Although it might have been the fastest domestic four-door sedan available in the USA for 1991, the Spirit R/T might not earn you accolades from your neighbors or country club members. Nevertheless, it holds the distinction of being Chrysler’s swiftest K-car ever manufactured, a title akin to being the winner of a burnt toast competition. […]
The Dodge Aspen was built for only 5 model years (1976-1980) but it was an interesting time in the automotive world. American cars were being downsized as such a rate that the Aspen started life as a compact but finished as an intermediate without any change to its dimensions. I would say that the Aspen […]
“You don’t need a V8” — said nobody. Imagine for a minute that you have $10-$15k to spend on a cheap rear-drive late model V8 powered family coupe/sedan. It might seem like not a lotta money if you went to Carmax and saw all of the overpriced Camrys, but in your local craigslist you’ll find […]
The third and current generation of Dodge’s Challenger hit the showrooms in 2008 and has survived with limited changes for a remarkable 14 years. Dodge claims they will replace it in 2024 with a vehicle that includes an electric powered option, but the Challenger in its current configuration is a glorious automotive dinosaur. Lots of […]
Two grand doesn’t buy much in supercar from the 1990s, even in the case of a twin turbocharged all-wheel-drive Japanese car masquerading as a domestic. I know that the 3000GTVR4/StealthRT platform is known for being costly to repair, but even if there is a rod poking through the block of this next car, I think […]
The Dodge Stealth was a US market re-badge of the Mitsubishi 3000GT and it was available as a basic V6 powered front-drive thing or a VR4 equipped twin-turbo monster. Today’s example started as a basic R/T model with a 223 horsepower V6, but it was given an engine swap in the form a twin-turbo from […]
Fewer cars have a worse reputation for being a cheap ride than the Dodge/Plymouth Neon. It is true that the interior materials used in these cars is low rent, but the layout is decent enough and very functional. First gen ACR model Neons made due with same DOHC engine that was available on lesser models. […]
We all know the guy (or gal) who is obsessed with the 90s. Always listens to U2, quotes Seinfeld, and rocks a Zach Morris hairdo with matching preppy sweater. He probably drives a Camaro or C4 Vette…but it is probably because the dude isn’t an investment banker and doesn’t have much to spend on a […]
by Glenn — The 70’s were a time of change for the car industry…gas shortages, smog equipment, and new safety regulations all had a major effect on car manufactures and consumers alike. Car designs started to evolve around new crash standards resulting in…well lets just say it wasn’t pretty. Most North American cars were utilitarian […]
For what seemed like decades the sight of Ford’s Crown Victoria headlights in your mirror would reflexively bring a throttle lift to many an driver, ruining Porsches that happened to be mid turn and generally clogging up the roads. Ford ended fleet sales of the aging Crown Vic in 2011, but Police Departments around the […]
