Dodge Charger Pursuit V8 Is Officially The Fastest Cop Car

For the record, it’s always a bad idea to run from the police. Even if you’re tempted to mat the accelerator when you see that aging Crown Vic getting larger in your rear view mirror, just remember this: you can’t outrun a radio. Your odds of outrunning a police cruiser just got a bit smaller, too, since the 2012 Dodge Charger Pursuit V8 has set a new police car lap record at Grattan Raceway in Michigan State Police testing.

Is The 2012 Dodge Hornet The Anti-Caliber?

If you’re a fan of the now-discontinued Dodge Caliber, be prepared to be offended. Perhaps the best example of what happens when accountants design cars, the Dodge Caliber gets my vote for the worst domestic car of the past decade. It was, in fact, the only rental car I ever returned before driving off the lot, and even the SRT guys apologized for the Caliber SRT4, saying essentially, “we did the best we could with what we had to work with.” Read more

Dodge Fans: Look For A Caliber Replacement at 2012 NAIAS

If you’re partial to all things Dodge, here’s another reason to attend the 2012 Detroit Auto Show (or at least keep a close eye on the news feeds): Dodge is said to be unveiling a replacement for the less-than-well-received Caliber. The Caliber ended production in 2010, and it’s quite possible that no one even noticed. When a noted auto journalist complained about the handling and braking of the Caliber in SRT trim, a Chrysler engineer said something along the lines of, “It’s a Caliber, and we did the best we could.” Read more

2012 Marks The Return Of The Dodge Avenger R/T

The current Dodge Avenger has been around since the 2008 model year, and until 2011 buyers could opt for an Avenger in sporty R/T trim levels. In 2008 and 2009, buyers could even get an AWD version of the Avenger R/T, powered by the same 3.5-liter, 235-horsepower V-6 that powered the front wheel drive version. These early R/T versions were more show than go, and Avenger models were routinely panned for their fit and finish, reliability and sub-par braking ability. For 2011, Dodge made some significant improvements to the Avenger model range, including a new interior, revised suspension tuning and a more powerful, 3.6-liter, 283 horsepower Pentastar V-6 option for select Avenger models. The Avenger R/T model gets the year off, but returns to Dodge’s lineup for 2012. Read more

Internet Find of the Week: Dodge Viper GTS

This week seemed dry, and I was nervous about the continuation of this very new segment.  Like the proverbial knight in shining armor, TYC Photography released these shots of a stunning, white, Dodge Viper GTS.  My jaw hit the floor and my mind played the melody of that 10 cylinder engine.  I often overlook the Viper when recollecting sports cars and these shots further the proof that I should not.  Thank you TYC and keep up the good work.
