The Challenger

Muscle cars.
      Oh, dearly beloved muscle cars.

This time I write about the new Challenger. As you might have noticed, Dodge made a little more effort in remaking an old 70's muscle car. Back in early 2000's, the Charger was the bomb. Everyone wanted a Charger (even me). So, when I searched online for the previous Charger models, basically the ones of the 70's, I noticed that the Charger was a whole new car, based on the Chrysler 300c, that had nothing to do with the old Charger, except that they put a V8 in it.
 
Then, they released the Challenger. And I thought "That's a muscle car". It had the looks of the old Challenger (I think the just drew lines over the picture of an old Challenger). It was the same car, with modern looks, and a really bulkier design. Until this year.
Thanks Dodge!
They finally added the final touches to the Challenger, and now it looks more retro than ever. It now has the #1 position of my favorites muscle cars. From a 3.6 V6  (-_-) to a 6.2 Supercharged  Hemi V8 SRT Hellcat 700+HP engine (and a bigger 6.4 HEMI V8 with the not so awesome 485HP), and more than 6 models to choose from (they changed just a few bits and bots here and there on the V8 models), it's a car to be considered if you really want one. Just be aware of the big costs difference between an RT V8 to a Hellcat 6.2!!!
 
On the interior, Dodge created this driver-oriented feeling I (personally) love in a car. One thing I really liked about this new Challenger was the new rear lights and their retro looks. I'm posting some pictures of it here. There's even a Shaker version of the RT Lol! Just because of the hood they put in it.
 
It's been a while since I last posted, and I have been eager to come back here and start posting again. So enjoy, like and share! :-D

I never really imagined that I would have so many followers on my Twitter account ( click to visit my Twitter account ;] ) But reaching 200 followers plus new ones that follow me everyday made me want to say thank you to all of you, and to all of you who have read my posts on my blog.  THANK YOU! And as a "thank you gift post", I have decided to write specifically on the 200, as in 200 followers, as in the Chrysler 200. Yes, the Chrysler 200s. and I have decided to skip the part where I write about the other models and engines and stuff. I just want to tell you why I really like the 200s. Back in 2010, I was working with this guy who had a Chrysler Sebring '09. He was all about Sebring. By that time I really liked the 300c. It was my favorite car, along with the Charger. I even went once to a car dealer to buy a Charger R/T, until I changed my mind lol! So he was always Sebring this Sebring that, and I didn't really liked his car or the Sebring at all. I saw the c

Evo FE

N o, FE doesnt stands this time for faith in spanish. FE is what Mistubishi made of the Evo. The Final Edition. The end of this high performance sports sedan. The first gen Evo came in 1992 and it featured a 2.0L DOHC turbocharged engine with AWD. In 2003 Mitsubishi saw the success of the Impreza WRX STi from Subaru and decided to make a run for the Evo in the US market. A long time favorite car for car enthusiasts and people who love precise handling and speed. And Turbo.  The Evo X hasn't been updated since it appeared in 2007. Some complains include the Recaro seats being only available for one trim of the Evo and the lack of the steering wheel adjusting to the front. This year, the Lancer features a refreshed front design, and that's it. And the Evo features its final edition. Compared to a Subaru Impreza, the Evo lacks many things and features. But who cares? An Evo is an Evo! So, what's new for this Final Edition? All black interior with red stitchi

Old Cars: Reborn

Image
We have seen how car names have come from generation to generation, like, for example, the Ford Mustang. Born in 1964, it has been ever since the favorite of almost every car enthusiast out there. On 2005, Ford decided to go retro with the Mustang, using as inspiration the design of the first generation pony car. But the Mustang name has never died, unlike some other American muscle cars, like the Dodge Charger, a very classic American muscle car that came back to life on 2006 ( with a mouth-watering 6.4 V8 HEMI on the R/T :D ). Also, the Dodge Challenger (1970-1983) was brought back to the streets on 2008. Another car ( one of my favorites :D ) was born in 1967. It lived until 2002, but it was reborn from the ashes like the Phoenix in 2010. Can you guess the car? Well, if you are thinking "Camaro", you are correct. It's design evoked the one of the first generation Camaro, the reason why almost everyone like this car, including aliens ( why you think Bumblebee transforme
