The 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise started off with a blast and has been more successful than ever.  More than 10,000 auto enthusiasts showed up to make sure the 2015 show was the most memorable yet and to show that they definitely want to see a return of the event in 2016.

One of the coolest competitions was the drag race.  Not only was it a chance for drivers to show off their cars and skill in an old-fashion race, but Dodge had a prize for the ultimate winner in the form of a new 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8.  The winner was Brandon Philips with his 1969 Dodge Super Bee.

The other major race event was Richard Rawling’s Gas Monkey Garage vs Roadkill’s “General Mayhem.”  The two competed in a drag race to see whose supped up car was the best.  Rawlings brought a customized 1967 Dodge Dart with a Hellcat powertrain inside.  Roadkill brought a 1968 Dodge Charger, also with a Hellcat powertrain.  The ultimate winner was Gas Monkey’s Dart making me wish to see a Dodge Dart Hellcat in the near future.

People who attended the show definitely got to see all kinds of celebrations of cars.  They were given the change to take rides in the new SRT Hellcats as well as new Dodge Vipers.  It is certainly a show to remember.

Dodge Introduces New 2016 Viper ACR

2016 Dodge Viper ACR

Dodge can’t help themselves when it comes to building cars with massive amounts of power and speed.  Just look at how much buzz the Hellcats generated when they put out the horsepower on those babies.  Not to be shown up at the game it started, the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR is now a thing and it is claiming to be the ‘Fastest Street-Viper.’

The Dodge Viper was always intended to be a supercar.  Now it just has to work a little harder to keep that title with other vehicles now competing against it.  That is where the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR comes in.

Tim Kuniskis, Dodge’s President and CEO, presented it during a tour of the FCA’s Conner Avenue Assembly Plant where the Viper is produced.  According to him, the Viper ACR is the fastest car they’ve made in the history of the company.

To pull off that incredible feat, they added new and improved aerodynamics to the Viper as well as used lightweight materials like thin carbon fiber and an aluminum body.  This helps the Viper ACR achieve a top speed of 177 mph. That is technically lower that the SRT Viper’s speed of 204 mph, but Dodge says that with the added downforce of the ACR’s aerodynamics, the ACR will be able to blaze past the other Vipers.

It is exciting to see the Dodge brand really taking their new mission statement of producing the top-level vehicles for the Fiat-Chrysler family.  The new Viper ACR seems to be making certain that Viper lovers don’t feel their supercar is being left behind while the muscle cars battle for supremacy.

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.
