Here's the holly grail for Stealth fans - 1991 RT twin turbo Dodge Stealth convertible made by the famous R.Straman Company of Costa Mesa, CA. The convertible conversion alone cost $14K in 1991, which pushed the total cost of the car when it was new to over $45K. This car is one of an estimated 24 turbo Stealth convertibles made by Straman. Full power top with a matching boot cover. A red with black top Straman convertible was featured in the 8/91 issues of both Road&Track and Automobile, both magazines come with the car. Straman added considerable structural reinforcements to the car, which are detailed in the magazine articles. I further supplemented it with front & rear strut bars. The car is still perfectly aligned with absolutely no body sag, the doors close & latch easily with a gentle one finger push. It is smooth as glass on the highway at 80 mph with the top down!
I'm its 3rd owner, I bought it in 2001 with 47K miles on it. It now has 69K. The drivetrain is bone stock - right down to the air filter. Full 60K timing belt service done 6 years ago by a certified Mitsubishi master tech. I've always run synthetic oil, and all fluids in the trans and rear are proper synthetic GL4 and GL5. The transfer case was replaced under factory recall about 10 years ago. Drive line center carrier bearing replaced a few years ago. Runs strong and shifts smooth like it should with no issues. It does not leak any fluids. The ECS struts are all in good condition, and it can still be switched between Sport and Touring modes. The only idiot light on is the one for low windshield washer fluid.
Custom red and black interior. All seats are in excellent condition with no worn spots or tears. It has the usual cracked defroster vents. It does not have the usual bubbles in the interior door panels - both are perfect. Some of the fabric on the inside of the windshield header and pillars is looking a little dated. All gauges, power windows, power locks, cruise control, and climate control all function properly. Three of the 4 factory chrome wheels are near perfect, one (rear passenger side) has slight curb rash (see photo). Michelin Pilot tires are all wearing evenly and have lots of tread left. I just had it professionally detailed. The detail shop repaired a large scratch over the rear driver's side wheel, and got a little overspray in a small section of that tire's tread. They also removed most of the black crinkle paint off the engine front valve cover. It is a 22 year old car that is driven semi-regularly, so it is not perfect.
Radio and in-dash 6 CD changer are from a newer Mits Eclipse, so the steering wheel audio controls do not work. Kenwood amp mounted behind one of the rear seats cranks up the Infinity speakers nicely.
Car is solid and mechanically sound to drive anywhere. I drive it to Seattle once a year (200 mile round trip on I-5) without any problems.

It ain't easy keeping a Hellcat steady at 170 mph on ice
Mon, Mar 28 2016The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat you see hit the ice at Arsunda Speed Weekend in Sweden, over two hours north of Stockholm. It's said to be bone stock, save for the studded tires that help it grip on ice. But it apparently takes more than some steel studs and a lead foot to keep it pointed the right way. Just look at how much driver Alx Danielsson has to saw at the wheel to keep the Hellcat from veering off course. Fortunately he seems to have the chops to do so, being not only a native of Sweden (and therefor imbued from birth with otherworldly abilities to drive on ice) but also having won the highly competitive Formula Renault 3.5 Series championship back in 2006. In the end Danielsson hit a top speed in excess of 170 miles per hour, touted as some sort of record, however unofficial (and specific to Dodge Challengers). That's a fair bit shy of the 205 mph that Bentley achieved in the Continental Supersports, but while that model had slightly less power than the Hellcat, it did have the benefit of all-wheel drive – something that could make all the difference in these kinds of slippery conditions.

Dodge Durango to stay classy with Ron Burgundy as spokesperson [w/video]
Sat, 05 Oct 2013The upcoming 2014 Dodge Durango has a lot of things going for it, including its 290-horsepower V6 and 360-hp Hemi V8 engine options, an eight-speed automatic and aggressive looks. And now it will have Ron Burgundy, the fictional television news anchor played by comedian Will Ferrell, as a spokesperson, Adweek reports. He follows in the footsteps of other non-fictional Chrysler brand spokespeople such as Eminem, Clint Eastwood and the late Paul Harvey.
Though the star of 2004's Anchorman and the upcoming Anchorman 2 is wildly popular, we're not sure we see a Dodge spokesperson in Burgundy. (Please, no womanizing or scotchy, scotch, scotch before test test drives). But at this point there's no turning back: Chrysler's chief marketing officer Olivier Francois previewed three ad spots at the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) Masters of Marketing conference in Phoenix on Friday, and says Chrysler has already filmed 68(!) Durango ads with the fictional newsman.
According to Adweek, one of the ads previewed had Burgundy highlighting the SUV's glovebox size, and in another he compared its horsepower to a white horse standing next to him. Will this help Dodge Durango sales improve? We can only wait and see. In the meantime, feel free to share your thoughts in Comments, and check out the trailer for Anchorman 2 below.
QB says University of Alabama offered him a Corvette to play football
Fri, 16 May 2014The University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team could be in some hot water, following a pair of posts on social media.
The first post was sure to raise a few eyebrows on its own. It's an Instagram of sophomore running back Derrick Henry standing in front of his new Dodge Challenger (we're guessing it's an R/T based on the fender stripes). Complete with a custom set of wheels, the image was enough to trigger more than a few questions about where an unemployed student-athlete came up with the money for such a purchase. Now, this could be harmless. Henry, flush with a full-ride to Bama could have convinced his parents to get him something nice with his college fund.
The second post, though, is a straight-up accusation. It comes from former West Virginia Mountaineer and current CFL quarterback Pat White, who posted the following on his Facebook page.
