast. A while back, Dodge teamed up with him to promote the UltraViolet Dodge Challenger SRT8. He has a long running love for Dodge and he wanted to show it to Jalopnik.

In an email to the website, Dunham included a picture showing him between a 1970 Dodge Challenger and a new Challenger SRT Hellcat. Both have the same matching color of sublime green as Dunham stands beaming with pride, as anyone should be if they owned these two marvelous machines.

He wrote in the email that getting the new Hellcat was “…a no-brainer… I have a 1970 Sublime (green) Dodge Challenger RT 4 speed 440 6-pack with hood blackout decal and black side stripes, and comes Chrysler offering the Needs-no-introduction-baddass-Hellcat in Sublime metallic with a black aluminum hood…”

I can’t really fault that logic. If I was the lucky owner of a 1970 Challenger, I would go crazy over the Hellcat. Not only is it one of the most powerful muscle cars out there, there’s a lot of little touches in the design to make it the spiritual successor to the 70’s Challenger. Even Duhman refers to the two as “Grandpa and grandson.”

To get that new Hellcat SRT, however, sacrifice had to be made. Dunham had to ditch his Prius. “I dumped the f-ing blue Prius and got one.” Seeing what he traded up to get, I’d say it was worth it.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Red Vapor Limited Edition Coming to Dealerships

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.
