The All-American two-seater was the brainchild of Carroll Shelby and Lee Iaccoca, and it never compromised. […]

This week’s cold weather has made us remember December. The last month of the year has always been our big Christmas double issue. Back in 1994, our December issue was the largest to-date. It had all the fun toys for 1995, and none was more anticipated than the Dodge Viper. Don’t be fooled by the […]

We would like to think automakers build cars that people want to own, but sometimes it seems their priorities become misguided. Fiat-Chrysler is betting the farm with the return of Alfa-Romeo and the expansion of Maserati. As these new models arrive, they have bid farewell to the Dodge Viper. What began in 1988 as a project […]

Making incredible horsepower is a nice achievement, and making it on a pump gas pre-owned Dodge Viper is simply shocking. Many people view race fuel as the dividing line between street and track, and there is a good reason why. In the days before wideband oxygen sensors and computer controlled ignition, it took high octane […]
